I get the appeal of real metal on a toy that's supposed to be made of metal, but diecast is a cost cutting material/process and plastic actually holds better detail. Also painted diecast is prone to having paint flaking off.
So you generally see companies who do make quality diecast toys, like Eaglemoss, using plastic for parts that are supposedly to be highly detailed. Toys that are fully metal usually look like they're heavily coated in paint, mostly because the details are soft in the first place.
Most companies who make diecast toys do price their toys fairly, because they are cheap to make. Other times, soem companies charge a premium for their cost cutting efforts, because there's retarded collectors who believe diecast is actually expensive.
