I ordered a set, and you can too.
I've seen these before, but my concern is that the gold decals won't be as metallic. Please post some pics when you receive them!!
I definitely will, even if they are less metallic it's still better then ugly worn looking controllers... At least to me.
It's things like this that keep me goin'.
Awesome! Yea it will basically make a Famicom look prestine after a retrobrite treatment.
Cool item! But I also doubt the golden controller decals are printed on metal (aluminium or whatever the original was) plate, they look plastic. Let us know if it's really worth when you receive them! :)
Awesome place by the way, FDS belst for 5usd free shipping? Cool!
Heh that's true, but we will see the result soon.
The results!
Looks good so far. Are the Power/Reset stickers printed on transparent or white sticker? And how shiny are the gold decals compared to your Hudson controller?
They are clear decals, also the controller decals are actually pretty shiny looking.
I'ved also printed myself new decals. :D
Wow shiny! I sort of wish I had retrobrited my Famicom now :(
Heh, yeah. This is my 3rd attempt and luckily my best one so far. I didn't even use retrobright's ingredients at all. We have a liquid oxy cleaner here in Germany that does the job for me. Costs around 1,59€. ;) Weather was sunny yesterday and I couldn't resist trying it again. Result is aweosme.
Yes the results speak for themselves
Hi all, this is Brian from Retro Raider Japan - I am working on a second run of these decals, and am thinking of using the "famicom family" variant this time around.
I am also considering a slightly smaller outer cut for a better fit, and this time, a brushed metal finish on all the gold parts, making it look even closer to the original finish!
If you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you, and would like to thank everyone that ordered from me.
Thanks!
The only thing I would suggest is to make them metal like the originals rather than just decals.
This Aliexpress store has everything printed on aluminum, but the OCD in me notices that the A and B labels over the buttons don't seem to match the originals 100%. I'm sure I can nitpick more on it.

What people will most likely want is a 1:1 replacement.
has anyone used these controller decals before? they look pretty sweet, i have ordered some but still waiting for delivery.

They look good to me, and I was about to buy a set until I got a set of controllers for $18 with nice metal decals on eBay.
Is there anyone out there still making the front metallic decal? After many rounds of retrobrighting over the years, my faceplate decal is missing some red and I wanted to see if there were still replacement options out there.
This should work but you need a 3rd party to buy them.

Thanks! With shipping and proxy fees I could buy another famicom just for the shell, so I'll be passing on that but I appreciate the reply and effort to find the auction.
Just found this,way better option.

I'm looking for the metallic front panel decal rather than the other stickers.
