Cute but not $20 cute when a regular bag of 32 Army Men can be had for a buck at Dollar General.

Creating a mold for casting plastic costs a lot of money, but once made, you can use it for not-quite-forever and the plastic feedstock is dirt cheap. The upshot is that mass-produced plastic stuff can be very cheap, while small-market plastic stuff is legitimately expensive.
