Default Why is Miggle not capitalizing

On the custom figure market with all the great customizers out there, I'm surprised that they haven't reached out to some of these guys to mass market custom figures. Is it a pride thing to keep the original figures as the major mass of thier inventory or just a desire to maintain status quo? Just a thought...I feel like they are missing out on a chance to advance the hobby!!!!

Well, if you design a new figure, you're looking at $15,000 just to make a very reliable, long lasting diecast mold for it. Not to mention the figures have to be able to be molded. The more detail you have on them, the more it will cost you. Then, you have to order a minimum, in which could be another $5,000 or more. If you're going to do one figure? You can't, you need to produce 5 minumum. So if you have a spare $100,000 to do this, then please call them. Just explaining it, in a good way.
