babywave

slap in the face to the designer

For as much as people seem to like "Babywave"...is anyone actually considering changing their Tit. Soundwave over to that thing? I seem to remember the general buzz being mostly two-sided: either people hated him and didn't buy him, or they liked him and got him. Would the people who actually liked him be willing to sacrifice him for "Rattybat"?

So, can we be expecting a Sinestro set for Dirge? (I'm serious XD) as well as a cool Green Lantern set for Prowl (I got this idea from someone's sig, can't remember whom)

Oh, and who is Rattybat?

<a href="http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php?id=515&size=0&start=0">Ratbat</a> is just another one of Soundwave's tapes.

So wrong. Yet hilarious.

Indeed. That design was just so... so... well, I'm hoping people were fired over that is what I'm saying.

I never thought in a million years that someone could merely add STICKERS to that half-assedly designed piece of garbage to make me want to buy one.

But, such is the nature of Reprolabels.

It's amazing how Reprolabels can completely change the look of a figure by just a few stickers. Take the Reprolabel <a href="http://reprolabels.com/Binaltech/Binaltech/Mapaltwheeljack.jpg">Alt Wheeljack</a> for example. Just using the stickers to cover up the blue racing stripes, he totally looks like a different car and very G1 might I add. If I didn't already love the white with blue racing stripes color scheme I'd consider doing this. Just an awesome conversion that I'll likely have to buy a second Wheeljack to do, just like when I bought a second Alt Jazz to do his G1 reprolabel look.

Wouldn't it be great (and pretty damn smart) if Hasbro were to have on their website a place for anybody to scribble on, redesigning base models that would then be converted into an image they could make stickers off of?

What do you think? Would it lead to kids and fans buying multiples of the same characters?

Personally, I'm not sure, though I'm leaning to "yes".

It'd surely be intelligent to give such an idea at LEAST a test run.

Even if it were an unpopular failure, there might just be some important design data to be had in seeing what fans think is cool.

I like Reprolabels, but this Babywave mod is gross.

No, gross would be if Reprolabels produced a limited run of "full diaper variant" Babywave.
