I'm disappointed by the absence of two things. I really want to see improved/alternate versions of G1 Sunstreaker and Ultra Magnus' sheets. Sunstreaker's sheet is missing the Diaclone/pre-rub factory headlight stickers (extra egregious when you can see them on the Sunstreaker in the sticker map!), and both sheets have certain stickers that need color-correcting -especially Sunstreaker's blasted shoulder stickers. The clash isn't too bad on Ultra Magnus, but on Sunstreaker ye gods. Those stickers are supposed to blend the shoulders in with the rest of the carbody, so they need to be the same color. Leaving them red (which matched the Diaclone version) makes them do just the opposite so that the shoulders stick out worse than they would if you left them bare black!
Ideally an upgraded Sunstreaker sheet would also Transformerize certain decals (the "CR" ones on his doors and the one under his canopy that just has a blank silver rectangle, where the Diaclone one said "Car Robo"), but it's no biggy if it doesn't. The headlights and yellow shoulder stickers, those are the key thing that would make me want to buy a Sunstreaker sheet.

I see what they are going for. But one must paint the whole figure in dark purple or black first before applying the sticker sheet. Using Apeface head is also brilliant.

Well, that's kinda the point. "Stretching" some random toys into other characters offer more sets to sell. I often use those oddball sets to make my own original characters customs and it work very well. Even on the toy that is not intended by the set. Just look a few posts above to have an idea:

Well, there's only so much you can do without outright kitbashing. If it helps, perhaps think of it as what Tarn might look like in a more vintage G1-based design.

Yeah, those are honestly of greater importance by far. Later figures can be enhanced by these upgrade sets (at least, sometimes. I don't know that I'd call the cel-shaded windows for Jinrai Prime an enhancement, they make it look like a Transform Jr toy IMO) but they don't need them the way G1 toys do. Between how most of the G1 figures were outright designed to use stickers for half their detail and deco, how prone those old paper labels are to various forms of damage (especially if the toy was frequently played with), and how many G1 figures just never had their stickers applied to begin with...

I don't find it a particularly good figure of Jazz, so they may as well try find a better use for it.

Dogfight set just looks like a fancier Triggerhappy. It's too busy for Dogfight and not enough light blue. Also not sure why they didn't add some black to the guns. Feels like they've been doing a lot of half-effort sets lately.

Comes off a lil bit rude in my opinion. These guys do good work and often come to the rescue when Hasbro release a toy with a 'half-effort' deco.

Toyhax is proud to present its newest release!
Starting off strong, we've finally wrapped up our set for POTP Rodimus - it's a whopper alright!
https://toyhax.com/for-potp/2541-labels ... prime.html
Continuing with POTP, we've also got some very creative sets for Tailgate, Elita-One, and Snarl:

https://toyhax.com/for-potp/2548-labels ... a-one.html

Yet another fantastic conversion, this time for Studio Series Thundercracker, insipred by G2 Dreadwing:

The long awaited guns and labels for TR Pounce:
https://toyhax.com/for-titans-ret/2555- ... ounce.html
RiD Windblade gets some much needed attention:

Third party was not forgotten! PE Core Magnus:
https://toyhax.com/standard-scale/2551- ... agnus.html

What is the relevance of Hot Rod/Rodimus not having Autobot insignia on his chest?
I do like those cell shaded window stickers on the MP Hot Rod.

I wondered that too, but it appears its so you have the option of whatever "type" of Autobot insignia you'd like.Carnivius_Prime wrote:What is the relevance of Hot Rod/Rodimus not having Autobot insignia on his chest?

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)
Posted by Bumblevivisector on May 23rd, 2018 @ 3:02pm CDT
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
