Cheaper because, in comparison in value, you're getting more stuff (and girls are bigger than Figma) for the price of what would basically be a standard Figma anime girl with some hands and a few tiny accessories. See the Yuru Camp girl's non-DX 8k yen price tag.
I'm fine with this, we got new Symphogear girls and more chances to see bigger designs.
