Metallic for sure, especially like the new Skeletor. Makes the colors really pop! No pun intended

I like both.
The chrome seem more like statues to me ... which is okay.
The metallic are more "classic but enhanced" ... which makes them special ... or pop.

Honestly, I prefer Metallic (come on Funko if you're reading this do Metallic Chases) and I like Chrome for special occasion variants.
Metallic Chases are great but would be so painful to get. I did not mind one or two chromes but as many as they have made I think they played it out.

Re: Metallic or Chrome?
I say metallic, I especially like when the chase is metallic and you can compare a regular and metallic.
That being said, Chrome batmen are the best!

It really depends for me. Some metallics aren't really that distinct, but the chromes always are.

Re: Metallic or Chrome?
METALLICS! METALLIC! METALLICS!!! All the way! IMO there’s not much to the chromes. Freddy Funkos are cool. As for the rest, I’m really not into them. I’d take a metallic over a chrome any day.
Plus Funko is making too many chromes.

Metallic, but only if they cover the whole pop

I just like how the metallic ones look because you can keep the colors of the character but they still pop(lol no pun intended). Anyways just curious what you guys think?
Is it okay to find both boring? I mean I know that's NOT the question, but I seriously prefer.. color, variation over neon chromes and golds and silvers and etc... it's become boring to me.

Well with metallic you can still have color variation it just gives the pop a metallic look.

The problem with the chrome ones is it can be really difficult to get details when they are all the same color. Some of the Marvel ones are ok, but some are lacking since they are missing some distinction.

I feel like metallic is winning but I have to vote chrome. Sometimes the Metallic paint does show as nicely but chrome you can see from miles away

Re: Metallic or Chrome?
If I had to pick one, I would say metallic.
That being said, I really can't get into collecting either of them, because it reminds me of cash grabs of the 90's that went on in comic books, baseball and basically all trading cards, and toys before all those industries collapsed under the weight of their own greed while saturating the market. Foil insert cards, embossed comic covers, and the like. I spent a lot of money as a teenager buying the same thing with slight variations over and over. Those were the days. Lol

I actively dislike chrome stuff, myself. I've never liked that look on anything, really. Even Transformers, haha. I like metallic stuff a lot.
I'm just hoping I never have to have the internal discussion about getting a chrome R&M, Fallout or Doctor Who Pop

Or did you think I'd be too stupid to know what a eugoogoly was?

Now the idea of a chrome Dalek sounds amazing.

Looks like metallic it is then! Yeah, I too, prefer metallic over chrome. I mean, that metallic skeletor from the new gemini exclusive just pops with color and detail. Some pops look good in chrome like the new Thanos, but metallic all the way!

Re: Metallic or Chrome?
Definitely metallics as we get more details! When they first started doing chromes that was pretty nice as well but just too many of them now that it dilutes the uniqueness.

Metallic seems to be of better quality over the chrome so I would most definitely go with metallic.
