    New Qualatex Metallics

    Has anyone seen the new metallic loons from Qualatex yet? They look great! I bet they'd make for some amazing pops as well

    Take a look!

      I think they'd be great for some home decor pieces! With the shiny look they lend themselves more to being less conspicuous just hanging around the home.

        I like the comment half way through “pliable and durable”. Perfect for looners, I can’t wait to get some of these to decorate the house for a birthday. I bet they will be hard to blow up tight as you like!

            I like the look of it but I think it'll look better in person

                  Metallics are somehow a big turn-off for me

                    I am not sure about these balloons. They just look like new metallic colors. When Qualatex announced a big announcement I was hoping for something more than just this.

                      Same here, I think it's because they're not as smooth and shiny as a 'normal' balloon. I guess that's also why crystals are my favourite!

                      Still, I might see if I can get some and give them a try

                        I also prefer crystals. I love how transparent they get once overinflated. These look nice but aren't the same.
                        How big will it go? Only one way to find out...

                          The transparency makes the balloon look all the more fragile than it already is. Metallic colors make them seem more like a beach ball, and crystals (or perfectly transparent ones) look more like soap bubbles that could pop at any instant (but with a terrifying bang). I was always more afraid of clear balloons than I was of solid colors or metallics as a kid, which I suspect is why I'm more turned on by balloons that are at least a little bit see-through (even if only when hit by the sun). Transparency also further accentuates the effect of being inflated from a soft, empty balloon into a tight, very thinly stretched balloon with a lot of scary potential energy, making it even more exciting. I also love those "neon" balloons that are mostly clear but with a soft colored tint.

                            Yeah....they look nice but i have mixed feelings....as b0f0s0f says....one of the appeals of crystals is the fragile soap bubble look. But im still curious as to how they are when it comes to a good play session

                              These in 16" would be great! If only they would make these in 24" then that'd just be tops for me haha (RIP Q24)
