>>10518368>What matters is the shape of the part to be moldedThere's an increase of cost in shape/size, but a single large piece is still cheaper to mold by a lot than 6 pieces that all require their own channels for molten metal/plastic to get into the mold.
You have no idea of how much more expensive that is.
I mean, this is part of the reason why Hasbro sells their 12" shampoo bottle figures for 10¢, because they're made of like 6 pieces total. Even Mattel shows how much cheaper that is with their articulated 8"-12 Zurg enemy figures that retailed for $2.
But thanks for showing how little you know about these processes.
