New Reprolabel Sets for September 2012

More awesome Classics sets!


I was quick to make this set for Generations Hot Spot, based on some prior work by Mike:

The long overdue set for Octane is finally complete, thanks to Craig:

And he also brings us a set for the new Hegemon:

Mike created this set for Legends Megatron:

And Justin puts his GiJoe knowledge to good use for RTS Deep Dive:

We also switched up our free give away to... you guessed it... Autobot symbols

I really like the Hot Spot set. The other ones are nice too. I need to buy me some reprolabels soon. I got a ton of classics that could use some cool stickers.

After all of the negative comments in the Hegemon thread, I'm really surprised they went ahead and released the set as-is. The weird thing is that the sample pics on the reprolabels site don't even show the bot pics hardly at all. There are better pics in the thread here that show much more detail. I personally won't be picking up that set, as I don't like the chest swirls and I don't understand why they put inner arm details on top of the forearms.

Because that was the only place they fit. And there are optional chest decals without the swirls.

Yeah, they still don't look right at all.

I do find myself usually really liking the overall look of the reprolabels sets, but still only using some of the stickers rather than all of them, but with this one in particular, it just doesn't work for me. The placement is all wrong and it makes Megs look too much like G1 rather than an updated Classics figure.

Can't please everybody. If I make it G1, people say its not Classics enough. If I update it, people say its not G1 enough. Can't design two sets for each figure.

I like the Defensor reference in the Hot Spot set. I may have to get that down the line.
