I always look at the "sticker" racks and NEVER find anything that I can use for Playmobi ... :(

Well done, Cheng !!!

I'm going to have to keep looking through all those kid's "stickers" ... ;)

I was sort of hoping that you had made your own decals and that you would then tell all of us your secret ... :)

All the best,
Richard

 ;D
but thats exactly how i feel Richard! Exasperated  :-\
i often have to ask my son or daughter to accompany me to the kids' sticker sections...otherwise the shop assistant may think i'm some weirdo especially if i spend 10 minutes and found nothing suitable...almost all the time...you know, those girly ones...pastel ones...and of course almost always too large for playmo-scale

as for printing stickers..those printers and sheets are not common here and probably cost a bomb  :P i know there'll come a time when i run out of things to do and a sticker printer will open up a whole lot of customs again...just as learning to make molds would  ;)
BTW, i think those home printed stickers are just too thick...if you can see my death-head stickers, you'll find its a very thin one and they wrap around and stick very well without thick edges too

so no worries..we are still in the same boat!  :)

Excellent customs, cheng! :)

Those stickers were definitely a very lucky find. They look just right on those hats. 8)

I will have to take a closer look at the racks in my own stores. The most exciting thing I ever found here was some official Playmobil sticker sheets a few years ago, featuring pics from the Knights, Pirates, and Farm themes. I keep hoping to find more, but no luck so far. :-\
