Reprolabels October update!

Everything except that pesky "SIDE A" sticker looks great on Rumble.

Man, Reprolabels to the rescue again!

With these stickers, my FOC figures will look on par with their Japanese equivalents (sans the shiny plastic, which I don't like anyways), and I won't have to sacrifice my first born to be able to afford them!

Maybe I might be getting FOC Jazz on sale after all on sale at Walmart. As good as the Shockwave set looks, I dont believe in covering clear plastic with decals.

I'm just going to quote Ben Hallenbeck's comment on the Rumble set:

That Rumble set just made that toy from a "buy if seen" to "BEGIN THE HUNT".

Probably gonna pick up the sets for Prime and Shockwave.

I like all the 'glowing' details on the FOC figs. I think Jazz could've used some extra detail though, especially on the waist.

Rumble looks pretty amazing. Love all the cassette nods. I'd probably keep the wave and Japanese characters off if I were to get the set but the rest looks great.

MP Thundercracker seems kind of pointless, but I guess for those who want more G1 accuracy it's nice.

I just ordered all three FOC and Thundercracker, but I do have a few thoughts on these:

1.) FOC Shockwave - I can't believe they didn't make two purple circles to cover the god forsaken screws on the chest..I mean..what? Repro-guys..c'mon that should have been a no-brainer!

2.) Why haven't they made a V2 MP Starscream set yet? Thundercrackers' look great, and I'd love a set for Starscream too.

3.) Not sure I like the design for Jazz's chest. I don't get what it's supposed to be. Why didn't they just do a stripe?

Other than that, these look great, I'm looking forward to their Combaticon sets....oh and the fricken COMBATICONS to hit shelves....(LOOKING AT YOU TARGET *evil eyes*)

So the MP Thundercracker set is meant to make it LESS interesting? :/ I realize all the little in-jokes on the figure aren't for everyone but this set doesn't really add much either. The glowy details for the FOC figures is a cool touch. Really wish they would stop fiddling around with sticker sets for G1 figures that never had stickers in the first place. There are plenty of others who have yet to be done.

The number 4 in Cybertronian, maybe?

The FoC sets actually make those figures slightly desirable. I think I know what Rated X means about covering up plastic with decals, but those highlights really make Shockwave pop. I might have to get that set.

The set for Rumble is damn near essential and mighty good looking to.

Hmmm...maybe. Just seems like an upside down C- though. Kinda odd. Meh, the windows are money though and I'd buy the set just for them.

I agree with Rated X too, but I'm still applying mine. I think, like you said, they make him stand out WAY more seems the light piping sections are basically null and void in the chest.
