The cost is lower since they all mainly use the same bodies. The fabric outfits and new heads/hands are far cheaper to produce than a fully sculpted figure. Escape From NY was one they tested in retro, and it sold low enough, they didn’t do anything else with the license.

Night of the Demons is exempt from that, however. Those are requested by, and most likely 100% funded by Shout Factory as exclusive product. For NECA, it doesn’t matter how well they sell, the run is already paid for (it would matter to Shout Factory though).
