3-D printing isn’t that expensive, but it isn’t cheap either. A color figure with that resolution takes a long time to print and process, even if it is hollow, and costs increase drastically with size. If they don’t do it in-house, most 3-D printing companies charge by volume, so a figure 233% taller costs roughly 12.7 times as much to print, plus they require a larger printer to make. They aren’t printing these on a consumer printer.
