Hey Fellow Joes. Just wanted to chime in on this During my Flagg build I first purchased Toyhax and upon receiving decals here is what I noticed. The deck decals has a paper type feel to them. The only difference I really notice on the '99' decals for the island toyhax is white and the rattler repro is a off white cream color.
The feel of the rattler repro for the deck stickers had a more vinyl feel to them, so I used those all except for the bow '99'. The rattlerrepro was a bit smaller than the toyhax. On the stern I noticed the rattlerrepro were a tad bit short, so I trimed a bit off the toyhax to make up the difference. |

I also noticed on the bow '99' one nine is a darker shade of black than the other. Kinda bugs me, but I dont wanna pay another $100+ for another set. As a update I sent them pictures of the noticeable difference. They are sending me two new '9's free of charge.

Hello all
I am in the process of restoring a 1984 WHALE to it's original form. It's of sentimental value and the decals have yellowed and fallen off over the years. I've been reading through this thread and decided to go with ToyHax. Are these decal's colors vibrant compared standard Hasbro decals? Looking for something that "pops". The original Hasbro decals fade into the olive green color of the WHALE. Would someone please share photos of their WHALE with the ToyHax decals applied? I checked the site but it shows a different WHALE. If you have a VAMP, MOBAT, MIRAGE and Night Raven that would be great also. Much appreciated.

Night Raven with Toyhax, again, no regrets. Cobra sigils show up nicely on the black.

I still don't get why people swear there's a difference in flagg stickers between toyhax & rattlers. I've got duplicate sets from each place right here and there is absolutely zero difference. I mean zero. Rubin is a pain in the ass to deal with too. Every time I've bought something from him it takes weeks if not months to get here & when they finally do they're always damaged/scrunched. He is impossible to deal with and even harder to get resends from when stuff arrives damaged. I like toyhax. There decals are the same as Rubins and much better Customer service

I suggest you use Goo-Gone to remove excess sticky residue and then plenty of soap and warm water. Regarding labels, I've only ever used Toyhax so can't offer a comparison. But regarding color vibrancy I'd say they're excellent with no transparency that I've noticed. I've only ever noticed one mistake on a label - the VAMP MKII Scorpion sigil was oddly mirrored/reversed. Apart from that, zero issues and I've done quite a few. |
