I wondered that too, but it appears its so you have the option of whatever "type" of Autobot insignia you'd like.

Honestly I hyped up the Roddy Prime set in my head, and I'm a little let down. Not that it's bad, just.. iunno :-?

oh i see it's something to do with the IDW symbols of that obnoxiousl and pointy Rodimus they have (and is used in the extra symbols in this set)

The ones that have me most confused are the black parts at the base of Snarl's plates. Just what are they accurate to? I don't recall that on the original toy, cartoon, or Marvel comic (though I didn't always put labels on my toys if I didn't like them: the chest stickers for the Aerialbots and Protectabots for example).

Not that I buy most Toyhax sets anyway (just the occasional huge batch every sale or so), but the Rodimus one is so 'meh' that it has me hoping they'll also do straight up replacement sets for the POTP official factory stickers, as mine are already starting to peel a tad from transformation.

another update, and still no Star Seeker faction symbol stickers.

Or sets for G1 figures that haven't got sets yet.

I might have to buy Tailgate now, that sticker set looks really nice. Also a little tempted to get the set for the masked RID Windblade, that figure is surprisingly good. SS Thundercracker into G2 Dreadwing makes we reconsider not wanting that figure. I also never realized Pounce and Banzai-tron's guns are based on the same design.

the only POTP set that stands out is the one for Optimus Prime

Am I the only one who think these Elita-1 stickers are terrible ?

Hasbro ones were quite bad on my opinion, too large and covering all sculpted details. I was hoping a lot from Toyhax, but they managed to do worse, with even more large stickers, covering even more surface, with a useless deco which is trying to cover the fact the toy is red and no pink..

I don't get it.

I know, but it's ridiculous. What's the next step, stickers with fake wheels to pretend it's a car and not a plane ?

Stickers should complete the mold/sculpt, not cover them.

It's a thing since G1, you know. So many G1 toys that I applied stickers to and the stickers do cover lots of intricate molding details. Details that often were different or even better than the stickers.

As for sets like Elita's those are meant to make the thing into either a different character, or a different version of a character. So it's justified. If you only want to enhance the existing mold without covering too much, just use part of the sheet and keep the rest for a custom. I did that often without regrets.

Recently got an order in from Reprolabels.... I'm feelin a little like the honeymoons over >:oP

It took a friggin MONTH to get here. And I'm getting less and less impressed with their plastic pieces. I preemptively bought a set for the Carry reissue, and the van spoiler piece is pretty ratchet.

The quality of plastic doesn't feel great (as per usual, is it 3D printed?) and it looks like the tip was lightly chewed by a dog. I'm torn between asking for a new one and trying to sand it myself :-?

A month for me would be normal, you're in the same bloody country, that's not right.

I wish Elita-1 had a sticker set which was meant to replace/complement the pre-existing look for Jet!Elita-1 as opposed to trying to make her more like the pink car G1!Elita-1. I'm quite fond of her Macross-esque jet colors.

News Credits: 95 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sun May 27, 2018 3:19 pm

Jesus faux-king Christ, Shaj, this is BAD. #-o

Let's hope it's a one shot thing because the Action Master Optimus Prime upgrade was perfect. This... thing is an insult.

Exactly. We're on the same page.

Forgot about the AM Prime set, it was ok. This spoiler and the TR Galvatron helmet were pretty bad though. #-o

Would anyone be up for or interested in a scrap exchange?

I buy a lot of sets where I use only part of the set, often times leaving some of the more major details to waste. I'd be happy to trade or even sell some of that stuff.

For instance, I have the TR Blitzwing set and did not use the large wing stickers. Or the PotP Rodimus set, where I will not be using the chest stickers.

I may try and sort through to see what I have and take pictures.

This is a GREAT idea. Many customisers like me get sets only to make random customs, often using stickers that are not intended for the figures. I can make it work beautifully, if I'm allowed to brag.

I guess i gotta wait at least another month for Studio Prime stickers. Is cool.

I'm waiting for the stickers to turn Inferno into Cab. There is already a part available on shapeways to turn him into a headmaster.

I'd totally dig some Artfire stickers personally.
