Just received the add on parts for Prowl and Laserbeak. I have not applied any stickers yet, just wanted to show off a couple of pictures first.

UPDATE!

So I applied most of the stickers to Prowl. Have to say not bad! For Laserbeak, not too bad, may add some paint to his blasters to highlight them. I need to take a better photo of Laserbeak, i will add that tomorrow. Overall not bad! In addition, I added the stickers to Ravage but he is in cassette mode inside Soundwave.

Presenting Toyhax's July 2019 release!

We'll begin with this month's heavy hitter, our set for Siege Jetfire! Our blend of greeble, G1 and Macross styled details does this figure wonders:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2791-label ... tfire.html

Did you like our upgrades for Siege Starsceram? Thundercracker and Red Wing now sport the same kind of additions:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2793-label ... acker.html
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2794-label ... -wing.html

Siege Red Alert looks like a good old fashioned futuristic Lambo fire chief car:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2790-label ... alert.html

Siege Galaxy Optimus Prime new labels look like they should have been there all along:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2792-label ... prime.html

With a lack of reference material, some of the female Autobots have been difficult to work on. We think we pulled it off well with Greenlight:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2804-label ... trike.html

G2 Swoop inspired labels for Pteraxadon, and some much needed color breaks for Aimless:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2802-label ... xadon.html

Big Powered gets some big love:
https://toyhax.com/for-classics/2795-ta ... wered.html

FT Quietus looked a little sparse, so we came up with this:
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2805-labels ... ietus.html

Throughout all of this, we're continuing work on our cel-shaded line! CW Devastator is by far our favorite of the new editions:
https://toyhax.com/for-comb-wars/2803-l ... r-csw.html

Plus, we've now covered UT Runman/Bluzzing, XTB Ollie, XTB Boost, BC Grump and Ace Tumbler.
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2801-labels ... n-csw.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2799-labels ... e-csw.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2797-labels ... ype-a.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2798-labels ... ype-b.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2800-labels ... p-csw.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2796-labels ... r-csw.html

Re: the Galaxy Upgrade set, G1ish Cel-shaded windows instead of white overlays for the windshield frames (and the frames of the faux windshields on the solder armor) = fail (and honestly, those feel esp. out of place on that mold). The Skyfire, Red Alert, and Greenlight sets look great, the you-know-what on the first two notwithstanding. The Aimless and Pteraxodon set is cool, adds some delightful touches.

Ironically, Red Wing is not only the best version of the Seeker mold in my opinion, but also wears the tetra fin thing better too (not that I needed one for my seekers, I prefer the battleship Galactica look).

I'm kinda iffy on Cell shades windows. I like them, but I also like regular windows so...

But Galaxy Upgrade Prime doesn't suit them at all. It would be like putting them on a Bayformer.

The rest of the sets are pretty sweet, especially Jetfire. ;)^

Cell shaded devestator may be worth giving a go, haven't combined mine yet (I've not decided how or where they are being displayed yet) but the stickers may set it out from my NBK.

When Toyhax had a 40% off sale earlier, I grabbed the Fort Max and Trypticon sets, among others. I'll post pics when they've arrived and I've applied them. Seems the discount decreased after this update, but that makes sense - they've added some neat new things

Exactly. Personally, I think that instead of the hideously out-of-place cel-sjaded windows they should have done stickers to color the cab and faux-cab window frames, and a behind-the-"glass" sticker for the chest windows that showed Cybertron Optimus' matrix compartment. They really phoned that set in.

Or just make a set that makes his arms blue. So many opportunities...

My big order arrived today! Started with Fort Max and *man* do those things need instructions. I think I did alright with the pictures on the webpage, but the numbering on later sets (pyro had it I think?) was sorely missed. Spent more time comparing window quantities and sizes than actually applying the darn things.
Didn't help that with the SDCC version half the sticker spaces were already covered by Hasbro's relatively unimpressive offerings... which I mostly left in peace since they were "premium exclusive" details

Sweet, attach some pics if you get a chance. That’s one set I have been wanting to purchase!

Anyone have thoughts on the Metroplex set? I'm thinking about purchasing it, but I'm unsure how many of the details are actually new versus how many just cover the Hasbro stickers

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Tue Aug 06, 2019 5:44 pm

Probably a late response @Latebrus-K to your post. I personally have not bought that set, kind of settled for the stickers he came with from Hasbro. Thought they are not bad, i guess it depends on what you prefer.

Having read some thoughts about the set for the Galaxy Upgrade OP, i decided to buy them along with the set for Ironhide. I am good with both, to me they had alittle touch to them. I have the set for Cog but haven’t applied them yet, with the Jetfire set coming soon. Can’t wait for that one!
Thanks for looking,

UPDATE

Just finished Cog!

Here he is with all stickers applied. Have to say this really enhances Jetfire, adding detail and color over all that white. I was planning on getting this set regardless but was able to snag it for 40% off. For my personal taste it looks awesome.

Thanks for looking,

We're ending summer with a well rounded release that hits all the bases!

Our first upgrade kit, featuring 3 tail fin accessories, makes proper tetrajets out of the Siege Rainmakers:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2807-parts ... akers.html

Siege Springer gets a brilliant set, to match the fantastic that he is:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2806-label ... inger.html

We've also got some pretty inspired sets for both Siege Brunt and Lancer:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2810-label ... ancer.html
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2811-label ... brunt.html

TR Trypticon gets his very own Chief of Engineering with this conversion set for Siege Brunt, into Deadlift:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2812-label ... dlift.html

Adding to our line of Cel-Shaded windows, we've finally covered MP Bumblebee:
https://toyhax.com/for-masterpiece/2815 ... e-csw.html

Toyhax has made a comeback with MMPR! Check out our sets for Zeo Megazord and Super Zeo Magazord:
https://toyhax.com/labels-for-mmpr/2808 ... azord.html
https://toyhax.com/labels-for-mmpr/2809 ... azord.html

There have been lots of requests for labels for ZT Kronos, we've happily obliged with this beast of a set:
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2816-labels ... ronos.html

Lastly, PE Black Jinrai gets some long awaited additions:

still no skywarp?

I decided to buy the stickers for Shockwave and Springer. My opinion, it makes them look a lot better, breaking up the solid colors and adding some detail.

SGM

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Tue Sep 10, 2019 8:28 pm

I agree with you about Shockwave, those actually look quite nice.
But I think the only sticker on Springer's sheet even quasi worth a damn is the chest one, although even that is tainted by being yellow. The greebling stickers are just as horrendously clashing and hideous and gratuitous on the SIEGE toy as they were on the original, maybe even a little moreso (Blurr and Hot Rod have the same problem). And the less said about the window stickers, the better.

Also, kill the Galaxy Upgrade Optimus sheet with fire.

On a more positive note, I like the Super Zeo Megazord sheet. It would be perfect if they made a replacement crown to go with it, but it's still a delight to have that available.

We're very excited to bring you our next ONE CENT promo set! It's the first set for the new Siege Omega, and focuses on upgrades and base details for Countdown. Act quickly, the promo price ends this weekend!

Anyone reading this should take a look at the first link for Sideswipe. There’s a reason they said “and beyond.”

I like Reprolabels/Toyhax, but i wish they would make more toy stages and offered those trimmed stages again. These 12" tall are great for Billy bookcases in width and depth but they are a little too tall. They really need to offer the trimmed versions again that are 11" for a much better fit.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Thu Oct 17, 2019 2:09 pm

Decided to purchase the set for “Refraktor”. Doesn’t look too bad, making it look more like a camera, more so for the lens parts. Anyways still not a bad set to get, if that is your preference.
