It's not really fair to use him as an example, he's not the norm, for some reason people just want to pay a ton of money for his stuff. Good advertising I guess?
Anyway, don't expect too much at first, but eventually you should be able to charge $100+ with no problem, assuming you get really good at it. People who pay a ton of money for a custom toy usually don't care what the cost is when commissioning a figure. It's like people shopping in Beverly Hills or extremely expensive stores, they don't care what the price tag is or how little they need it, just as long as they get something they like.
