My question is can you give me a ballpark production cost for a small run of action figures (approx 5000 pcs, 5-6 inches tall, 19 points of articulation)? I”ve been hunting the web like a madman and there doesn”t seem to be any information. I”ve already got my prototype sculpting estimate and want to know what my other costs may be. Hope to hear from you soon.

I was wondering  about the direction that figures went in the 80’s looking steroid enhanced. I was an art student in the then and I had a few friends who were hired to design proto-types for wrestler action figures. I wonder if the wrestler figures influenced or created a sort of footprint for later science fiction of fantasy figures? Or was it more of a cultural trend; Swartzeneger and Stallone influenced? What do you think? How did the figures go from 1970’s  lightweights to 1990’s heavyweights?

Thanks for listening!
