I don't know what DNA will do for Nemesis. They might have to sit this one out.
I got some different parts for my Ark that wasn't DNA and that got moving guns, thou you still need to remove the panels for robot mode, they stay in place quite nicely
Whether we want it or not, my guess is:
- Transparent purple docking tubes.
- Articulated hands.
- Something to recreate the underwater base.
- Purple space gryphon.
- Gap fillers.
- A pointlessly huge weapon (like a huge transparent purple sword that can be made by combining the gryphon/underwater base/docking tubes, etc).
Then Toyhax will simply release a roll of purple tape so we can mummify the whole thing in "details", for the grand price of an extra 40 quid.
Sounds about right... I do still buy from Toyhax once in a blue moon, but this kind of thing is a large part of why I seldom do.
The Ark makes a good case for stickers. It's supposed to be this big huge thing but the flat orange hides a lot of details help make it look big. You can make those details more explicit with stickers, and also give it more windows and stuff.
It's like if you had a USS Enterprise with no windows; it just doesn't look quite right. Though, granted, that physical model was like 2-6 feet long depending on which model they used, so way more room for details.
My biggest issue with Toyhax is they give you way too many stickers. Give me like half of the stickers at half the price and we'd be golden.

Not being a huge Trek fan, I'm curious if they've sold honest-to-goodness replicas of some of those, because that sounds like money.
Possibly NSFW (or at least before eating)
It doesn't really work like that. It'd be more like half the stickers for 4/5 the price. Part of the reason they give you so many is so you feel like there's value for the price.
There was a Master Replica of the studio model from a couple years ago, https://trekmovie.com/2008/05/29/the-collective-review-of-master-replicas-studio-scale-enterprise/ plus the Diamond Select Enterprises are all very detailed.
And here I am thinking that the Scraphook set looked like a decent proposition.
Though most criticisms toward them do seem pretty justified.

'Value' would be if I wanted all the stickers. A needlessly huge amount of stickers does not come off as 'worth it' if I would only use a quarter of them.
Me: "A little goes a long way."
Toyax: "So a LOT should go even farther!"
I really LIKED the over-the-top set they did for G1 Fortress Maximus. Then again, it also has very little surface detail and by itself looks like a few cinder blocks set next to each other, the city windows really improved it in my opinion. Keep in mind, as with all aesthetic things, mileage may vary.
Well, it's backfired for them with me. The process seems inflated and so that's why I don't really buy them anymore. I buy paints and the occasional set or faction symbols instead. ShowZ also give away free uncut regular/SG region symbol stickers with every order of toys from them too.
That's the thing, the price doesn't scale with the sticker volume.
That's just mean!Especially the Enterprise-C, right Dake?
Then why aren't all the sets the same price?
Core Starscream is $5 while the ark is $65. Surely they could have just had less sheets for the Ark and sold the set for cheaper overall.
Okay, the stickers look nice, but WHOA, what is going on over on the left there?!I really LIKED the over-the-top set they did for G1 Fortress Maximus.

Is that even allowed on these forums?
I was trying to make a weapons loadout compatible with the Pretender Megatron/Grand Max shell mold (G1 Maximus of any form has a serious lack of 5mm ports), and then the world ended.
It looks like a Pretender alt mode.
I bet we could get a lot of Pretender repaints out of the Weaponizers, if more people cared about the inner Pretender robots.
