Hey Guys, we are trying something new here.

We've got some new colour options and we want to see how well they are received. If you like them... we will make them. If you don't... then we won't (Bah I should have been a poet not an Engineer... ;) )

Please vote in the poll!

First off is Pearlescent! This is white pearl. We could also possibly do other pearl colours. You can't see inside these loaders, just through the clear lid.

Next we have WHITE! Storm troopers here we come! This was hard to photo so I took some pictures with and without flash...

So what do you think?

If you want we could do other solid colours, and we could do other pearescent colours. Post and let me know! Thanks.

would be neat if you could include some type of graphic embedded in them for some extra $$$$ .. maybe like gucci or LV design everyone thinks is soo cool..

or those dyed or a fresh shell made by you?

NOT dyed. It's part of the plastic.

I don't have anything productive to add, other than I think you should start using the AMERICAN spelling of words such as "color" now that you've been over here for a year... ;) :p

The UV-halo is on it's way... You can leave the lid open (or scratch off the chrome plating) and get an awesome glow effect. :D

yes...but a nice pearl that glows in the dark would be cool...not the UV Led Night Halo...

Pearl Red

Or a Pearl Orange to Silver...

Edit: Pearl not Perl... I can't spell tonight...

Looks nice!

Er... Im not sure it would be toruney legal. White paint would blend in.

I like it alot
what would be nice is a loader in a dust finish. Alot of guns are made in dust and a gloss loader just does not go right

i would be interested in either a white or a pearl. Are you selling jsut the shells, or the whole loader? this was not specified earlier so i do NOT want to assume.

I like my Smoke... :D

Maybe if you did a black like that pearl color?

Those don't look as scratchy as normal halo's, they seem to have this weird effect throughout the shell which I assume is from molding it.

blue or red pearl would be nice

I really like the pearl, but I think like a blue almost cerulean type color would look awesome!

Er... Im not sure it would be toruney legal. White paint would blend in.Shouldn't be a problem... NPPL banned pink and orange equipment becaue they reserve those colors for paint. I'm not sure of any other tournament series not allowing different colors, but I could just be out of the loop on that one.

For the Love of God Make me an ORANGE Hopper!! I'd take it in Pearl or Solid but Id rather have Solid. I have an Orange Freeflow Cocker and I find Orange parts for it about as much as I find 100$ on the ground.

also if anyone know where I can get an Orange Hopper or Freak Front please gimme a holler.

Tournament players generally will use what the NPPL wants them to use, even if they don't play in an official NPPL circuit themselves. I wouldn't hold my breath for anything orange or pink from any major company directed towards tourney players.

US-English does not exist. We will inform Microsoft on your behalf.

Those Pearl colours are fantastic! Really like them, better than just plain white :clap:

BUT,

Nice gun! Alas the shells may never be available, this is just to gauge public opinion... All I have here are samples.
