Re: Hasbro scared of chrome parts???

Henkei suck. The chrome is random and ugly and the paint decos are bland and uninteresting. Frankly, unless Chrome is done right and made an actual part of the colour pallette, I would rather they just not use it.

Aernaroth can give us a detailed reason at why chrome fails.

Re: Hasbro scared of chrome parts???

The reason as I understand it, is because of safety concerns and quality control. The process the the plastic has to go through to give it the chrome look makes it very brittle, and as mentioned by others here it flakes off and scratches very easily. Personally I don't miss it.

No hasbro movie Tfs had chrome. No mass-release ones. Premium only had silver and "shiny" paint. Takara premium Prime had lots of chrome.
