>>8589475>the parts under the clothing are common M and F body buck across most of the line? That's a lot of money saved compared to the Japanese figures with new body molds almost every figure. Just sayingThey save money on that, but hand tailoring shit is expensive. It's stupidly expensive compared to just molding it out of plastic.
Just like weathering and other paint apps, it gets expensive really really fast, because every little step is extra money. This is why Barbie and NECA clothes looks like shit, because they don't tailor it to the bodies (plus the bodies they use are basic as fuck).
>And that audience size is SMALLER in Japan.Still ignoring the fact that the US market exists, same with other oversea markets. Japan maybe an island, but it has trading ties with the rest of the world.
>What is this fixation on every toy in an brand being the same price point anyways? Not all characters sell the same number of units.I understand that, and yet, their prices are 2-3x more expensive across the board for no real reason besides tehy know otaku and weeaboos bend over easily. This is my point.
