>>11207443>>11207461He's 100% right though. Action figures use injection molding which uses a metal mold, the cost of which accounts for a large portion of production costs. If a figure uses parts for which a mold already exists, it will require less new mold production, and thus be cheaper to make. This isn't conjecture, it's pretty common knowledge, and it isn't just true for action figures. Hell, the same is true for GW's models. The rhino and the leman russ are cheap compared to many newer models of roughly the same size, because they made their money back from the molds years ago.
That price is a function of how much it cost to make, how much they think their customers are willing to pay, and how many they expect to sell. But you aren't interested in thinking for 10 seconds about how the costs might be calculated, you just want to whine, so you're throwing a fit and screaming that someone else is shitting up the thread. Buy it or don't, no one fucking cares, but don't act like the idea of thinking through logistics is absurd.
