A customizer doesn't need to justify additional costs and labor. It's just that simple.
You want an additional shade of brown on the camo? I'll grab a bottle of the Tamiya, Vallejo or Citadel paints at the hobby shop. I want to make the leg armor look more substantial? I can spend a whole afternoon chopping up some Zoid or Gundam model kits with my Dremel and Exacto to kitbash some shapes. Does the figure need a really cool sort of cape swept over one shoulder? I'll just mix up some green stuff epoxy and handbuild it. Hmm. The left arm should look more techno-organic..I've got a beat up Marvel Legends Colossus that my dog savaged, so I can just use that left arm. Easy peasy!
That whole process when you try to turn that into particular parts choices, paint apps, or custom gear starts getting pricy
very
fast when you scale it up for factory manufacture. When you are looking at a line that is already on life support and supported by only one store? That squeezes the penny even harder..
