Yeah, the price is entirely material and printing costs. They’re hollowed out as much as they can be to try to keep prices down, but the full-color sandstone isn’t cheap. If you’re willing to paint it yourself, you can get it in a cheaper material.

I’ve seen some on eBay selling for $200+, though admittedly those probably aren’t typical. Still, the point stands: $35 for one of these figures isn’t bad.

Most customs go for $30-$60 average. I have never seen a custom go for much more than a little over a hundred for a very detailed pony.

“Overpriced as hell” is those $200 hand-painted customs that still look like crap. ~$35/pony isn’t bad, especially given the high quality of Hashbro’s models and the (to my eyes) high quality of the prints. Seriously, I have Vinyl and Octavia, and they’re great.

It’s just the material and production price, he doesn’t get any money from Shapeways.

they are also using shapeways full color sandstone, which means they can’t take a hit or fall or anything. the cost of printing on shapeways in full color sandstone is $0.75 cm^3. hard to judge from the pictures whether they are charging a lot extra or not

That’s overpriced as hell.  
And I’m not saying that because I don’t have any money (I earn about 600 bucks per month).
