Anyone know where to get a stamp for putting cobra logo's on figure's ? Instead of stickers ? Or even some kind of cut out that can be sprayed on ?

By the title I thought this was about a stamp for paper and letters. Now that is Cobra stamp I want.

On Stamps.
I made one but it doesn't work well on figure surfaces. It's really tough to get a clean even transfer with no smears. Plus you would pretty much have to layer colors unless you plan on using black or blue or print on a light surface. Bright colors, like reds, have a hard time showing up on most surfaces without white or light grey underneath it. You may find yourself trying to perfectly matchup two printings that are less than an inch in size. I can almost guarantee that even if you're a freaking jedi, the registration's going to be way off. It's so tiny the pressing down motion will smear the detail or collect texture when you lift off. The only printmaking technique (outside of printing decals) people can use at home that can do this is serigraphy, which is probably what Hasbro does to begin with. |

Paint and stencils for the logo that small will not work well. You can buy waterslide decal paper at hobby lobby and then print them from your computer. They work great. Be sure to "seal" them with a spray after you print them though, or the ink will run.
