For FOUR...HUNDRED...DOLLARS, they should AT LEAST throw in decent likenesses of Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill and a pile of gear and accessories, like shoulder pauldrons and backpacks and heavy arms and removable battle damage and maybe those portable tripod cannons from Empire Strikes Back, along with a few surprises to justify the steep retail, like the voice chips Dormamu mentioned above.

I wouldn't part with $50 for these. They're just plain stormtroopers! What are you thinking, Hot Toys?

That's easy. They're thinking Cha CHING! Because by the time you're done milking every variant like Joe Moore suggests, you're not just out 4 large. They could release these as:
Han and Luke with special comm mic
Black Squadron Troopers
Refit Hoth Gear and give them the tripod cannon you suggested
Refit Clone Trooper gear in every color of the rainbow
Vader's 501 Squadron (Vaders Hand)
Refit Sandtrooper gear with SDCC special edition mortar cannon

And the list goes on. Those are the ones I could think of while tired! Troopers may be the red shirts of the Lucasverse, but they're the black accounting line in Hot Toys properties.
