Ok, so there have been a number of threads regarding manufacturing - but none recently.

With that in mind I was hoping that others would be willing (perhaps even interested) in sharing their experiences with the design and production of plastic figures for games. With more and more games using wood cubes, meeples, and standard pawns I'm hoping still to make the leap (though perhaps not for our first edition of the game) to plastics!
I've read plenty about it, have talked to other designers, and have had a couple conversations with manufacturers... but real details are elusive. I've heard about $500 per sculpt and about $5,000-$10,000 per mold for pre-production costs.
