I have 6 gray and silver Warmachine armors already at this point. I'm not heartbroken that this one isn't ALSO gray and silver. I think it looks good both ways, but even if the choice were presented, I think the blue and red are a nice change of pace. I like variety.
Some people out there only collect 1 version of each character, and so I understand the idea that this might be a disappointment for those wanting it to be their "one warmachine." But Hot Toys did put out five previous figures of Warmachine that meet that criteria for those collectors.

That's a good way of looking at it. To be honest, I'm not that upset by the color scheme - I've got the first Iron Patriot, which IMO from a movie standpoint is more iconic. So for me, this one's being blue & red removes the temptation to get it. Given I've got the Mark IV coming this year, I'd have a hard time justifying dropping another $400+ on this character, especially with everything else I have on order / plan to order.
