I may be wrong here, but I wondered how much would cost a license to produce an official prop replica? Maybe for 500 pieces?

It would depend on the company, and if they are even willing to license whatever the IP is that you would be using.
The number of replicas you produce is irrelevant to the cost of the license.
From what I've heard over the years from RPFers who 'hit it big' and started producing licensed replicas had to pay at least a few hundred thousand dollars for the rights, and some much, much more.
Depending on the Studio and franchise could go up to a Million easily.
Some advice from a former Licensee, The Studios and the Lawyers get their money first and you as the Licensee last.

Ok thanks! But how comes a company releases a licensed bust with a 500 pieces edition and sell it for about USD 20.- or less each (wholesale)?James Kenobi 1138 said:
