Great news for fans that have purchased the Metallic verision of Gigapower Guttur according to their Facebook page he is shipping to your favorite retailers in a matter of days. The chrome is still a work in progress due to some mold changes. This is Giga’s first 3rd party release and going by some of the video reviews of their pre-production sample they have done a great job video links below.

It is a tough decision if I will or will not part with Guttur chrome. He is the shiniest of them all. If I did part with him and kept the alternate head I know I can't ask as much for him. With the alternate head I can ask all the money since those are very rare and were only made for the weathered..

My Snarl's shoulderjoints are wobbly AF. Is there a fix?

I've seen snarl having issues with his hip joints, and they gave a replacemnt in the metallic slag. Is that only an issue with metallic snarl, or chrome as well?
JustPrime
Looks great! Going back to snarl, if anyone has new/like new chrome reissue they'd like to sell, (slag too) please drop me a DM.

One last derailment then you can go back to talking about Snarl!
This is the raised insignia for Grimlock in the recess and a split in half dry-rub for the Dino mode.

The 3D stickers are from toyhax.com.
The waterslides are from ocean decals. Uncle Billy sells them and they can also be found on eBay. You might wanna shop around for a good price.
JustPrime
These look fanastic. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link to where I can purchase these 3d stickers and water slides?

I did this too. Except I have the Gigapower Grimlock
For the Grimlock one on the Gigapower you do have to trim a little of the silver off to get it to fit but it's effective still.
I also used a 3d one on Swoop's beak, used a small hair band to hold it in place for 48 hours so the sticker adhered properly to the contour and it's been solid since.
I'll attach a picture later

Toyhax is the most popular, but they are stickers. Personally, I went with the 3D stickers for the bot modes, chrome-backed water slides for dino modes. I have the chrome versions and they look great.

Grimlock is the OSKO so he doesn't need any decals, but people have used the 3D stickers for his bot mode too.

Swoop only uses a chrome-backed water slide decal.

I’m looking to get some decals for all of the gigapower dinobots. I’ve just recently started to buy 3rd party figures. I’ve noticed showz gives a free sticker sheet of autobot and decepticons with most of their orders, but was wondering if there’s any brand in particular that offers great decals for 3rd party figures.

Frank said in the Show-Z thread a couple of months ago that Gigapower was definitely going to be reissuing Slag and Snarl. He just didn’t know when. He didn’t say anything about the chrome versions. I wouldn’t be getting any hopes up for them.
piman
I just missed that.
JustPrime
So not outrageously long then as far as preorders go. I really hope they reissue the other 3 in metallic. Finishing up the other 3 as weathered would be even better.

I think the metallic preorders went up last summer?

How long ago did the preorders for the metallic versions of slag and snarl go up on showz? I'm in the same boat as some of previous posters. Late to the game and missed out on these releases. I purchased a chrome grimlock and swoop on ebay this week, though if GigaPower is going to reissue all of them in metallic I'll just wait it out and get them in metallic as they come out and sell the chrome grimlock and swoop I got. I'm just worried the metallic slag and snarl have been up for preorder for years and theres no telling what will happen next.

I have reordered it ages ago.
