Companies need to show us great likenesses and great sculpting and we will pay it.
I know NECA really wanted to do a 1989 Joker and likeness costs were astronomical. It wasn't Neca, but similar issue with Shining figures. Shining I'm fuzzy on remembering. I know some toy company was going for it, but Jack flat out said no... They had the ok from the rest of the cast, but scrapped the project coz no Jack was a no bueno. I saw the hand-made prototypes. A collectibles shop I used to frequent had the prototypes on display for a few months.

Asking $80 for a Mezco One:12 is borderline extortion for many. The $110 for Batman 1989 received lots of saber rattling. Even NECA gets a ton of flack if they DARE release a figure for a MSRP of $30 instead of $24.

While you might be willing to pay the premium, it seems many toy makers don't see the cost outweighing the benefits.
