32:19quality control adds cost per unit
32:22Their bases were crazy, it would think this need to be 50% higher at least.
32:27I'd say it makes sense on the 3D side
32:28That sounds about right
32:36Not an expert, but it doesn't sound worth it :_dizComfy:
32:40this is how merch is born
32:40Tooling (mold) production requires complex and slow processes like EDM and tight tolerances. Those are *very* expensive. Amortization is critical
32:49:skull::skull::skull: huuuuh
32:50basically need to sell 1k figures at at least $60 before shipping
33:14This be manufacturing.
33:15Do they even make a profit?? :_dizPair:
33:16:face_screaming_in_fear:
33:23The shipping cost increases are the outrageous part
33:26She said a no no word
33:27figures like that make the eyes water
他
33:28just need to win the lottery and it'll be fine, no worries here
33:30Super chatting Dizzy Dokuro $180,000 then declaring bankruptcy

33:32I'd honestly say that it's a low estimate the kind that only big companies would get
33:32:face-blue-wide-eyes::face-blue-wide-eyes::face-blue-wide-eyes:
33:33im glad im just a fan. Going through all this would make me snap
33:34that's why scale is so important
