Just as the title says, I'd like to know about these figures... why are they popular and how/why do a set of 7 tiny figures cost 50, 60 or even 70 USD?

Here are some:
“Cup no Fuchiko” was planned and designed by manga artist Katsuki Tanaka. She was born into the world as a capsule toy, and in the blink of an eye, she became a big hit with 1.3 million being sold. It seems there are many in Japan who want to be soothed by this tiny girl.

And another:
This strange, yet cute female figure is from the capsule toy makers Kitan Club who produce capsule toys different from the everyday variety, including dogeza figures and more! Cup no Fuchiko was designed by Katsuki Tanaka, a
manga artist with cult-like popularity. You can hang this cute figure from the brim of your cup! Right now, these figures are hugely popular in Japan!

Manga is the keyword here. Maybe we should wait an answer from
