I'm not 100% familiar with the plastic molding bit, but from what I was always led to believe, the quality of the plastic has to do with the COOLING of the plastic after it's been cast. A cheaper plastic cools faster, but also becomes more brittle. When you're dealing with white plastic, it costs xx amount more to get the same quality plastic as a not-white colored one.

White plastic is hard to do because the cheaper the plastic, the more "dirty" it looks, the cheaper it feels, and the more quickly it falls apart. It's not as bad as the dreaded gold plastic, which is too soft and thus degrades from dryness over time.

The Fourze Gadget Change figure thingie was $45? I though it was supposed to be a budget line?
