In order to make any figure, they need money. In most cases the retailers pony up cash which get's production funded. The retailers order product in much larger quantities as well which helps to keep costs down.


Hasbro isn't selling these figures at a loss.

The "Kickstarter" Haslab is a glorified preorder where the production is low(so costs are high) and it's all made to order.

Consumers have always been funding production, just not so directly. We pay the stores that pay Hasbro.

Again until we see a full breakdown of the costs, saying "Greed" just because you don't like the price is ignorant. It's a business, they are out to make a profit and they aren't just going to break even.

That does not mean though you have to like what Hasbro is offering. That's really the heart of the matter is Hasbro for some people isn't delivering a product worth the price of admission.
