The entire iconography of the series is built around chrome, I honestly didn't even know they made toys for this show until a couple of years ago and even I knew these dudes were chrome, just stop saying the chrome is a toy invention



Am I nuts? I'm not the only one who reads something like this and feels intense loathing, am I? Is it the illustrator in me that knows what drawn chrome looks like?

I mean he did explicitly explain, again, why they can't vac metal the figure because of articulation and plastics used and how the paint is going to look more metallic in production. Later on he says they'll most likely do vac metal Reaction because they're much, much simpler figures.

There's a difference between metallic and just being chromed out. There's literally no way they can do vac metal for fully articulated figures so I don't know why that's even a problem. Sorry you want chrome, but they just can't make the figures that way.
