Not the rarest or the most expensive, but the best looking ones.

in no order - yes to all bolded, but add FS Snow White, HMV The Avengers, The Worlds End (just great imagery more than finish/style of steel) and Cloverfield (nice damage effect)
though the clear number one should be Taiwan's(and did Korea also sell this? I know it was available in 2 countries) The Lion King...or this (easily the nicest steel I own, by far.) The emboss/debossment alone is stunning.
Yes, there is a Korean Lion King steel as well. That's the one that I have.
Here's my top 10 (also in no particular order):
- Lion King (Korea/Taiwan)
- Oz (Blufans)
- Wreck it Ralph (Blufans)
- Thor (UK)
- Captain America (UK)
- Iron Man (FS)
- Little Mermaid (UK)
- Transformers ROTF (FS)
- 10,000 BC crackle lacquer (DE)

Now this would overload the website I think!
Haha, yeah that's probably true, it would probably have the same effect on the forum that bees do on Nicolas Cage.
