>>7240858>You sound legit mad because other people can disprove your retard logic.You're not disproving anything, Putin. Flour costs pennies per the pound and just because your country has a problem with baking shit or even getting that flour only means that your market is shit.
Directly to the heart of the matter, Hasbro is paying China about $3 per figure to make them. this isn't expensive at all, yet YOUR country has to drive that cost up... how much? 15x that? Half as much more than in the US and Japanese market.
Your country set that arbitary price point and thats why you don't count. Shit isn't expensive, except in your shitty country because you lack... ... what?
Why are prices so high in your country, Vladmir?
And here's what you can't even begin to contemplate: if Hasbro can offer so many features in their $3 to produce toys, guess how much it costs for everyone else to produce? If Bandai and Mattel are including half as many features for their $20 toys, then their shit is $1:50 to produce.
Now look at Revoltech or other Japanese toys. They're also made in China and their costs are going to be the same as someone like say DCC who made those Figuart/Figma level figures for only $30-35. Let's go by the average cost is (2xlabor/cost>2xwholesale>MSRP) (at least for US manufacturers), so the figure costs $7 to produce. Figmas and Figuarts cost upwards of $60 now, and they're made of the same plastics and have the same QC as DCC figures. It's a pretty fucking huge mark up, huh?
>That's basic quality stuffThat isn't basic. Go look at the majority of toys sold in Japan and by not-Hasbro. The vast majority of toys are shit.
... or do you mean, that's the baseline? Then yes, Hasbro's toys are what we should get bare minimum for their price, which even you acknolwedged no one matches.
