    Martolabels are created by a poster in this thread, Marto6. You can PM him and have the labels sent to you for about $11. He said he would print them for as long as people wanted them. The labels are high quality vinyl and some have metallic chrome. Search for his posts to see the label sheet. Many of the photographs of Spinny in this thread sport his labels.

    The one on the left has the minimum "essentials". The one on the right is all decked out in the extra details he provides on the label sheet. There are duplicates of the signal lights, lower leg details and vanity plates. BTW - the signal light decals go under the clear lenses.

    There are times when having a big ego, and big mouth take "biting off more than you can chew" to a whole different level.

    He IS huge. He's not a lot taller than CW Devy, but he is so much more beefy and MPy looking.

    There are many types of people which is why there are different figures for different people. If o cared more about having the vans on my shelf is probably go Voodoo.

    The skirts don't bother me nearly as bad as him having both sunken in sides AND a big gut. It's the odd shape of the torso.

    The kit does help your problem and mine, since it moves the skirts to a position that fills the odd torso shape I dislike.

    Oh man. My super loose balljoint froze up after an attempt at tightening. Before I knew what happened I twisted it off. All my fault. Spinout is getting a steel rod I guess. :/

    Thanks man, for promoting my labels! Like you say , I will make these until no one wants them... I do include a lot of decals .. for variety and mishaps that can happen. Feel thats best given the distance these sets travel.

    I was missing a signal light lens on my first copy of Spinout and let Captured Prey know. They said they'd try to get the replacement part for me and guess what showed up today? Yep, pair of lens covers.

    THANKS SIDECUTTER! THAT'S AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    And that's why my signature has the banner...

    Okay, pics of red rear quarters variant...for a more toy reference then just a yellow car.. Which I would say no red quarters is better.... don't feel this is just too bad. Also used the chrome spoiler decal on this. The black stripe is trimmed different to work better with the red decals. Thanks for viewing.

    Wow, I think that red on the rear end looks great! It really helps freshen up the look while keeping it classic enough. I'd buy a set if I still had him.

    Thanks! I designed this set of decals to (finish) the figure in way it still fit the masterpiece ideal....But brought the G1 toy into it best as it could be.
    I too feel they look good. They definitely add some color.. Only mean that a all yellow alt mode stickers to a more real world feel and the Masterpiece ideal. I was able to get a second figure when they were on sale awhile back. Wanted to show off the red quarters on the alt mode as I had not seen anyone who purchased a set of my decals do this... I also wanted to see it for real. Not just on my computer screen.. I am happy with how it turned out... the red design was honestly inspired by the combiner wars figure. Since it also fit the feeling of speed the Countach implies. Glad you like it.

    Traded in SO today for my local collector shop, got $60 for him, a come up from the TFSource $49 sale, so I'm happy. Turned him into some Star Wars BS figures! Spinout, you will be missed (sorta) until then it's gonna be a wait for an official release.

    Who threw their spinout around the review area? I certainly shook him a bit here and there out of frustration for pieces falling off and loose joints, but he wasn't 'thrown around.'
    I don't know if you're talking about my review as I most certainly had the back plate up where the wheels fit.. That doesn't fix his problems of the head plates not working right or wobbly legs.

    You're right though, with every positive I said there was a negative.. Because it's a bad toy. I'm not here to make glowing reviews of everything I review.
    Sadly most of my reviews are positive on the toy because I don't tend to buy things that I think are going to be bad toys. I just don't have the money to do that.
    But you better believe if someone is going to offer me one to review I'm going to be honest with what I feel about it.
    And I don't know about you, but I spend A LOT of money on this hobby.. Why would I want a subpar product?

    Well, because, if you're anything like me, you value aesthetics over QC/design, especially if shortcomings are exaggerated/hyperbole.

    I don't think the shortcomings are exaggerated.. Short screws, bad tolerances.. I really don't see the exaggeration.
    Sure if the Aesthetics work for you then go for it. But that's sort of a special scenario where your judgement on aesthetics supersede the quality of the product.
    In which case regardless what someone says in a review you're not going to care.
    That doesn't mean I shouldn't be honest about all it's shortcomings and I how I personally feel with respect to the product.

    It's called being shallow. :D  ;)  Screw that "it's whats on the inside that counts" BS. It's allllllll looks for me. If I'm not attracted to the outside, I don't care how good the inside is.

    I picked up a $50 too, because why not, and I can cosign that this is the first 3p figure I've had with QC and design issues this bad. And yes, I have the original run of Ollie... this is far worse.

    I'm honestly disappointed because I bought this mainly to replace my badcube one in robot mode, but even though there are certain things I like better about omniscient robot mode proportions, the overall robot mode just doesn't look better.

    A shame, because I liked the original design, but even if the QC was perfect there are a bunch of tiny compromises that add up to a substantially compromised design. I'd definitely buy from omnigonix the designer again but probably not omnigonix the company.
