I had to take the master cheif out of the tank yesterday i noticed that some of the gold on the visor was starting to flake off. The gold is like a decal and started to peel and i figured when i put it in that it would not be a permament decoration so it was fun for a couple weeks anyway.The devils are still in good condition and no weird toxic problems that i can tell so back on the entertainment stand it is for the master cheif less a little visor gold maybe a spot as big as a thumb nail no big deal.
