I think the contrasting black background did something with the photos. I can't tell if the box is actually supposed to be an off-white or if it was actually supposed to be white. I had my camera on the wrong setting so all of the original photos actually have a pink tint to them. I fixed the colors in Image Ready by using the Auto-Levels feature. I think the picture below is probably closer to what color the box actually is. It is, however, a beautiful example of the box.

Awesome that you thought of scanning the label sheet.
So how apprehensive were you while putting on those labels?

LOL. I was a little worried. It seems like sometimes a piece of dust or something gets under one of the stickers so it creates a slight bump in the sticker. I kept blowing on the figure where I was going to put the sticker. I also made sure the pair of tweezers I used were perfectly cleaned and washed my hands beforehand as well. The stickers came out perfectly. Applying the stickers is somehow one of my favorite parts of the G1/G2 figures. The stickers are pretty essential to the finished look of the toy ... I just love what a difference in makes on the final product.

Huh i can just imagine Ryan at like 2am red in the face after blowing the dust of that figure for hours while he carefully applies the stickers
Nice figure though.

Yes, the box is supposed to be off-white. I asked myself the same question, but we couldn't both have a box that has some slight "yellow" while the boxart itself is perfectly white...
BTW, I always clean the area with a cotton tip before I apply stickers. Somehow I believe they stick to the surface better that way as well, as you rub off any grease that your (or someone else's) fingers might have put on the figure...
