    And I told you it didn't but still they rambled on about the original

    I don't know why it's so hard for people to read

    Wow!! Deathsaurus really let himself go.

    I'm not sure how I will have him displayed. I don't even have a spot for Victory Saber yet. He's just hanging out on my dresser at the moment.

    Tiger Chest has chrome on him, that has been known since the colored prototype was revealed

    Chrome actually is metal.

    So the chrome on Deathsauras is planned to be vac-metal chrome and not heat stamped like on VS. This means it should be much more durable and won’t chip unless you take sand paper to it and go to town.

    Ah! Thank you! Glad to hear it. What on Earth possessed them to do it the wrong way, to begin with?!

    On VS the parts that have chrome aren’t completely chrome. It is a small area on the plastic that needed chrome so I don’t think the vac-metal process was possible unless they made those shiny symbols on Star Saber’s and Victory Leo’s chest separate pieces that snapped into place. If they were separate pieces I could see that leading to breaking pieces since those areas are small and separate in half on both figures. With Tiger Chest it’s “wings” are big separate pieces that can be vac metal chrome which involves spraying the whole pieces with an aluminum vapor at once.

    You can only vac-metal whole parts.

    Stamped foil is how they always do topical applications like on Star Saber. Production bottlenecks probably resulted in not enough care being taken with that step as should have been.

    Then are concerns would now be finger prints on those wing things. And half of his dragon skull.


    VC....Victory Cat?:lol 

    Being a never satisfied hume, can we dream on having an alternative face for Dezaras? Evil smirk face, neutral and open mouth/ MP Megs style laugh?

    Got spoiled with MP Skyfire that is.
