>>5856317>Die-cast metal has a higher melting temperature than plastic- not all metal melts at the same temperature, but you still need a LOT more energy to melt a lump of white metal than a lump of plastic.No shit? It's like i didn't already explain to you that molds for plastic and metals have different tolerances and are made to withstand different temperatures and pressures....
>>What is durability? stability?Those are shit trade offs, considering toys are already durable as fuck and the fact we are talking about stands. It's not worth the price increase, the loss in detail, paint chipping off easily, the joints wearing out faster from needing to support the weight, etc etc.
>And guess what, they aren't slathered with ridiculously thick layers of detail-obscuring paintYou're full of shit. Again, i point to any company and toy that uses diecast and plastic on the same figure. The diecast pieces always have thicker paint, and when the diecast and plastic pieces are next to each other you can tell at a glance the difference. I'm actually puzzled why you need to refer to a friend to know this shit. You don't own anything that has diecast and plastic?
>most Japanese companies worth a damn know This is a "no true scotsman fallacy" It's basically just a way for you to ignore other examples and facts because. Sorta like what you did with saying Hasbro doesn't know how to use diecast, or Mattel or Galoob. Mattel themselves do make great quality diecast stuff aimed at collectors.
>But that's wrong you fucking retard.LOL, yeah, let's ignore that it actually CUTS THE COST by thousands of dollars.
Let's ignore paint chips off easier.
Let's ignore the fact the extra weight will cause joints to wear out faster.
Let's ignore the fact that detail can't be as fine.
Let's ignore the fact that paint needs to be thicker, and you even brought up the fact that plastic itself doesn't need to be painted
>Makes the toy feel cool as fuck>muh feels!!!
