Related to my other question... why do you buy what you buy?

If it's shiny, I want it

Shiny... want.

Well, almost. I generally like models better that are not too bulky or that don not look comic-like. I detest models that are supposed to be in action pose but end up looking static.  Pet peeve: the good old left-foot/left-arm-forward position. We are talking humans not camels!

For fantasy models I'm a fan of "fantasy-realism" (if such a thing exists). So no swords that weigh a ton, armor so bulky people couldn't even think of moving their arms, overly ornamental armor that would make fighting near impossible etc.
