Reprolables: Tyranno, Dino Tanker & DaiZyuJin

My 100th blog! O joy. It was a good plan to do the reprolabel blogs first (laziness)
Tyrannozord was a raving bitch to clean. So many stickers here where so damn wared-down. moisturizing didn't help, neither did heat. I got this far by scrubbing like my live depended on it. In this photo it was still sticker. So annoying...
But on the other hand I did get to appreciate how awesomely well this thing was designed.  And putting on the stickers was so much fun! I do like how the tail turned out. It always looks dull without those decals.
Some stickers like on the thighs don't exactly fit because the plastic has shifted over the years. The vent stickers on the back are really awesome. I am so glad that I have them. Because the back looked so boring.
So I do like how this worked out. Even though its still not 100% show accurate.
Overall Its always a bitch to clean up old stickers and stick on new ones. But it did result in some awesome visuals. I almost got the impression that I got these things new out of the box! Well except for that Tricera though lol
And when combining all these zords in to the Dino Tanker its really worth it. They bring the mecha back to live and add an layer of awesome that the original Bandai America where decals.
The Megazord itself is just so epic. It almost gives the impression that I got a 100% complete DaiZyuJin instead of a 100% complete Dino Megazord with new stickers. I love how those M's stick out. again its not an exact match but its cool. I do wish I got the chrome sword though. Or at least the diecast one I saw on Ebay. Which is btw way to expensive IMO
The back doesn't have much going on. But at least its more then what it had before. And I admit that I didn't exactly knew where the line stickers of the Mammoth needed to go. But it worked out al right. Kinda makes me sad I won't be seeing much of it though xD
Overall I am happy how this turns out. I cannot wait to get the Diecast 2010 MMPR Megazord  and the Super Robot Chogokin Megazord in a set to compare them. I am getting them all no matter what the costs.
The only thing I want after this is to buy an Dragonzord, and two extra Mammoth and Tigerzord's to make a reprolabeld Dragonzord Warrior Mode / GoRyuJin. It will cost me but in the end I'll be happy when I get there.

I dunno what to do next. I got a fair share of blogs to release and I got ALLOT of stuff coming in next week and 2 weeks from now. I am glad I did this for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers anniversary and my 100th blog. Hopefully next one will be less boring xD

Reprolables: Guardian Beasts Zyu Mammoth & Pteranodon

Blog 99 of my Toku Tea Room. This time Its the Mastodon Zord and Pterodactyl Zord
The Mammoth was the most fun to sticker, because I always loved the design of not only the stickers but the the Mammoth itself. All of the stickers where easy to put on with the face/shield. But for some reason the right eye keeps coming loose. Luckily along with that one sticker on the Sabertooth this are the only ones on the entire megazord.
And out of all the Reprolabled Kyoru demi-gods this is again my fav. Love the M's and I love how the Yellow line almost gives the illusion of a continued line. Its just epic
 Moving on to the Ptera. The girl who owned it kept it in a box for 18 years but the stickers survived remarkable well. As such this thing was one of the two easiest to clean. Even though it kinda pained me to watch them go.
LOVE the Silver teeth on this thing. But sadly that's where the problem of this sticker set. Those teeth are a millimeter to big to on the left side of the front its perfect. But on the right side its way to spread out. Revealing a red line from the mold that really annoyed me. So I tried to correct it and now I got a fold in one of the lower teeth... sigh. 
Lastly just to compare. The Pterodactyl on the left is the one I picked up at a flea market about 17 years ago, when I was maniacally trying to find the Dino and Thunderzords. Its incompatible with the Megazord because the pegs are broken. But I do have to say that the red on this thing just looks better. Somehow it just looks more lively. I couldn't bare putting this thing back so instead I decided to put it on display. Also So I got a place to put the cannons lol

And with that I end this little blog. Next time I'll finish my final 100th blog with the Tyrannosaurus Megazord and DaiZyuJin. Bye

Reprolables: Guardian Beasts Triceratops & Saber Tiger

I got my stickers and that means I'm starting the countdown!

Guardian Beast: Saber Tiger / Sabertooth Tigerzord
This thing wasn't that hard to clean but It costed me more time because the 20+ year old stickers weren't budging, even with extra heat an moisture added to it.
The most annoying stickers where to the side and on the top of the back. The sides where annoying due to the many groves and details underneath and the on the back was so damn annoying because it was the one which was the most stuck on and I had to peel it with that cannon in the way.
 But the result is awesome. The only that annoyed me was that annoying sticker black/silver that is located on the to in the back. One of those stickers just refused to stick. Its getting loose once in a while. Maybe I should glue it? hmmmm
 On the sides though... Man this thing looks way better then when it had the blue stickers Bandai America put on it (damn them) I see no faults here. I am so happy I got these.
Guardian Beast Triceratops / Triceratops Megazord
Now for Tricera its was a bit hard. Since I got to choose from 2. I found one of them at a second hand store. It practically called out one me. That be the one in the first photo with the stickers still on. I decided to go with that one because it didn't have that blue scar I kinda dislike. But don't worry, Its still getting the reprolabel treatment as soon as I get a Dragonzord. The stickers it got now gives it more character. I am so glad I instantly bought it.
The old sticker was hard to clean off and the new stickers where hard to put on. I am happy with the results... Kinda. I dislike how I did that big sticker. Its not 100% in the right place, even though I did try to correct it.
And on the sides its not really much of an improvement. Sure the stickers are cool and it does bring it back to live more. But I do get the feeling that I am missing something here...
More Tricera
I am not done yet! This is Slug's long-lost dino brother.  He's not as mean-spirited but he's still quickly offended if you smear at his badly designed robot form
His Triceratops for though is okay, as long as you don't transform his hind-legs wrong xD His transformation sucks though. Because you have to split his waist and tail. Its hard to put back too.
And his robot form... Now you see why his Cybertronian brothers would l0ll0l000l0l0l00 at his robot mode. He was better of keeping his proto-form because this just does not work outside of combat. For one thing just talking to his fellow Autobots pretty much ensures that their optics get removed by the horns and that they codpieces get snared be the beak xD
Plus most of his kibble is in the front an spread out to the sides. He can't get trough any door with all this kibble. Sure the shoulder cannons can point at any direction and the Triceratops head is good for defence. But this is just an horrible design over all xD
Any way now that I got this bootleg out of the way I can put it back on display next to Catilla. They look great next to each other. Almost makes me wish I had, Swoop, Grimlock and BW Neo Big Convoy to put them together xD



This was the first of my 3 count down blog to the 100th on my TokuTeaRoom blog and also celebrating the upcoming 20th anniversary of Power Rangers. I hope to finish this up quickly and get onward to even more awesome stuff! Also be sure to visit Reprolables.com for awesome G1 transformer stickers and from other shows like Power Rangers
