So wait, they can do a Gorn with rubber skin, but the tooling for the Borg Queen or a FC drone would be too expensive on an articulated figure?

They are probably apples and oranges, requiring different skills, different factories, different materials, with the latter taking up more resources that are also needed elswhere.

My understanding is It's the manufacturing costs because it has a bespoke skin I suppose. It's too costly to produce in large numbers, presumably because its price point means a lot of people who claim they are interested will bow out. I think he caught a cold with Seven, who was arguably far more popular and doesn't want to go down that road again.

He may also have grossly underestimated interest.

I don’t see how he would have underestimated the interest. People have been asking about it for a while now.
