MacrossMan Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I wasn't around to purchase these decals. What made these decals so great in comparison to the decals included with Yamato Valks? What would you guys recommend as the next best thing next to Anasazi37's decals? Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Yamato includes stickers with their toys, and they are really quite poor stickers at that... the clear backing on yamato stickers is very thick, and the printing is often fuzzy and not very good. Anasazi printed waterslide decals, which were wonderfully thin and impeccably printed... with some proper technique, Anasazi decals can be made to look painted on. Next best thing... hard to say.

big F Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah once you try em you cant go back. Even on 1/55s they look great. Quote
misterryno Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah once you try em you cant go back. Even on 1/55s they look great. I would like to find that out by getting some for my 1/55 but where o where can I find them. DO TELL PLEASE!!! Quote
Mog Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Just to chime in, the Anasazi stickers are pretty impressive too. The Yamato stickers have this hazy sheen to them that makes it pretty obvious that they're stickers. While the Anasazi stickers blend in fairly well with the rest of the bird and almost look like tampo printing. Granted, the stickers don't have the same painted-on effect that the decals can have. But the stickers ain't too bad of an alternative either. As far as available alternatives now, there's MW member takatoys' stickers, which are also far better than the ones offerred by Yamato. Additionally, I think winterdyne was also considering starting up his own decal/sticker business, but I'm not sure if he ever decided to go forward with the idea. Quote
Auto Pilot Off Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) next best thing.. definitely for me is TAKA TOYS stickers! Yay! Edited April 30, 2008 by Auto Pilot Off Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Definitely check out takatoys' stickers, they're the closest you'll come to decals. I got a set of Anasazi's stickers and it seems the ink chips off them pretty easily. I don't know if I got a bum set or if this is how they're supposed to be. But they still look fantastic! Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Does Takatoys still sell stickers? I thought they were sold out at tmpanime.com for quite some time. His own site doesn't seem up to date. Does anyone know where to get them? Quote
ron5864 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah, I would like to know where to get them too. Quote
takatoys Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Hi I still have a few stickers from the site shown on my signature. I can take orders until tomorrow afternoon. Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 takatoys, when Yamato releases their new 1/60 VF-1 do you plan on making stickers to go with them? Quote
takatoys Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 takatoys, when Yamato releases their new 1/60 VF-1 do you plan on making stickers to go with them? I will make stickers for the 1/60 VF-1 unless it comes with lots of tampo markings. It is also better for collectors to keep the original sticker intact. Quote
misterryno Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I will make stickers for the 1/60 VF-1 unless it comes with lots of tampo markings. It is also better for collectors to keep the original sticker intact. Is there any chance in hell that you would be making some decals for the 1/55 Bandai Valks. ?!? Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks, You got a PM, Takatoys Edited May 2, 2008 by Valkyrie23 Quote
takatoys Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Is there any chance in hell that you would be making some decals for the 1/55 Bandai Valks. ?!? I am not sure about that one. Unlike Yamato, Bandai put a lot of tampo markings on the 1/55 VF. Bandai did not paint the shoulders. If you don't want to use the sticker sheet you can make the shoulder markings with some special black tape that are sold on hobbyshops. Quote
misterryno Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Is there any chance in hell that you would be making some decals for the 1/55 Bandai Valks. ?!? OR.....some decals for the CM Legioss/TREAD combo would be nice. The Legioss realy does'nt need anymore cause it is Tampo printed quite a bit and comes with some stickers (I think they're stickers I have'nt looked closely enough yet). BUT...The TREAD could REALLY use some. Let us know what you think. I have found a couple reference pics to help if you need them. Quote

Actually I was more looking for decals for super/strike parts or skull emblems and some "UN SPACEY" decals. Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I will make stickers for the 1/60 VF-1 unless it comes with lots of tampo markings. That sounds fair to me, thanks takatoys. Quote
mechaninac Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I guess I'll chime in too. Takatoys, will you be making a sticker set for the upcoming YF-21 as well? And how about the Destroid Tomahawk that's to be released later this year? Edited May 2, 2008 by mechaninac Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Yesss, would love to get some good/better decals for the YF-21 and Tomohawk! Quote
