Reprolabels Update: Classics TIgertrack, Plus A Lot More!

Wow, that Hound & Ravage set looks really sharp! It ALMOST made me regret my decision to go with Henkei Hound. Almost. Then I found a gallery of Henkei Hound and I changed my mind. Now I can't wait for my Pile o' Loot to get here! Also really want a G1 Hound now. Still, the label set looks really, really nice, especially the gold stripes, and it might be worth picking up just for the Ravage details.

Cyclonus benefits much less from his set, but I love the chrome detail for Nightstick. I don't think I want to spend the money just for that though.

Tigertracks looks very strange to me-too 70's retro-not my cup of tea. I like the concept of him (and Patriot) though.

I may do one of my Cyclonus figures in the reprolabels just for nostalgia sake.

Hound and Ravage aren't too bad. Isn't Hound supposed to have two army stars in the front?

Cylonus doesn't look good with those stickers. The figure is so great, it doesn't need stickers.

Tigertracks looks really bad (no offense), and the 'Patriot' set seems marketed towards the people who buy the Tigertracks and want something to do with the leftover parts...

I really like the Hound set. The stickers really zazz up Ravage.

Big pass on the Cyclonus set though...

I don't think that the Classics Tigertracks needs any stickers. Just the head, and parts swap.

I agree that the stickers for Ravage are excellent. I need to check out Brawn to see if they help him.

The Hound/Ravage set looks great. Love the look of the Canada and Japan Patriot stickers (the US set is just too "busy" looking) and I agree that they should have done a UK set.
The Tigertracks sticker set reminds me too much of the mid-to-late '70's to early '80's air brushed vans (wizards, bears and scantily clad women and barbarians). Kinda hard to repress bad memories when stuff like that keeps jogging them.
Everything else looked pretty good. Liked the set for Brawn, only problem is I can't find a Brawn figure at any of the stores near me.

I think Tigertrack looks fine without the white piece, myself. But the needing to reverse arms and all is still true.

That Hound/Ravage set is really sweet, adds some much needed detail to an otherwise already good figure. And Patriot is a good use of those leftover kitbash bits. The hood tiger face and roof stripes are okay for Tigertrack, but the claw marks on the doors is silly. I'd gone for more stripe patterns or something.

Dangit, if I hadn't JUST ordered some stuff... oh well, next time.

Totally agree.

and if anyone wants to ruin their awesome red Sunstreaker, AKA Spinout, with stickers...then 'boo' to you.

(Not Bu-urns either! Boooooooo!)

Spinout, is that an official name? :p

D'oh, I placed an order just the other day... Even though I have Henkei Hound who is perfect I'd still like that set for the Ravage stickers, too bad they aren't availble seperately.

The Japan Patriot looks wicked.
