>>10019968>more bullshit to pretend models are somehow more expensive than already made toysNo matter what you say, including the half truths that you sprinkle in, an assembled toy is costlier than a model kit because it's labor intensive.
No ands ifs or buts about this.
If Little Armory kits were made in the hundreds, yeah, maybe it would cost more than a Hasbro or Mattel figure, but they aren't. On the same token, if the Hasbro or Mattel figure were made in the hundreds, it would cost much more than the standard retail figure to produce, even if it was sharing a mold with another figure.
>Has it been made from harder plastic, which gives much better results at smaller scale (no risk of those bipods warping) at the cost of durability, necessitating more precise extraction to avoid breakage?This stood out, because wow, can you be anymore ignorant? The hardest plastics there are is one of the cheapest. Acrylic. It's brittle as fuck (at least compared to other plastics). The other hardest plastic is polycarbonate plastic and only companies like DCC used it for the clear joints. It's not brittle, used for bullet proof glass and BD/DVDs, and one of the more costlier plastics there are. Little Armory doesn't use polycarbonate.
Model kits that use polycarbonate are stupidly expensive, where a small sprue with a few pieces is ~$10. It can look and sound chinsy as fuck too, as some models use paper thin forms, because they're cheaping out on the expensive plastic and it can withstand abuse anyway.
It's clear that you've never handled a Little Armory kit, because its' made of the same shit Gunpla is. Or Kotobukiya. Cheapshit plastic that can't handle the stress children toys need to, likely polystyrene.
In short, you're fucking stupid and have no idea what you're talking about.
