Default Cheaper toy production!

has anyone looked into casting their figures in Vinyl? The designer toy company KIDROBOT uses vinyl for all of their toys because it is A LOT cheaper on the manufacturing side. Apparently with vinyl they can use copper to manufacture the molds instead of the steel molds they need for traditional plastics which cuts down on the price of shorter runs of toys and makes the 'limited edition' designer toy market possible.

Not sure how vinyl would hold up for miniature football figs but it could be something to look in to.
