Why is Hasbro 12 inch Marvel Comics so expensive?

It is generally not cheap to do it by hand.

1. First of all, when making a hand-made film, obtaining the copyright of the original role is the most basic prerequisite. If someone else's original work is not authorized, even if it is produced, it is illegal. And when buying copyright, you need a lot of copyright fees. This fee must be charged to the final consumer.

Secondly, you need to hire a designer to make a prototype after buying the copyright. The more skilled the prototype designer, the higher the cost. As above, consumers also need to pay for it.

3. After the prototype is completed, it is necessary to start making molds. The more complex the role, the higher the requirements for the mold. Moreover, the service life of the mold is limited. After basically 100 pieces, the mold must be made again, otherwise the wear will make the finished manual handle defective. The point is, there are also many fees here. Similarly, buyers are still consumers.

4. Coloring is a highly technical manual process, and colorists need certain artistic skills. Moreover, it must be done by hand. As long as anything involves the word "pure hand", the cost will definitely increase.
