Diecast adds weight to the figure. It can help
to redistribut weight more appropriately,
which creares good balance on the figure.
Thus it can stand on its own better when
posing.
THIS , also when will people realize that the diecast has nothing to do with the price hike? It could be totally plastic and HT would still find a way to charge the same. Just think its moronic how people are always saying if only it werent diecast it would lower the price some, dont be so sure.
