I get this question a lot! And I get it sometimes you can probably find the actual toy for even less than $20 so the same price for a miniature seems like a lot.
That comparison however, is not apples to apples. Here's a little glimpse to the process of making a miniature:
Design Time– Each mini is custom-designed, sized, and prepped for printing. This can take hours to days of creative work.
Print Time– Each part/piece is individually printed, often taking several hoursper mini.
Material Costs– Quality filament isn’t cheap — especially for the detail and durability collectors expect.
Finishing & Cleaning– Every print needs careful support removal, sanding, and sometimes gluing — all by hand.
Small Batch = Higher Cost– I'm not a factory. I'm a small business creating small runs for collectors like you.
So when you buy a $20 mini, you’re supporting art, creativity, and a maker who loves Fisher Price as much as you do! Hope this gives a bit of insight
