    Toyhax/Reprolabels
    dropped by again and gave us an update for their newest label sets. Here is what Delta Star of Reprolabels has to share with us:

    "Happy New Year! Here’s the first Toyhax line up of 2017!


    Leading the year off with an amazing sticker set for Titans Return Galvatron that gives the toy some much needed detail and highlights. Oh and we also decided throw in brand new helmet parts!


    For those of you who own Takara’s Galvatron rest assured that you are not forgotten. We’ve made a version just for you!


    Here we go! Wave 3 of the ever popular lineup of labels for Titan Masters:


    Continuing our Deluxe releases is this impressive set for Triggerhappy!


    We’re pretty excited about this long awaited ankle biter. Our label set for Titans Return Gnaw!


    Now for our third party releases:


    We jump right in if a bit ahead of schedule with a gorgeous set for MakeToys Downbeat;


    Venturing back in MMC territory with a unique set for their Overlord figure, R17 Carnfex;


    Great things do come in little packages…we had a lot of fun with Iron Factory Lord Scorpion!


    We are returning to the free outline symbols promo as well, and probably for the last time. You will receive a free set with every $20 you spend.


    Finally, today will be the final day of the 1 cent offer for Titans Return Brainstorm labels!"

    Thanks again to our friends over at Toyhax.com for stopping by and sharing their news update with us! Make sure you check all of these out!

    A set for Downbeat before Downbeat is even released? I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do.

    love that galvatron head, really like it, just wish there was an easy way to completely remove the flip up official head without cutting it out.

    I've never used toy haux labels before. What kind of material do they use? Do they look like "G1 stickers" or better quality than that? I prefer that it not look like you put stickers on a MP quality figure but Maketoys Downbeat NEEDS something...

    Do you mean Hasbro G1 stickers? But are they worth it, being stickers is my worry. I dream that "stickers" could look more like "tampos" lol.

    I mean they are better than anything Hasbro HAS EVER done in the last 30 some years . Are they worth it ? well, they are expensive, probably too expensive in my opinion , but you will have to decide wether they are worth it or not. But again the quality of the stickers is by far the best out there . again all my opinion.

    While still not perfect, this is the best Galvatron solution so far.

    MakeToys or maybe one of the other distributers that were given a preview sample probably gave Reprolabels an early copy so they could get a head start.

    Not impressed by the stickers for Galvatron: seriously? Not even tankthreads?
    The stickers for Triggerhappy on the other hand make a stunner shine even more!

    Still no new conversion sets. Me sad.

    EDIT: the Gnaw set is great, lets you costumize three different Gnaws with one set. Perfect for troop building.

    I hope the Galvatron helmet parts are sent in packaging better than a simple envelope. When I got their conversion set for The Fallen, the head parts were broken. I managed to glue them together but still.

    They certainly are not Tampo quality (although the best ones are getting close to it). The quality of the sets I've picked up from them has varied from just adequate to really nice (usually closer to really nice).

    They're reasonably cheap and I think you'll be generally impressed.

    Gah! What happened to the Scattershot conversion set? They teased that before the December update. Hope the delays are because they're doing something special and not just to mess with me . . .

    I don't like them on MPs, at all. I've gotten a few sets and some faction labels. They are better than the G1 counterparts, but they still look like stickers. If you want something that looks like tampos, use Dry Rubs or Water Slides. Eness/Oceans makes professional looking Dry Rubs, and there are some links floating around the boards where people have posted water slide images you can go and get printed out on a laser printer at staples, if you provide the water slide paper.
