    POM

    So it's a harder type like ABS that has more (and excuse me for this, it's no pun) plasticity? I virtually rule out all the parts that I think were POMs now since apparently now it's "unpaintable" and I'm to assume it's just the matte plastic stuff in high tension areas. If it were paintable I'd assume that, say, the feet parts on Vf-25 (that aren't diecast), the double hinge for the torso to swing up for humanoid mode, and the leg tendon thingies and the gray upper arms are POM.

    POM

    I just want to say one word to you, just one word. Are you listening? Plastics. Anyway, I'm not quite sure how to tell the difference between this plastic and that plastic after I was snooping around some reviews and noticed POM mentioned. I know PVC is the half way rubbery bendy stuff, ABS is the really hard stuff that cracks instead of bends, but what is POM? I can't believe I never knew what the hell it was! I have a couple of Busou Shinkis and a Yamato YF-19 that I know have POM somewhere in them. Can anyone who is familiar with this type of plastic sort of point it out to me on these and maybe tell me how I can better recognize it in the future?
