China is the least green industralized country when it comes to manufacture- cheaper to just import or use oil from there than to recycle, I'd think.

Cost concerns need to factor in articulation and scale- making something MU sized, which is likely completely hand assembled and finished has to be more difficult in complexity and quality control.
We see all sorts of ebay stuff that walked away from the factory, for example, but really no ML figs go that way.
It's also possible that different scales are made in different factories (or different buildings in the same industrial park)- Hasbro cramks out a lot of 3.75" figures after all.

All issues aside, we're getting the very best 3.75" figures ever made and I for one am a happy guy....though moving it all resulted in TWO 30 gallon plastic bins full of figures!
