The cost of figures is generally based on what the amount of metal is required for the castings. People often wonder what you get. Here's a note from Tom Dye about what's required. (This does not include any data about the quality of the metal which would determine the amount of dross - metal impurities.)  

This might be of some interest to everyone:

Below are the number of figures we typically get from a pound of our metal:
(foot figures)

10mm= 447
15mm= 250
25mm= 29

Keep in mind that Minifigs 25mm are smaller than most others so more metal is
required for most others (resulting in fewer figures per pound). This is why,
with the ever increasing cost of metal, I forsee an ever increasing value in
the smaller scales.

Hope this is found to be useful.

Best,
Tom Dye
