Arargh! While the wizard set leaves something to be desired (can any Classic
Castle fan honestly say that they DON’T have enough Majisto ‘figs?!) the other
set I like for the helmet and armor.
While I love the new burnished/polished/brushed steel look for the armor and
helmets, TLG seriously needs to make up their mind as to what color/mixture will
be used to represent metal! Meaning that I REALLY LIKE the way the armor and
helmet are done, but I’m not so keen on the squishy plastic in the sword and the
mixture used for the armor in sets like this:
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2587px17
It’s listed as Pearl Light Gray in one inventory, and Medium Stone in another
(BOTH are Pearl Light Gray, BTW).
Hey TLG, remember the whole “halving the color palette” idea? Let’s start here.
You’ve got so many colors of silver out there that even our big inventory
uber-sorters can’t tell ‘em apart!
I don’t care much for the Pearl Light Gray as it’s not very opaque, which oft
makes armor look wimpy. The opaque style that’s shiny and glossy and not opaque
really rocks, especially in armor and helms and weapons! We need an armory
battle pack packed with that!
