Right now yes. We're talking about the future. 10 years ago most toy companies were still sculpting their figures in 2-ups. Now they use 3-D printers for prototyping. It's not a stretch that 10 years from now 3-D printing tech won't advance leaps and bounds. I can't even imagine what the price point it would work at would be when you can't predict how much inflation will occur over time. 10 years ago I was paying $7 for a 2-pack and now I'm paying $8 for a single figure.
