Ok, I have to admit it: I hate stickers. I don't put them on my Joe vehicles mostly because they look like stickers, no matter what. But when I opened the new Black Dragon VTOL and saw that everything was printed/painted on (the way they do transformers: tampographs? i think its called?) I was just flabbergasted. Is this not the best thing ever to happen to Joe vehicles?
I just had to throw some props to the big H on this one. Great design choice! Hopefully they'll stick with it for future releases. (except obviously for things that offer customization, like how they did the Skystriker, or if they make a Coyote...) |

Being a 1:18 vehicle collector I forget that you guys aren't used to tampoed graphics on vehicles.

I love stickers, so I think this sucks a little bit. On a side note, the Black Dragon is small. Looks like it's in scale with MASK figures.

Agreed 100%, stickers suck, I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened it to find the logos were all tampos...so awesome.

I do not place stickers on my vehicles unless it is a custom job. This is great news!

The only down side I see is if someone, as you mentioned, customizes it and wants the stickers back on there.
I hardly ever use the stickers, so it makes no never mind to me. |

I like putting on the stickers. Makes every vehicle a little different - somewhat. Already complete out of the box is cool too. I hope everthing doesn't end up that way though.

I loathe applying labels.
I have about 20 GIJOE vehicles of differing sizes on my shelves with the labels as-yet-unapplied. Some have been waiting to be labeled for 2 years. So the stickerless Black Dragon was a joy to me!

I was thrilled when I opened it up to see this. I do like stickers to the degree you can place them where you want. But I am owning up to the fact that I just don't ever feel like taking the time the sticker something. I have around 30 vehicles still in boxes because I don't want to sticker them.
