Just thinking while I'm typing, here, but would adding "prismatic" as the metallic equivalent of "full color" make sense? Not necessarily to be used as its own color, but in addition to another metallic color? Say, marking something like regular She-Ra's crown as being chrome/silver and prismatic, or Bubble Power She-Ra's crown as metallic pink and prismatic?Well, easy enough to add something like that. Tell ya what, let me know when it comes up, and we'll give it a shot.

There are already a handful of PoP toys with prismatic stickers or cloth, so I guess now's as good a time to experiment as any.
How about we just stick with what we have? If we have a figure that is actually black, grey, and white, I wouldn't want it described as "greyscale".MIKEengledogg
Greyscale, as spliff is talking about, should only apply to printed materials such as instructions, cards, catalogs, etc. It would not apply to a figure.

That was my intent when I brought it up Shmax ol' pal
This is the part I just did that made me think of it initially. Is it safe to edit it now quick to Grayscale, or should I wait for you to do your script magic?http://www.shmax.com/modify_part/41456/instructions_battle_mask_faceTypically, I've always added parts and gray, black and white when they're like this. Maybe finding all items called "instructions" with that color combo would be useful as well?
