Hey what's going on guys, Patriot Prime here once again with another ToyHacks.com sponsored video. But before I get started with the subject of this video, I need you guys to do me a favor.

It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. Now, on to the decals. And the set we're looking at in this video is for Transformers Generation Selects Galvatron II. And this decal set includes three decal sheets on a combination of foil and vinyl backing. So now without further ado, let's take a look at Galvatron both before and after ToyHacks decals. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In robot mode, straight out of the packaging, I think Galvatron looks amazing. As I said in my review of this figure, this version of Galvatron was my Galvatron growing up. I lived way out in the country as a child, did not have access to cable television. So Marvel Generation 1 comics was my Generation 1 fiction. And this is how Galvatron looked like in the comics. I absolutely adore this deco. He just looked so cool. Very comic accurate and very toy accurate. Now, this Galvatron did come with some stickers from Hasbro, but man, did they suck. I actually applied them for my review and you can check out that review right here in the link above. But those were garbage decals. The only one I left was this Decepticon insignia right there on the chest. Other than that, there's no other stickers on the guy, but some fantastic paint applications. I love the gray face with the red eyes. You got the silverish chrome right there for the abs section. Lots of nice purples and silvers. I like the silvers right there for the knees. He's got the translucent glittery barrel right there. Very reminiscent of the G1 toy. The red shoulder pylons. Great paint applications right there for the tank treads. This guy just looks amazing and I cannot wait to see what toy hacks can do for him. So there you go guys. Generation selects Galvatron in robot mode before. Okay, I'm now going to show you how to apply the vinyl decals to the cannon. I already have the foil decal on right there around the tip. That went on really easy, but these with the vinyl ones, there's a little bit of a trick to this. So first thing we're going to do, let's go ahead and peel off one of these vinyl decals very carefully. Just like so. Now make sure your hands are washed. And what you're going to do is once I can get this thing grabbed is find where this is going to go. Now you can barely make out, see the little rectangle right there and there's the edge. You want to get this lined up as best as you can. Get the front section attached here. Stretch it out. You got the bottom there. So now I have it lined up. Go ahead and make sure that's on there. And you can either use a hair dryer or excuse me, I have this space heater. Now when I use a hair dryer up here in my review area, I always blow a few. So I'm going to turn the heat on. This is hard to do on camera. I've got my heat on now and I'm going to apply heat to this decal. So what I want to do is kind of warp it around the barrel of Galvatron's cannon. I don't know if you guys can see, but it is starting to wrap around. So after it's warm, go ahead and press it in place. Smooth it around. Try to get all the wrinkles out if you can. A lot easier to do when it's warm and there you go. So now we'll just go ahead and do the other side. Now another piece of advice I'm going to give you guys for applying these decals is remove Galvatron's face. There is a small Phillips head screw right there in the back of his head. Unscrew that. Take the face off. Now I tried to take the head off completely, but it seems really tight. I don't want a chance breaking this, but that's still going to give me plenty of room to apply the chrome decals right there along his neck. Plus it's going to be a little bit easier to apply the eye decals. And after, Galvatron 2 gets a lot of Generation 1 toy throwbacks with this new decal set from Toyhacks. Now the first decal you're probably noticing is the new red decal right there on the chest. You've got one large decal that goes all the way around this indentation right here with another red decal there in the center. Now underneath these corners, if I can get the light to catch it just right, there are some indentations in the plastic mold. You do have to put in some sticker fillers underneath this decal so that doesn't show off too bad. He also gets a great looking chrome collar around the neck and he gets new eye decals. You have a couple different options, red or yellow. I decided to go with yellow because those were the color of his eyes in the comics, and I think that looks really good. There's also new decals on either side of the shoulder pylons. Moving on down to the chest, there's circuitry decals right there on the lower chest, brand new Decepticon insignia there on the middle of the chest, new chrome decals for the abs down here on the belt. He gets a yellow belt buckle with red triangles on either side. His little hip flaps get decals right there. Moving on down to the knees, new decals right above the kneecaps, and new chrome decals for the knees. I do like how that chrome catches the light. Down here on the toes, chrome decals, and the side of the foot gets this combination, chrome, red and purple. Now, of course, we've got the cannon once again that has the decal right there. I applied a little bit more heat, got that really nice and smooth, and there's the decal there on the tip of the barrel. I love the looks of this guy and the Generation 1 toy throwbacks are awesome. Now, unfortunately, my review space does not allow me to compare Generation Select's Galvatron with my original Generation 1 figure. So, I'm going to put this picture there instead. So, you can see the similarities between the Toyhacks decals and the decals on the Generation 1 figure. I think Toyhacks did an outstanding job with those throwbacks. So, there you go guys, Galvatron 2 in robot mode after. In cannon mode, straight out of the packaging, Galvatron still retains all of that G1 comic goodness. I absolutely love the collar scheme. This mode showcases that he has one of the Generation 1 style rub symbols, though mine has a scratch right there in the middle, but let's see if you can get that warm enough. Yes, you can still see a Decepticon logo shining through. He's got the glitter barrel right there on the front, the great paint applications for the tank treads, and really that's about it. Everything you saw in robot mode, you now see in cannon mode. So, there you go guys, Galvatron in cannon mode before and after. And more, Generation 1 toy goodness carries over into Galvatron cannon mode. Now, of course, you're seeing the cannon barrel once again with the decals there near the back and the tip of the barrel, and he gets these new chrome decals all the way around the front. And I love how those look. Be aware of what shape you're putting on when you apply these chrome decals to make sure you get the right ones lined up. Back here, let's see, right here, for example, is a different size than the others. There's also new decals right here on front of the cannon on the leg and new red stripe decals right there and there. Now, down here in the treads, he gets a new chrome, I guess, axle right there. New decals here for the feet. More decals here on the side that you saw in robot mode. And really, that's about it for cannon mode. But man, I love this, especially the chrome. That is very, very Generation 1. So, there you go guys, Galvatron in cannon mode after. The Toy Hacks decal set for Transformers Generation Selects Galvatron 2 is a love letter to Generation 1 fans. I absolutely love how they were able to update the G1 toy look for this modern figure's decals. Now, it does take away a little bit of the comic look of the figure that I grew up with. But considering I have the Generation 1 Galvatron toy as a kid, this one also hits all of those nostalgia bells for me. And I love it. Now, I did forget to point out a couple decals on the arms that I really couldn't find on the sticker map on the site. There are chrome decals up here on the shoulders. Those aren't listed anywhere on the sticker map on Toy Hacks' page. But they go right there on the shoulders along with these little black decals there that I also forgot to show off. So many decals, it's hard to get them all. So if you are a Generation 1 toy or Generation 1 Marvel Comics Transformer fan, I highly recommend this Galvatron set. It is definitely better than the one it came with.
