I have a complete set of Laser beast shield and scored 2 more rare one (sea panic and puzzle color) but there really faded, Does anybody know where I can get 2 replacement stickers? The shields are fine but the fading bothers me

Hey mate congrats on the fond of the two rare Euro Shoelds there really hard to find and even harder to find mint.
If it was me I would leave them the way it is but if it bothers you so much there was a guy who made repo stickers and shields at one point however I belive he made them differant colours so people would know they were repos. Sorry I can't be more help.

Collecting the shields and chargers are great fun I wish all the beasts had there own shield.

Me two, I so wish Skull Grotess had his own Shield. That would be BA!!!!

[retroactive80z]

A few people don't like them. But I love them so much that I'm having made a King Kong laser beast that's going to have his own shield. Ill keep you posted on it mate.

Yeah, I agree here. Don't take off an original sticker to replace with a repro.

[Toxoviper]

I would replace the damaged stickers myself.

Contact TGB to see if he can sell you some reproduction stickers

I essentially just sent the same following message to Venom, but I realized I could extend this offer to anyone else in the community as well.

For fun, I recently started reproducing LB shield stickers to display with my LBs as I do not own any of their shields. The only caveat is that I've recreated these from reference photos online and since I don't actually have any of the physical shields, I don't know the precise dimensions and have instead gone on visual approximation. So, I can't know for sure that my designs will fit the original shield plastic pieces (I've simply been printing them out on thick photo paper and mounting them to LEGO handles for the figures to hold)




If anyone would like to lend a hand by sending me some precision measurements of the shields you have (or even place them on a scanner next to a metric ruler), I could then make adjustments to my designs if necessary to be sure they fit and then send some free stickers for those shields as compensation for your efforts once they are completed.

Currently I have completed (but not confirmed measurements) for Sea Panic, Fight Horn, and Puzzlecolor shield stickers. (see my avatar for an example of my repro'd Sea Panic sticker)

Just send me a PM if you can help out; thanks everyone!

Nevermind.

I was working with Marty (TheGodBeast) several years ago and I had recreated the illustrations for all the shield stickers. If you don't want to damage the original stickers and want a new set of reproduction shields, you should try contacting him. I'm not sure if he is still making the shields since I lost touch with him a good while ago.

Yeah he actually got in touch with me in response to this post and gave me the info about that project. I wasn't aware that that anyone had already reproduced them until I saw this thread, but apparently he still does and they are available. I'll likely continue to recreate the designs for these for my own amusement and not worry about the dimensions as I never really intended to distribute them anyway, but I agree that TGB would be the best route to go for "authentic fake" shields, especially after hearing the effort that went into that project and having owned a few of his armorvor heads.

There is a copy of those scans posted somewhere on the board. They can easily be reproduced on sticker paper for your printer and then hand cut. You'd need some repro shields to stick them on though.

Could someone post this link? I've searched and can't locate these scans...

Thanks!

[WhiteLeo]

Here you go. Print them out and slap them on your shields. These are thanks to AnotherFan. I just happen to have the file for some reason. LOL

Ahh, these are exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks WhiteLeo! Now I don't have to use the scans from Lee's Toy Review to vectorize the rest of these bad boys

I'm thinking about making some Shield Battler stickers for my car's rear window.

Not a problem!!!! LOL I would laugh my ass off if I saw some one driving around with LB Rear Window stickers.

I'll post you a photo once I make that happen

Also, I decided to take this one step further by using the images of the shield plastic from Lee's Guide scan I posted recently. I've created a contact sheet of the 12 Shield Battler shields complete and fully-printable, so now everyone who doesn't have or can't afford the originals or repros can simply print out paper copies to display with their figures. I had some photos posted in this thread earlier but ended up breaking the links, but soon I'll repost some images of the LBs in my collection holding these paper reproductions.

Cheers to lord for originally providing the source materials, to AnotherFan for touching up the stickers (did I get that right?), to WhiteLeo for reposting them, and to anyone else who played a part in the process of making these wonderful and extremely rare pieces of art available to the public!

I hope you all enjoy them, and I'd love to see photos of anyone using them with their collection!

Thanks for the props, Bachamn. Yes, I redrew all the images with Illustrator using scans of the original stickers that Marty provided. And definitely thanks to lord for being brave enough to ship his rare awesome Euro Shields around and Marty for making spectacular repro shields for the fans that are not lucky enough to own the originals. ( He made me a clear red set.) WhiteLeo, thanks for digging up the old file. Good to see you again, buddy!

And thank you Bachamn for making the paper copies of the shields for everyone.
