Toyhax February Update - Astrotrain, Crosshairs, Cromar, Hound, and More

Might have to get that gun for Gnaw, though it is generic enough to go to anyone who lacks a real weapon (Like a lot of the scout class guys).

The Crosshairs set is pretty fantastic, as is the tape set, but I'd have to find the figures first...

We need more toy stages and the trimmed need to come back. I really want to deck my IKEA Billy's and Detolf's out with these, but we need more variations, some for Star Wars, LOTR etc and a better fit.

So, awhile back when I was stationed in Virginia I had ordered the sticker set for Titans Return Galvatron. Now that I am back home in Missouri, i decided to dig through my totes and find him and finally apply the stickers to him, along with the upgrade for his head.

For myself, I am very happy about the head piece being more realistic, rather than the flip up piece he comes with. Overall, not a bad sticker set and upgrade if that is something you have been wanting to do with your TR Galvatron.

The latest two sets I purchased was, for ER Grapple and ER Zarak. Me personally a major improvement for both but hey, stickers can do that to most anything out there. Nevertheless, I really like how Grapple looks now in both modes. For ER Zarak, definitely helps out with his chest, giving it some detail. As far the the visor option for the Scorponok head, i love the look. I have not purchased the actual set for Scorponok yet but looking forward to.

Even though you can look at the applications on Toyhax’s site, I’ve included a few photos.

What happened to the site? The background has been dropped for an almost eye-searing stark white, and it seems like the G1 Bots and Cons have been jumbled up (I at least think they had been in alphabetical order before).

Definitely weird, i was just on the site a day ago and the background was fine. Looks like for the G1 bots, the order has been reversed. To my knowledge it was originally in alphabetical order like all their lines.

Who knows!

Meanwhile the G1 Cons are in just a completely random order.

Like playing bingo with yr eyes closed

If anyone is interested, there's 20% off all TF labels going on right now.
I applied the Earthrise Prime labels to AU Prime and I really dig it:

Looks good. I saw the 20% off and bought a couple sets last night, I might get a couple more.

So with the discount prices they were having, I decided to but the sticker sheets for the Transformers TYCO train set. I bought this set several years ago when I was stationed in Germany. All the train pieces didn’t have any stickers on them at all. Yesterday, hooked them up. Obviously it makes them look a lot better, except for the fact a couple of my train pieces look a little rough and have some missing pieces but they look so much better.

Enjoy!

Did my TR Galvatron recently. The head upgrade is just fantastic and completes the look of the figure. I've also found, giving him Nemesis Prime's gun gives him a similar look to his original figure. He also looks great with the sword.

I did my TR Galvatron awhile back and glad I did. Definitely good upgrade.

Yeah, I think it might be the best of their printed parts. They really made that figure level up a good deal.

So with the sale Toyhax was having I purchased the sticker set for SS 44 OP (DOTM).
Real quick, it was nice to be to able to apply these stickers on my desk in my new Transformers room. That could be corny but being surrounded by your collection and that atmosphere makes it better, to me at least.

Moving on, up front, a lot of little stickers. I mean Ive done tedious sets before but with a larger transformer. Depending how you are at applying stickers, I do suggest you take your time. More so with the trailer. I did take the advice from the site to add heat to the silver stripe to bring out the rivets from the trailer. Overall it turned out pretty good. When you do heat the silver portions, you can then actually cut out around the Autobot Symbol on the trailer. What I did, was applied my own Autobot symbol so that it would stand out. I did the same for the refrigerator/cooler on the front of the trailer.
Wish they had done something for the truck mode it self and even for OP in robot mode.
The stickers for the weapons, did make a big difference. I personally like the one for the shield and the sword. So much better than looking at grey plastic.
I did not apply any stickers to the jet pack portion because i will most likely have him in vehicle mode or have the OPs weapon platform set up.
Overall, a nice touch!

SGM

Dang, those touchups make him look nice in alt mode

I think so, very much. Just the right amount stickers to make the trailer better. Instead of a plain grey block with wheels, lol.

I've been working on a bunch of figures and loving it.

First up is Titans Return Sixshot and Megatron:

Part 2 since 10 pics is the maximum:

Looking good, I had bought the set for Sixshot as well. Definitely makes him better.

How much of that set covers up molded detail?

the MTMTE Alex Milne symbols are gold

After having paid 150$CAN for a complete set of G2 Devastator with unapplied sticker sheets, guess what I did?
I applied the stickers, of course. Strangely, half of the stickers seems to have been already applied at the factory. Anyway, I applied them all except the . Because on G2 figures are stoopid.

So, Toyhax to the rescue with a sheet of . Quite expensive at 7$US though. I also ordered a sheet of labels for ER Doubledealer and I finally applied the sheet on Gen Doubledealer that I received... two years ago! The only stickers I didn't used as intended are the blue ones for the sword that I used to "shine-up" the feet instead.

With the G2 faction labels, my G2 Devastator is finally completed.

Unfortunate that there was no size between the two smallest but I managed.

Looking good!

It’s been quite some time since i posted anything on here.

I had purchased the sticker set for the Ark. Due to my slight handicap (recovery from surgery) it took me about 8 to 10 hours over 4 days to complete. This set has a lot of tiny stickers, especially for the window stickers. Like any other sticker sets , it brings a lot of detail and enhancement to light for both modes, more for the ship mode. I am very happy with how it turned out. I would say if you have the patience to do apply all those tiny stickers, then you shouldn’t be disappointed. I could be wrong. I will say at least they do give you a couple extra stickers in case you lose one, which i lost a couple in transition while trying to apply some.

Obviously, anyone can compare the photos from Toyhax to your own Ark to get an idea but I just wanted to show off the mid section and rear part of the ship.

If you do buy this set, good luck!

Enjoy!

I prefer when a set completely change the look of a toy rather than slight enhancements.

That's why I ordered the Draculus set. Man, what a difference!

I will say that set for Draculus is amazing. I don’t own him but seeing the side by side comparison, it would be enough for me to buy the set.

I placed an order with them, I have 3 sets on the way, can't wait to get them and show you guys the work.

I got the 3 kits that are meant to make Leadfoot movie accurate and upgrade Armor Topspin AKA Twintwist and Track Battle Roadbuster AKA Impactor. Still need to do Twintwist, but these kits are doing a great job.

The sticker set for Leadfoot definitely makes him look so much better. I wish they would do one for the Human Alliance version. I don’t own the other two you have there but the stickers look great. Nice use of the Dale Jr car turning it into Tony Stewart’s car.

They once did make a sticker set for the HA figures, I know a buddy has them.

Thanks on the Tony Stewart Impactor. Wait until I get done with Kevin Harvick Twintwist from Armor Topspin

Well I guess i missed those. Looking forward in seeing the Harvick Twintwist.

I wish they'd do flames for ROTF Leader Optimus.

I have completed my Wreckers upgrades, and they look real good. I cannot wait to unite all 14 Wreckers together hopefully soon.

Those look great together!

Apologies if I've missed it, but has anyone here used the Gigawatt sheet? I'm seriously tempted by it...

If you're tempted by a set, just go for it. Your feeling is enough.

If you have never bought any repros before, most of the time the stickers are of high quality and never peel off unless your environment is stupidly humid.

@RotorstormNZ, I personally haven't bought that set but @Kanrabat said it best. Their sets are good and even with smaller sticker sets they add alot to the overall look.

SGM

BTW I just applied the Draculus set. I left out the drooling blood and all faction symbols because they made no senses for me.

The overall look is amazing!

Just wanted to share some photos of the sticker set for Lego Optimus Prime. While this set isn’t cheap it definitely adds the needed detail to give it that extra G1 look.

Enjoy!

I worked double on my Holiday Optimus and my friend's.

All in one night.

Now praise me.

That set does look good and much needed stickers for the inside part of the trailer.

Good job @Kanrabat

Thanks! (ง⚆ω⚆)ง

And yeah, that all white trailer was way, way too lifeless. With the sticker set, it's alive. I did ER Optimus and the SG one (using deadtimus's trailer). Only my Nemesis Prime is left to get the sticker upgrade. Might as well get to it.

Hey why not, finish them all. Looking at this set, it is almost tempting to buy this Holiday OP. Another one that is tempting too buy is the sticker set to transform the Wreck n use Bulkhead into General OP. Of course i am retired Army, so i love Army vehicles but that set is pretty cool and what it adds to the figure itself.

My next set might be for Legacy Override. That set definitely gives Override that much needed look.

You should hurry to get Holiday Optimus. What little stock remain may sell quickly. You won't regret it because it's very good. Add the repros and you get perfection.

As for Nemesis, it's expensive as hell because that's 35$US total. At least I had over 6$US in robocents so that did soften the blow a bit.

Here is a nice conversion sticker set to transform your Siege Sideswipe into G2 Go-Bots Optimus Prime. In addition you do get the blue axe and i chose to buy the red rifle to complete the look. While you can utilize Deep Cover’s head and hands as an option, i just stuck with the stickers provided. My opinion this is one of the best conversion sticker sets I’ve bought.

Enjoy

Speaking of conversion stickers, that Magnificus set is incredible.

But damn are those eye stickers hard to apply!

Quoting myself to show how amazing it is:





I bought the set for General Optimus Prime to turn my Legacy Bulkhead into "G1" AoE Hound. Now he have a "beard" and with Legacy Red Cog's weapons, he's perfect. I've got lots of leftover stickers for some future customs.





Finally, a the Repro set plus the upgrade kit for Joe Megs is a must. The canopy stickers were a challenge to install. I also customised a special "secret" symbol for inside the cockpit. Overall, once upgraded, everything is PERFECT.
