Despite how I can never afford anything beyond a single PYO a couple times a year, I would absolutely find a way to buy (at retail, not eBay prices) an Autumn Leaf Old Warrior. If that colour scheme never came out on any other sculpt but that one (ignoring the pending SKs), it wouldn’t matter a lot to me. I must have an Old Warrior in the ‘autumn’ of his life.
However, I know the other colours are much easier to produce, so for the sake of others who want one, I’d suggest going with the new Gold (with lots of shading, and lavender accents) first. He’d look pretty darn regal I think. Even more handsome than the Emperor turned out to be.
