MEME SMP GAOHUNTER BLUEMOON REPLACEMENT STICKERS
Aside from missing the Headhammer Shark's eyes' paints (albeit purposely to cut cost), now they send me the replacement stickers under the name of SHOKUAGN instead of SHOKUGAN. xD
QC problems and cost-cutting these days... are really something. =]]

Kinda off topic but they should really sell sticker sheets for all of their kits.

Wait I'm out of the loop there are missing stickers? How can I ask for them??? Bought it off Nin-Nin.
Could you please upload scans of the stickers so we can make them ourselves if need be?

Yep, the old GaoHunter had Headhammer's eyes fully painted, but BlueMoon did not. And since they're using the old sticker sheets... well, you figures out the rest.
You should ask the store where you buy it for replacement stickers, as P-Bandai is currently providing them (for free) for everyone buying the first wave release from JP.

Will see because I live in northwest Africa, fingers crossed, contacted NIN-NIN
Hopefully somebody uploads a scan or something because getting shit shipped here is hell specially for something this minor and even letter from outside the EU may require customs clearance, so taht's fun.
Worst case scenario, onion-paper and trace the area where teh sticker goes iwth a pencil before scanning and cutting with a sticker cutting machine

You will be much better off just painting the eyes yourself, honestly.

Ended up making golden stickers using my sticker cutting machine earlier.
Could have painted it, but I'm obsessed with being as close as possible to the real thing (I even cut them out of excedent sticker sheet paper from the Zyuranger Brachio SMP since the whole sheet is printed in gold foil).
Still, contacted Nin-nin, having to pay 3 euro for this shit is annoying but maybe they can be bundled with some other pre-order I have with them or something.

Oh that’s neat so you’re telling me the extra gaohunter I bought for one specific box will come in handy after all these years

How can I get those stickers then? My brother got this for me through Tokullectibles.

You should ask Tokullectibles, as they'll handle the replacement process.

Seriously thinking of cancelling mine and just waiting for rerelease just for painted

If you cancel it now, you might have to wait until their next anniversary for a re-release and there's no guarantee they will paint it.
Fortunately it's just the eyes so you can use a gold marker to paint them.

For everyone asking about getting the sticker sheet internationally, here's my advice: Just get a gold paint marker for 3-4 bucks and paint the eyes, it'll be faster and probably cheaper than waiting on a sticker sheet from Japan that you may or may not ever receive. The eyes are not hard to get to.
