I originally thought that I'd be ok with my 2012 Avengers-branded non-diecast HT Iron Man Mark VI, but after seeing comparison pictures, I almost wished I had sold off mine at a premium years ago and now had that... but I can't justify any more Hot Toys at this point. The only exception that I'll make is if they ever release a Hot Toys Cyborg Ninja from MGS1.
And the Metal Build 00 Qan[T] is awesome. A tad more fragile than my other MBs because of the Full Burst mode and stuff, but he looks phenomenal with all the panels open.

Jealous of the KR Gaim SICs. I have just Gaim, and he's amazing. Almost makes me want to get the rest of the them...

Been meaning to get a 1/48 sometime, just for the sheer imposing size... but my backlog is so huge that I'm not bothering for now.
My haul for today:
-
Metal Build Arbalest ver.IV [
MISB, from
Tokyo Otaku Mode]
Finally have the Arbalest! The Levaetein has been waiting for its "brother" for a LONG while! I've always wondered why they keep releasing the Levaetein before the Arbalest...
[rant incoming]
I missed out on the initial preorders at the usual Japanese retailers, so based on a comment on TFW, I preordered from Tokyo Otaku Mode because they had "get $24 in store credit and free shipping".
Six months later, multiple problems:
1) Tokyo Otaku Mode, being in the US, was getting their stock at least a month after the JP retailers;
2) Most JP retailers had extras of the Arbalest after it came out, so it could've been bought normally;
3) The $24 in store credit that I got there
actually expires, unless you keep buying from them on a regular basis. So I frantically searched their site for something that I can use the credit on, but...
4) ... shipping is only free starting from $150, and actually paying for shipping was insane ($24US shipping on $28US worth of merchandise?), and
5) way too much of their listings are still "preorders", even kits and toys that have been available here locally in a small Montreal hobby-shop for months. Ended up finding a HGBF kit and an option set, and essentially gave myself "free shipping" with the store credit, just to use it up.
6) And to put salt on the wound, I got nailed on customs on the Arbalest for $53.
