My problem with Di-Cast was mostly how when it connected to less-strong plastic, something had to give, and usually did for me. Also, I never had the paint stay on long-term. It's why when I was looking at the Chogokin Big O, I realized between the metal and the cost it wasn't for me, and I just got the Moderoid kit for my monster-city diorama shelf. Worked great! I did want the Chogokin MechaGodzilla for the same thing, except in that case it was entirely cost that made me skip it. It was nearly $350...amazing lightup effects, though.
