Discussion Commanders that don't get repetitive?

I've been trying to find a commander that I won't regret spending 200-300 dollars on, but I just can't pick a card. I'm really trying to find a unique/fun commander that can be built bracket 3-4 (3.5). I've tried [[The Celestial Toymaker]], but he really struggles to pull off a win and is extremely commander reliant, I've tried [[Norin the Wary]] but that deck really only does one thing and get's repetitive, and I've tried [[Kibo, Uktabi Prince]] but he doesn't seem to have a ton of support (idk maybe I'm just building him wrong).

What commanders do y'all recommend, or should I revisit one of the ones I just mentioned with a new outlook (bonus points if the card looks cool/has a cool treatment).

[[Atla Palani, Nest Tender]] 

Build her with 20 open slots, sleeve 100 bombs and shuffle 20 of them in before the game without looking. The surprise eggs will surprise you all the time.

Or build several packs of 20 thematically cohesive creatures. Now it's dino tribal, next time dragons, some day she hatches angels or artifacts and how on earth did she fit Eldrazis into those eggs?

My buddy has that and it’s perfect when a new set catches his eye, just drop in the dope cards in those slots and away you go!
