But seriously, toys would be much much cheaper if the process were automated. Maybe in 20 or 30 years that might change.
There's a lot of documentaries about how cheap shit is today thanks to automation. Nevermind raw materials getting more expensive, thus they need to cheap out on that too if they want to keep prices low.
IF you are older than 30, it would be more obvious at how much cheaper stuff is today, because you might still have a favorite tshirt or sweater from way back when that you still wear.
My mom was throwing shit out like a decade ago and she was only throwing out new stuff, because her old stuff (pillow cases, blankets, jackets, etc) was holding up better than new stuff. And this is despite her being a fucking fashion snob, who wants to follow latest trends, like brand new furniture every couple of years and new shoes every month.
Complexity requires more labor and for more automation to be involved with toys, no one who likes articulation would be happy.
