Sunstreaker and Cyclonus - restored and restickered

I recently purchased two of my long-term dream hunt Transformers G1 figures, Sunstreaker and Cyclonus. I got them for a very, very good price from a fellow Transformer Flickr poster (who still has a number of G1 items for sale). When they got to me, they were in relatively good shape (and complete with accessories) - Sunstreaker had some chipped paint, and Cyclonus is a little loose - but their stickers were in bad shape. It was mostly the robot mode stickers that were bad, so you can't really see it in the pictures, but take a look anyway (the links go to the seller's photos):

Within ten minutes of receiving the package, I had ordered Reprolabels for both. I've used Reprolabels before, but I'd not ordered since they started die-cutting the sheets (previously, one had to cut them out with scissors, which is a really, really arduous task), so I was really looking forward to seeing the new product. And lo, it didn't disappoint. Here are Sunstreaker and Cyclonus with their new clothes:

I just couldn't be happier with the finished look. Both figures look almost as if they're reissues (to me, at least) instead of toys that could have been in a basement for twenty-someodd years. Reprolabels makes a quality product, and services like Reprolabels are certainly a big part of what make me so happy to be a Transfan.

I didn't know you bought from him! That's awesome. He's friends with Nala and Evebird IRL, and went with us to Iacon One last year! Those look great!
