Uh… something relevant to the topic?.. I have a blue ion exactly like that! Yeah. Weak friction, which is weird.

My malum has miscoloured hordika feet that have a darker shade of metru red, making them look slightly magenta…

What are miscolored pieces and why do they happen?
According to @LoganMcOwen these are a thing.

I’ve never heard of these before. Is it just ccbs or other legos too?
Could someone explain?

I assume it’s because they are trans, I think there is some element of randomness in their creation. Like how the gold to trans ratio on the weakened golden mask is different on all of them, at least slightly.

Miscolored pieces are pieces which had the wrong color plastic used in them. Those pieces you have there aren’t miscolored, they were used in both Kopaka and skull warrior.

They’re pieces that were colored incorrectly and accidentally place in normal lego sets. They’re quite rare and worth quite a bit.

Are those miscolors? I thought they came in the mask packs.

Except the black Ruru, which came with both versions of Hafu in 2001 and 2003.

Not sure if this counts as a miscolour, but there’s an old grey colour group from way back when, not sure why that’s a thing.
That doesn’t count; they intentionally made the grey like that…misprints refer to unintentional part colourings.
I think I mentioned this somewhere else, but for some reason two of the Hordika feet on my Malum (one normal, one webbed) are coloured a darker tint of red than regular metru red, it’s like slightly maroon

Thanks, that doesn’t make me feel old at all.

I feel it necessary to explain that the kaukau are misprints of the gold and silver kaukau.
Also I swear this was already a topic…

I have a few things just like that picture.
I just assumed they had deteriorated from the sun or something…

How do they mix up a solid colour with a trans colour? 
They don’t, that’s the plastic they used for the molds, the masks are coated in a metallic something or other.

I’ve got a rebel pilot helmet where the print is halfway across the front.
