Exactly! Flat out lying to our faces. You don't need to be an economics major to understand you can't sell something at cost and stay in business. He also says they've been taking a loss on international shipping. Another lie. No business as big as Mattel is going to do anything that loses money intentionally.

Matty has stubbornly & arrogantly dismissed all feedback from their consumers. QC, Dig River, etc. They did this to themselves, most fans want the original characters from the 80's. Not fan made BS & concept figs.

These things are made in China, & thanks to NAFTA Matty gets to have them made over there and shipped back here w/out paying any duties on the import. I can see these costing so much if they were being made in the US. But that's not the case. Hasbro can make quality figures such as ML, and they're still only $15 and that's AFTER the retail outlet mark up. Matty has no retail mark up. So to sit here and lie to our faces saying they cost soooo much to make, is insulting.
