It’s an interesting color. It has the satin sheen. It kinda has a darker center. But what is up with the purple? Check out this thing…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s satin level shiny, darkish center and purple. Why is it purple? And what is this thing anyways? Boomerang, blade, handle mustache (come on, it looks like a mustache with a handle!) Perhaps a worm… with a handle. Handle worm? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh boy, now there are more! And now the colors are off the scale. What is going on here? They are all the same parts, but now they have eyes and look like scales. Eels? With handles? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems as they eel away from the group [What do eels do? Slither? Scoot? Wiggle?] They become shiny darkish again. This is a weird color and part. Let’s try something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, a satin black inverted dish. Inverted dish? Who came up with that? Actually it’s a “dish, inverted (radar)”… WHY? Call it a radar dish and be done. Ok, whatever. Here you see a purple-ish looking UFO shape that has enough sheen to reflect the light strip above it. Apparently it was too difficult to not do that. Lets see what happens when you get a chaos shot with more of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not really seeing the darker blacks, just more like a darker purple. Odd. It doesn’t look that purple-ish in real life, just in these pics. And it would seem that it actually was too difficult to not have the light bar in the shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in satin clear-black (aka darkish purple) handle eels<\/a> and UFOs<\/a>? Find them on Bricklink. Buy a bunch and amaze your friends and family with their magical color changing properties! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
