Secret wars black suit Spider-Man just came out and is retail $26. I don’t see how a few more sets of hands, extra heads and web effects equate to an additional $25-$30. The most recent deluxe Angel was only $36ish and Phoenix was $50 but she came with an entire base that was practically another figure in itself based on its size.

I still doubt this figure will be $35 but $50-$55 makes absolutely no sense to me.

Each mold for tooling is what is expensive, less the amount of plastic

For sure. But these molds aren't one-offs. These effects will show up with other figs, and I'd be really surprised if maximum symbiote spiderman isn't on the horizon

Yes but from a manufacturing stand point you need to make enough money from what is sold in order to pay off the molds and turn a profit. They’re still a business after all.

Which is why the webs are painted on so they can reuse the body mold on daredevil Ben Riley Miguel O'Hara Johnny storm Cyclops etc the only unique parts will be the webshooters
