I would like to introduce you to The Crafsman on YouTube. He covers the questions in your last paragraph, specifically for small runs and low budget. Even lower budget than you're thinking, so it's a perfect starting point. Plus he's a hell of a lot of fun to listen to and the production quality is too sweet. Start here: [0] Making silicon molds [1] Cheap plastic injection molding using silicon molds + metal casing [2] Making a complex toy with DIY injection molding [3] Bonus: the best dubbing of a classic Star Wars scene you've ever seen. Enjoy! And keep on steady craftin'.
