The answers to the most important questions are top secret. How much does it cost them to produce these figures? How high is the markup? We're not allowed to know the truly important things. It's just this crappy, broken world the humans have created.

Yup. The greed part I already knew about. It doesn't just start at the company level, but at the basic materials for parts level. The companies who provide those materials WANT more money for them. It's sad we live in this kind of economic society. But that's another discussion entirely.
