I prefer to put the stickers on since I also feel they look naked without the. However if you are going to put them on wipe the areas with a warm soapy rag a couple of times and then a clean one with only water then dry. This will remove any mold release residue allowing the stickers to adhere better. Also when applying them use tweezers to take them off the sticker sheet and align the nice and straight. I hope this helps with your decision.

You might as well put them on at least Prime, if you think he looks naked without them. Even if they do come off, the figures shouldn't look worse than they did without the stickers.

Go for it, with them being Encores the stickers are fresh. If you were dealing with G1's or even some of the older reissues I would advise against it. I made the mistake of attempting to apply the stickers to my boxed G1 Skygarry and they utterly failed. I'm hoping Reprolabels will do a Skygarry set someday so I can correct this.

Yeah, put the stickers on. I only do some of them, just the ones that make it look good. For example, I left the ones off Prime's forearms, but I did most of the other ones.

On my Sky Garry only the smaller stickers, and the one going on a curved or angled surface were problematic. Otherwise no real problems.

I always put the stickers on. I think it does help to enhance the toy, especially if you intend to 'play' or 'display' them.

I always put the stickers on. All of them. I quite enjoy it.
