Want to know how many they make out of one mold and how much the machining, tooling, and modling costs?

Imagine the molds for making those cost 20K to make, and then they're only producing 10-20 of the balloons out each mold. Also keep in mind how much manufacturing room they're using to make these instead of some mass-produced item.

Keep in mind that the company that makes these needs to make a profit and this isn't exactly a mass-produced item. I can see how they're 10K each.
