But I think some people would raise a fuss if a 'black' character was released as a yellow minifig, because they don't see things the way (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

They are stickers. For the most part, they seem stick to single elements. there are only two stickers that run the entire length of the midsection across 8 elements (2x2x2 slope bricks) on both sides. the label is really really really small and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)
