Slight disappointment with Encore Soundblaster

Postby Trikeboy » Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:12 pm

Ok, so I just got my newest Encore, which I bought mainly for the tapes if I'm honest and something about it really disappointed me. All the stickers were pre applied. I'm not saying having them on the toy is bad, it's just that they robbed me of the fun of putting them on myself. I only put stickers on my G1 toys and I was looking forward to doing that again. Sadly, my extra fun was gone. Does anyone know if Twincast is the same?

There are very few if any stickers on either toy. Most of the details are tampographed.

I don't see any stickers on Soundblaster and Twincast has rub sign. The Scorponok and Fortmax on the cassettes are stickers as well as the rub signs.

Hahaha, i don't know what it is about G1 bots, I love putting stickers on them. The trick to good placement is to put the sticker on a thin flat surface such as the end of a small screwdriver so you can better position it then use another to stick it down. Pre-applied just robs the fun of the old toys. It was part of the experience.

The Encore Twincast has his factory labels applied (shoulders, hips, knees and feet) and Autobot symbol painted on his chest. I'm not aware if the original issue had the peel and place style stickers.

The only labels you put on the Soundwave mold are the ones on his pseudo batteries and that meter of sorts on his right shoulder. Iirc, now its all been stamped graphed. Blaster didn't have any labels to apply in the first place.

I'm with ya there. I really enjoy applying stickers aw well.
As mentioned already, i don't think there is stickers for Soundwave to be applied other than the factory applied ones.

When it comes to G1 and Reissue, I myself prefer the sticker sheet as well. Remind me the good time of the 80s putting those stickers :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN:

But for newer lines, I prefer tampograph.
