No doubt.
In fact, I'd argue that an articulated interior skeleton, under silicone, is going to be more expensive to produce than a fixed figure, with the same exterior media and materials, scaled twice as large.
The only break on the 1/6 would be shipping package size/cost.
They aren't showing it- and may not have even engineered it- but a revolutionary improvement to these would be articulating the skeleton in the shoulder/neck area. Something that no one has done yet, to the best of my knowledge.
No matter what they cost, all action figures now look like kid's toys once you raise the arms above mid sternum, because the shoulder to neck is fixed in place. Raising them above the head just looks silly.
If they can create a skeleton/armature that will realistically compress the shoulders and neck as the arms are raised, in addition to a seamless covering of silicone skin- that's it. They will have left every other figure maker in the dust.
