Allow me to simplify.
Mattel owns MOTU. So, Mattel pays Mattel $0 to make MOTUC figures. That cost is passed on to the figures they make, which after the costs of production, profit for Mattel, and paying Mattel for the rights to make MOTUC ends up being $22.
Bandai does not own TC. So Bandai has paid WB millions to make TC figures. That cost has to be recovered in the pricing of the figures they make, which after the costs of production, profit for Bandai, and recovering the expenses for the rights ends up being a very high cost, likely around $80 a figure just to make the same amount of total profit as Mattel does without losing money, either on the license acquisition fees or on the cost of production with the same number of purchasers as MOTUC has currently.
The quality of the figure is irrelevant, it's the license cost that keeps Bandai from emulating the MOTUC business model.
the QUALITY is INDEED relevant. I WILL BUY MOTUC bacuse it looks great and is well made...I WILL NOT buy this drek for me or my kids because its crap .
Oh yeah, and the hardcore fans of the Original show are the ones with the money...yknow .....the parents.
