>retard still desperately bullshitting and not providing any proof
Again, why did costs suddenly go up for 1:18 but not 1:12? Why would a toy company eat the costs for 1:18 but not 1:12?
Again, you won't answer because you're a retard making shit up to defend some bullshit some guy who made an agreeable statement that pleased you (so he must be right), who heard it from some other guy who heard it from an admin of a message board who read a bullshit interview.

Again, here's proof for what I've been claiming, because what i claim actually happens. Look at how many pieces can fit on a single mold, because the figure is 7". Imagine how many more pieces could fit if was 4" instead.

BTW, your entire argument you're pushing is shit. The joints may be made of a different plastic, but since the engineering is shared across the entire line (like Hasbro's), they /might/ have a single mold for all joints they need to create for every body. Whereas unique sculpts (like the heads, torsos, arms, etc) require unique molds, like pic, and they're going to save momey with smaller sculpts by fitting more pieces per mold.

Again, what changed so much that using fewer molds now costs more money? I expect another retarded answer and no proof, because I'm talking to a 2nd grader.

You're a retard.

A larger figure is going to use more molds than a smaller figure. Nevermind that producing a larger mold also takes more time, thus costs more too.

This is why 1:18 figures cost 50% less than 1:12, or at least, used to. It's hard to saw now, since prices have been fluctuating like crazy.

The cost of steel and plastic is basically negligible. It's the processes that cost money.
