These are chromed toys, or "vacuumized metal" as the term goes. They were done at the same factory that made the Canadian Joe Convention HATE tank from 2009. I was a member of the CJC team for years. In fact, this year I was responsible for all the dye work on the figures and part swapping, painted 6 of the 8 bodies and one of the heads.
I'm no longer with the CJC, but I like to use some of the skills I picked with my time there to make cool looking toys. This is a fully playable, factory produced toy. No paint to chip away. If you took a knife or sand paper to it then sure, you could take off the chrome, but that's not likely to happen. I think it's pretty cool looking. BTW, I'm still new on Hiss Tank but I think it's mighty cool of you guys to post my custom on the front page. Thanks for that. Makes me feel good about my work.
