Character skins are a huge undertaking. Huge. Like $100,000 huge.

If you're using the term "skins" as separate models and unique animations and armour graphics, then yes it would be very expensive.

However, that is not what a "skin" is technically. Technically they could just add a few new faces, allow the player to modify the size, weight, and skin tone. If so you're talking about A LOT less money. A few weeks worth of work at most for a decent designer. Source: I'm a designer.
