The dubbing factors into the costs greatly. That's why 13 episodes of a 25-minutes-per-episode series is around 60 dollars. Not to mention costs related to the bandanna and extras they're giving us. Just licensing it costs cash. Plus we must remember how large the Hetalia cast is. So, you're getting a really good deal with 30 bucks.

As for the heights, I'll agree that they're short, but I tend to just ignore them. They don't factor into the series at least and probably are just averages. Has Himaruya done anything with them recently?

Part of it might just be me...I'm about 5'8, so that's around 173 centimeters. I don't know if that's above average or average for an American female, though.
