I've been hard at work too, making sets for some more obscure G1 gems, namely the Micromaster Sportscar Patrol:

...and a set for Action Master Gutcruncher, based on the original stickers, but with more chrome:

Probably still working on it since it hasn't been that long since he was released. Probably in the next update I would say.

c'mon Reprolabels

and don't say its outdated because g1 are like 25 oudated and still have new sets for them
its and amazing figure, its a shame its underrated
and really needs some details

Personally no amount of AWESOME Repro-labels for DOTM $29.99 Human alliance Leadfoot or deluxe Leadfoot,can erase the horrible designed+engineered toy. example: it's equivelant to dipping a penny in gold. it's just gold plated,the cheap 1 Cent penny is still underneath the gold platting.

actually the drift set is really sweet
an the not-insecticon ones
but i dont care about the leadfoot since i dont like sponsored cars(i like leadfoot as simple as it originally is)

Id love to know how they go about creating these sets. How do they measure areas, how do they create a sticker that is designed to fit a curved surface so that it lines up? Is it hit and miss or do they have some sort of nuclear powered laser measuring device?

oh man that drift set is awesome! =P~

Have now ordered the set for the FP Insecticons, Drift and Reflector. Looking forward to some sticker applying fun, keeps me quiet for a while.

I've always thought Drift looked a bit plain on the top but this rectifies this problem. I'll definitely be getting that set.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what are Reprolabels' stickers like? Do they stay on the figures well or peel off after a while?

News Credits: 1 · Tue Nov 22, 2011 9:02 am

I have to say the Drift set looks awesome as does Kickback i'm buying these 2 sets. I hope the sword stickers won't peal off from being sheathed constanly

I've had some figures with reprolabels on them for over 5 years and the only set I have had issues with is the Hydra set for the Binaltech RX8s. Its printed on clear stock which is a little more rigid that the white and some thin stickers didnt stick too well to a curved surface so after a while I just removed the offending stickers.. Other than that, no problems.

I might have to get that Drift set, although $12 is a bit steep.

GLORIOUS!! My order will be placed TO-freakin'DAY! BAM!

EDIT- Just noticed the Colombian flag on the roof. As a Colombian, I was really hoping they'd get that in there. Reprolabels just plain rules.

WOW Drift looks soooooooo good and im so glad they chromed Kickbacks wings.

Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:36 pm

(expletive)! I just ordered from Reprolabels last week! If I'd known they would have a drift set out now I'd have waited. :BANG_HEAD:

The Drift set is pretty cool. I wouldn't use some of the ones on the hood, but the rest looks sweet. I'd worry about the sword labels getting ruined when you sheath them though.

Liking the Wreckers upgrade sets too. Too bad I don't have a lot of money to burn on these sets. Reprolabels seem to be getting more expensive...

Tue Nov 22, 2011 4:34 pm

Definitely getting the insecticon sets. Really bring back the look of the originals

Cheers for the input. Might just go ahead and order myself some.

I was really hoping that there would be a set for the DOTM repaint of Voyager Ratchet. It seems like he should be pretty easy to do, since they're already made three sets for that mold. He really needs some stickers. Oh well, Drift looks absolutely amazing. The stickers combined with the modifications I've made should make for an awesome figure.

I know it's a long shot, but I would love to see an upgrade for DOTM Topspin that makes him look more like his G1 counterpart.

News Credits: 2 · Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:54 am

Too me, i think no matter how many stickers it takes to improve ANY DOTM figures, they'll still bland and cheap looking. yeah im mean there are very few winners in this line up, but most are meh.

Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:12 pm

i think its mostly because the lack of paint applications in the figures, that is what bothered people the most other than the size, but there are some later figures with nice paintings
