So you can see the costs compare when it's made by the same company using similar techniques, especially when you consider the fact that GI Joes come loaded with accessories out the butthole. Yeah, there was a lot of mold reuse (KEYWORD HERE), but MLs reuse stuff too and they were still releasing newly molded stuff for the Joe line anyway.
