My reasoning is different... while yes, he's resolute and that adds to his appeal, its more his look that caught my attention. I feel he's more "hi tech" looking and adds to the different outfits my SE can wear. This SE is in my top 3 favorites, right next to "Black Ops", and the RoC motorcycle version (with the trenchcoat version's head).

I will not pay more than retail for him tho and right now he's in all the stores here, so I paid 5.99 for both of mine.
