Cognitive dissonance working over time.
This brick isn't made of extra special sand and clay. The letters didn't increase the cost to mold them onto the brick by 300%. It's the same normal molding you'll find on other bricks. It's just a brick that costs $30 because fuck you, pay up.
Everything you find on McFarlane, Mattel, Hasbro, and other budget children toys that you would find on collector lines like Mezco, Mafex, Figuarts, and other collectors lines is because it's CHEAP to produce.
When you see public companies like Hasbro, who expect profit year after year, include a new something that you'd find on a premium priced figure to their $23.99 children's action figures, it's because it cost them NOTHING to include it or actually was cheaper to produce. Companies like Hasbro will (and have) nickle and dime you for every extra quarter of a penny production costs increase by.
So if penny pinching Hasbro, Mattel, etc can use so called "premium" features on their budget childrens toys, it's because it's not actually premium.
If McFarlane can include it, it's because it's still within the normal profit margins a toy company expects to get from budget children toys.
Businesses aren't charities and toys are cheaper to produce than you want to believe.
