Toyhax September 2019 Update - G2 Sideswipe, Skywarp, Slamdance, and More

Anyone reading this should take a look at the first link for Sideswipe. There’s a reason they said “and beyond.”

I like Reprolabels/Toyhax, but i wish they would make more toy stages and offered those trimmed stages again. These 12" tall are great for Billy bookcases in width and depth but they are a little too tall. They really need to offer the trimmed versions again that are 11" for a much better fit.

Decided to purchase the set for “Refraktor”. Doesn’t look too bad, making it look more like a camera, more so for the lens parts. Anyways still not a bad set to get, if that is your preference.

SGM

The Stickerfixer isn't available for purchase, are there any alternatives?

Something alittle different. I was able to find a decent G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime at the TFCON in DC. Only obviously thing wrong with it was it didn’t have any stickers. I bought the set from Reprolabels and just finished applying the stickers. Glad I bought this set, cannot complain how it looks now. I do recommend this set if you are wanting to spruce up your Powermaster OP.

SGM

Wow, that does look pretty nice!

You wouldn't happen to be the guy I ran into in the hallway who bought a Powermaster Prime for $60 Saturday would you?

I don’t think so. I didn’t show this to anyone after I bought him. He stayed in the bag. I might have bought mine for 70 i think.

I ran into a dude Saturday night who somehow got a Powermaster Prime for $60 complete, was pretty awesome to see.

On a Toyhax note, i am expecting some stickers for 3 of my TFcon hauls: G1 Doublecross stickers and upgrade sticker sets for G1 Flywheels and Pretender Jazz! Looking forward to suiting Jazz up, washed him up in preparation last night

That is sweet on your stickers you are expecting to get. That will definitely make them a lot better. I had also bought a set of wings for my G1 Grotesque, so when I get home, I will get that set.

Have some toyhax fun, using up some of the new insignia pieces to help improve some bots. Debating adding Bot symbols to TR Megatron too, not sure on him yet

The Mirage sheet needs to be withdrawn for alteration (and preferably given an alternate version). As-is, it's just plain not up to snuff. For one thing, it's missing something it seriously needs: A corrective Autobot sigil for the vehicle nose just in case the factory botched it (as seen below).

I was really hoping the SIEGE Mirage sheet would account for the possibility of that error, but alas.

There are more flaws beyond that oversight (some of which I realized as I was typing):
* The "CITANES" and "26" stickers for the sides are just plain half-assed. There is absolutely no excuse for not having "CITANES 26" or "26 CITANES" as all one label in the blue area, especially when HasTak managed it on the factory decals. On top of that, having the 26 on the engine details looks really stupid, especially in robot mode.
* The shoulder stickers are completely wrong; they should be split into two parts and not be on the shoulders at all. Here's a G1 Mirage for reference:

** The silver decals with the red dots and black lines should be above his chest, to either side of the faux-parts JS-11 nose
** The purple vent decals should be modified to go on the actual molded vents on the SIEGE figures chest that correspond to the decal from the G1 toy.
* The forearm stickers would be better off omitted, or else widened to cover the molded stripes neighboring them. As-is, they just look.. off.
* Given the intent to make it look more G1, the cockpit sidewalls should actually be white, not blue like the rest of the body. The dancing girl decal should also be a separate label, so that people can pick which side to put it on, if they want it at all.

IMO, it could also do with coming in a "stripped-down" version for people who don't mind SIEGE Mirage's clear blue plastic. Because if you're fine with the transparent plastic, that renders almost half the sticker mass pointless.

EDIT: I also see that they still haven't updated Tor to have the thruster decal as an optional. Saddening, but it might be that they're having trouble sourcing an original or good pic thereof and thus it's beyond their control. What is in their control is that they have not yet redone the Galaxy Upgrade Optimus set (which is half-garbage IMO: '80s cartoon-style cel shaded windows do not belong on a Cybertron-based figure, and the stickers for the lightbar halves are completely wrong. They should be covering the lightbar halves entirely in blue to make up for them not being painted, and there should be corresponding stickers for the faux-parts cab halves. Instead of the abomination window stickers, it should have some stickers for detailing the leg guns. IMO the only window sticker that would actually work on that figure, is a sticker mounted behind the glazing that depicted Cybertron Optimus' Matrix compartment. The cel-shaded ones just make it look like more of a cheesy bootleg of the original than it already does).

So that this post isn't completely negative: I look forward to when they get around to doing a Clampdown conversion set for Red Alert. SIEGE Red Alert's red wheels and cartoon-color head notwithstanding, decals are the only difference between the two deco-wise so Clampdown is an ideal candidate for such a conversion.

Also, I think it would be really neat and helpful if they made duplicates of Sideswipe's launcher and rocket to go with the Red Alert sheet, and a duplicate of Red Alert's gun to go along with the Sideswipe sheet. that and a secondary set of taillight stickers for each that's drawn to fit the SIEGE figures' sculpted taillight detail, but that's me

We've now released upgrades for Transformers in 4 separate decades

Check out our first offerings for the 2020s:

We feel our new set for MP-45 Bumblebee perfectly complements the figure, especially the window labels:
https://toyhax.com/for-masterpiece/2888 ... lebee.html

There's a lot of new labels for Siege! Namely, for Hot Shot, Nightbird, Apeface, and the Micromaster 10-pack:
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2858-labels ... tshot.html
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2859-labels ... tbird.html
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2882-labels ... eface.html
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2883-labels ... -pack.html

Siege Smokescreen finally looks complete, with our newly added missile launchers and sponsor labels:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2875-label ... creen.html


Siege Soundblaster gets some splendid options for his chest window, as well as plenty of other details:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2887-label ... aster.html

We've also decided to add in this window amendment set, for anyone looking for different options for any of the Siege Prowl mold variants:
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2877-amendm ... ndows.html

From the mind of designer Cameran Holiday comes this two-in-one set for Gen. Select Galactic Man Shockwave:
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2880-labels ... kwave.html

This addition for Gen. Select Star Convoy is just the finishing touch the toy needed:
http://toyhax.com/for-siege/2879-labels ... onvoy.html

At last, our work on the long awaited set for TE-Element-01 is complete!
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2874-labels ... te-01.html

Within the last few weeks, we've added a whole new category: The Toyhax Armory, where we'll be focusing on customizable handheld weaponry. If you haven't seen it yet, you can do so now, including our latest addition for Ratchet and Ironhide:
https://toyhax.com/371-toyhax-armory

Meanwhile, I still await a Ratchet sheet that's cut properly and the Omega Supreme set I ordered mid-November that they've failed to ship twice now. Third time's the charm?

They've gotten it all handled, allegedly, but man the botch-ups lately have really lowered my formerly massive respect for Reprolabels.

That Longarm conversion kit really tempts me to get the Galaxy Man Shockwave kit. That looks awesome!

@D-max, that particular set is definitely interesting.

@ScottyP, that is crazy about your issues. I actually had to send them a note because their site was like locked, sort of. I did get a quick reply, it seemed with all the sales they had, they got over whelmed, perhaps. Hope you got your stickers.


I just recently bought the weapon for Siege Mirage Toyhax offered and the sticker sheet w/shoulder missiles for Smokescreen. Key part, i need Smokescreen, been lazy and haven’t bought him yet. .

SGM

We need more toy stages and the trimmed offerings back.

It’s February, so we made sure to put EXTRA love into these upgrades:

We're especially proud of what we did for Siege Astrotrain, check it out:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2901-label ... train.html

Autobot arms procurer, Crosshairs, is now equipped with a weapons terminal, and a great G1 inspired chest label:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2900-label ... hairs.html

Labels for Siege Ratbat, Rumble, eject! Operation: enhancement.
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2898-label ... umble.html

Here's our offering for Powerdasher Cromar:
https://toyhax.com/for-siege/2891-label ... romar.html

Our new label set for Hound features simplified G1 details, colour matched pin covers, cel-shaded windows... and eyeballs!
https://toyhax.com/for-masterpiece/2897 ... hound.html

Starscream's Brigade is complete! We finally wrapped up our work on the Unique Toys Combaticon line, and we're very pleased with the results:
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2905-labels ... ecgos.html
https://toyhax.com/mp-scale/2904-labels ... monde.html

Cyberverse Gnaw is perfect for a CHUG collection, once he’s all stickered up! We’ve provided two colour schemes for the labels, so take your pick!
https://toyhax.com/for-classics/2894-la ... -gnaw.html
https://toyhax.com/for-classics/2892-la ... ticon.html

Our rifles for Gnaw, Wreck-Gar and Grapple have been added to the Armory’s inventory:
https://toyhax.com/toyhax-armory/2889-r ... -gnaw.html
https://toyhax.com/toyhax-armory/2895-r ... k-gar.html
https://toyhax.com/toyhax-armory/2903-r ... apple.html

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.

SGM

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.

SGM

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!

SGMLordMirage wrote: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!

SGM

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
