Nope they're not precut. Other than that, they look *exactly* like the Hasbro counterparts. Nice and crisp and the white stickers are stellar. I think you'll really like them, Pete.

Its a good thing  i  never ordered from the 334th after that yo joe forum bitch session. Lots of good background info on his cheap decals.
I think i'll order a few decal kits first from Ruben first and try them out, as joe index says there impressive.

The list I just posted was from an email he sent to his customers yesterday.  Makes sence if you can avoid ebay fees. Word of mouth is helping him.  If the decals I bought from blow me away, I will order more just to fill out the rest of vehicles that are are missing a couple of stickers.

I got the decals last friday from Ruben. 

Overall, the quality is pretty good.  As a I suspected, the reproduction sheet sheet is not 100% identical to the original decals.  Some decals with white were to bright and some with very thin black lines doesn't show up clearly.  Still better than nothing.

What a pain in the ass to cut one sticker sheet down into the individual ones.

I had heard good things about Rueben's decals, but I hadn't ordered any yet.

You had said if they blew you away you would order more. Did they?

Although the stickers are not a 100% replica (which is considered a good thing), I will order more. The inks do not rub off with hard pressure, something I was worried about at first.  I will take a picture of the Ruben decals affixed on a Tomahawk with another Tomahawk with original decals at the end of the week.

These decals are great for any custom project.

I look forward to seeing the pics Pete, I have some vehicles that really could use some new decals as the originals didn't make it through my childhood.

You know what I would like to get... all those nasty paper stickers redone like traditional vinyl labels. Paper stickers are so much more prone to damage. Replacing all of those would be great.

Here are the pictures.  The American decal is Ruben's and the Canadian decal is the real deal/original.

  

The third picture shows the original decal and the reproduction one still not applied.  After comparing the two, you can see some of the reproduction ones not 100% identical.

Those look sweet.

I think the American ones come out much better than the originals....
