Here's what Shocker Toys was doing way back 25 or 26 years ago. The next years, they raised the price to $23 and they were just redecos, because of the economic crisis AND chinese peasants revolting against low pay.
Midsized companies like NECA were already charging $20 in 2011 and for less articulation.
Hasbro actually cut the budget on MLs to include less articulation in that era too, because they were pushing their 1:18 lines more.
You newfags don't know what the past was like.
