Definition of die cast toy
In the production of die-cast toys, not only plastic is used, and real metal is also used in them. And that is why these toys are heavier than toys that are purely plastic.

And the only drawback is the increase in the price of toys. Some Transformers toys have plastic bodies, but some parts are made of metal.
