Thanks to all of you who actually deal with the math involved in these types of things. Its provided great insight. I'm amazed at how when some people see these figures/acts, they still insist the price should be halved. Personally, I wish the price was closer to $15. It would be easier to convince myself to get all the new figures rather than the ones I really love.
Now, whether or not you are willing to pay that price...WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

First one, all molded with no cloth clothing and overall smaller
second one happy meal toys are often joint promotions between whatever property and the fast food joint. They are made to promote the property and food. So often, the price of the items is beside the point because they are promoting a movie/tv show and going to the fast food joint.Comment

Does anyone know for a fact the difference between molded figures and clothed Mego style dolls? My logic says that sewing outfits, making accessories like boots, assembling the figure makes for a more expensive toy than a molded figure that is assembled and painted.
But what do I know? I was kind of surprised when I just looked up what a Barbie goes for at TRU online. I know the economies of scale are VASTLY different, they sell so many of them, but Barbie was cheaper than I thought she'd be given the number of accessories and clothing items any particular doll is packaged with.
What's a fair comparison to the Retro-Action figures? We don't really know how many they make...This profile is no longer active.Comment

But it still comes down to 25 cents worth of plastic and some chinese workers who get paid 20 bucks a week...Comment

A friend of mine has a comic shop and sold the new retro megos for $15 and he still made a profit. DR Mego at the time was a few bucks more plus shipping. Now Toys R us is a few more bucks then that. Somethings not kosher.Comment

Playline Barbies really are an incredible value.
The costs are kept low by the absolutely enormous production runs they have. Playline Barbies are also sold just about everywhere. Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Kmart, Kohls, etc. and they are even sold at drugstores and grocery stores. Now when you get to the more elaborate and limited edition Barbies, prices start going up.Last edited by Werewolf; Sep 24, '10, 5:17 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

That's interesting... I thought someone posted on here the comic shops had to charge $25+ just to make a tiny profit...Comment

The Mcdonald's stuff is paid for by Mattel and DC. Promotions like that are bought and paid for under their annual advertising budget, not production budget. It's supervised by an entirely different arm of the company.
It would be nice if right hand actually got to meet left at Mattel. Maybe someday...
