43mm Tiki Kings from BrPro (1 Viewer)

[EpicAS]

Just wondering if anyone has ever made a set of 43mm Tiki king chips? And if yes are you able to share some pics/pron?

Also, how does the 43mm chips from BrPro feel compared to their 39mm line? (not the textured blanks)

I don't have Tikis, but I have 43mm DDLMs and I'm never looking back. For me, ceramic means 43mm or bust.

Texture-wise, they feel identical to my 39mm NVJs from BRP.

Ohhh interesting! I thought the 43mm blanks were smooth (like the Tikis) and the NVJ chips were textured.

I'd have to double check when I get home. I have some 43 mm blanks that are definitely smoother than my DDLMs. It's possible that the full custom was made on a more textured blank, but I didn't think that BR pro had multiple non-chipco 43 mm blanks.

There are 3 Nevada Jacks stock designs - Skulls, Desert Sands & Saloon Series. These are all printed on the textured Nevada Jacks blanks. All other designs are done on our ABC (smooth) blanks.

The 43 mm Tikis have arrived .
On time no less .
I had a sample set of 39mm tikis to do the comparison.
They feel 4 mm bigger than the 39 mm version. All other surfaces textures feel the same .

As expected, the edge spots are not aligned. However, unexpected, but greatly appreciated, the front and back art work have y axis symmetry. So if you flip the chip left to right or vice versa, the artwork is aligned the same way. This was not true on my 39mm samples .

I noticed the color saturation of the 43mm was lower than my sample set . I have no idea if this is due to the size difference or the fact that it's 5 years later and process and materials can change . At first was a little bummed as both are way less saturated than my cpcs . Put the. I noticed in the pic that the 43mm pop way more under the table light. So I actually like that.

I don't think there's a clear "way better" chip sizing.. but the 39mm ceramics were about 0.2 mm smaller than my cpcs and felt like needed to have the larger size to stand up visually.
Also 43 mm weight is satisfying ..little heavier than cpcs but subtle.

I'll say the super slick edges are a way different feel than find it more difficult to manipulate. However. This is out of the box. I'll get them into a half dozen games and see how the break in.

I believe the tiki's are printed on a different printer than customs as well, and may have slight color differences than customs.

All I can say is that my experience with the process of design and order was wonderful with br pro

I did a few sets of 43 mm and even one of the chips in 47mm
