The 334th Joe Company Decals
« on: October 04, 2006, 07:18:30 PM »

Have any of you guys used these replacement decals?
They look pretty good, and was thinking of ordering a bunch of
kits. Let me know your opinion or past experience.

Hey there,

I've used them. It's kind of hit or miss... He does good work, definitely, but a lot of them don't match the originals very well. Apparently there was a problem using white ink, but then again, some of his sets DO have white ink, so I don't know what that's about. Maybe he started out not being able to use it, and now he can.

Sets that I particularly like and have used are the Snow Cat, the Flight Pod and the CLAW, all of which match the originals pretty well as far as I can tell. The VAMP looks to have a white GI Joe logo too, but I don't yet have one to apply them on. Most of the Cobra stuff is pretty good, but if you're looking to a HISS or a Moray, go with Ruben's stuff.

I prefer Ruben's stickers because of their accuracy, but the 334th stuff is good too, and seems to be getting better. I only wish he'd update some of his sets to match his better ones, in particular the Armadillo (since I have one that is in sore need of replacement decals right now!).

He has a contact email for inquiries and ordering. I don't have it (sorry) but if you ask as some of the other boards someone's bound to have it. Try Joesightings, I think some of the guys there have ordered from him before.

Time to re-visit this thread

The 334th GI Joe Company decals have been slammed and ripped apart recently with good cause.  View thread below:

http://forums.yojoe.com/showthread.php?t=44134

Ruben on the other hand, has been getting great reviews.  It's freaking funny that he can post this info on yojoe and doesn't get his hand slapped unlike Midnight Chinese figures or repro parts.  My ancestors came up with a word for this: Hypocrites.  Any ways, I placed an ordered for Tomahawk and Defiant stickers from Ruben and they should be here a week or so.   Having vehicles with little or no decals does kind of suck.  And looking at the quality of his work

 
 

I can't wait.  It's not like I am going to an original sticker sheet unless I buy a MIB item.  So this is the best next thing. Plus Mastercollectors sticker sheets seem to be like this as well and nobody makes a stick about it.  They are reproductions as well.

According to Ruben, he now has the following: 

APC $5.99
Avalanche $5.99
AWE Striker $4.99
Conquest X-30 $6.49
Defiant Space Shuttle Complex $16.99
Dragonfly $5.99
Hammer $5.49
Mauler $5.99
MMS $5.49
Mobat $5.99
Phantom X-19 $5.99
Polar Bear $4.99
RAM $3.99
Sky hawk $4.99
Skystriker $12.99
Slaughters Marauders Equalizer $4.99
Slaughters Marauders Lynx $4.99
Snow Cat $4.99
Tiger rat $6.49 sold out
Tomahawk $6.49
Hammer $5.49
Mauler $5.99
MMS $5.49
Mobat $5.99
Phantom X-19 $5.99

RAM $3.99
Sky hawk $4.99

I have a Stinger sticker sheet that came with a Stinger I bought (which had stickers on it already in damn good shape) that came from Ruben. I haven't had a reason to use the stickers yet, but from looking them over they're very, very nice. Whenever I get around to doing sticker replacements I'm definitely going to go with him.

I assume Ruben's stickers are not pre cut?  Just like 2006 Mastercollectors ATVs and Warthog.

As far as I know, he doesn't have a website.  He just posts what he has on the yojoe mesage board.
