Peeling Stickers

MisfitKraang · 02-23-2014, 06:07 PM

Hey guys, I picked up the Kraang Hover Drone and the Rippin' Rider a few months ago and the stickers are already peeling

Has any one else had this problem with other vehicles from the current line and are their any methods to re-sticking them or correcting the problem?

I've noticed that with a lot of my vehicles. The stickers started peeling also. I would just glue em so they don't fall off.

On mine the corners start to peel but not so much that it's noticeable.

Tape is your only hope until someone makes a site for TMNT repro labels. My Cowabunga Carl Van has suffered sticker alopecia for quite some time now...

He's talking about the Nick basic vehicles.

If the stickers get so bad, contact Playmates and ask for a replacement sheet. One time I asked for another missile for the Rippin' Rider because I lost it, and they sent me an entire bag of replacement parts, including both missiles, the shooter, the two head lights and the foot peg things...along with another sheet of stickers.

In the past what I've done is carefully peeled the whole sticker off, and used a small amount of spray adhesive on the back. Works like a charm.

I've used double sided tape on other vehicles before. Works good.

I've had luck in the past with heating the sticker gently with a blowdryer: It reactivates the glue and allows you to restick it (unless the pulled up corners got dust or dirt onto it).

Also, when first applying the stickers, I shoot it for a few moments with the hairdryer...this causes the sticker to stick more securely from the get-go.
