Pretty cool, huh. Not great but not bad

1) Magnus has the wrong colors on him. Why is there aqua where there should be blue? Looks bad.

2) Starscream's head look like Megs (despite the mark over it). I hope this is only on the proto, if not it sucks.

Well, technically UMagnus hasn't jointed the Shoeformers rank yet. Takara called him as Convoy/Prime. Otherwise he would be in my Ultra Magnus collection list already, ehehe. As for the color, I'm okay.

Look, Magnus/Prime okay. But Megatron/Starscream? If you want to re-color Megatron, at least just paint him purple and call him Galvatron. These Items are pretty sweet as collectors pieces, but I cannot really imagine much play value- especially considering that the're all the LEFT shoe! Why don't they make the recolors the opposite as the originals? Someone dropped the ball on this one.

Nope. Incorrect. At least with this collector. Super high demand or not, I'm just not interested, at all. I won't be either. Some things you can just look at and know, you just know it's something you're not going to like. That happens to be the case with these.

In fact, there's quite a few things that Takara has put out that have hit high demand as collectibles and I still to this day haven't purchased one, not one.

Well if you guys hate these guys so much, was anyone stupid enough to buy one and doesn't want it anymore? I'll buy it off of you... please?

To be honest, I think these things are cool. They're interesting. They're something so totally different and out there. I'd get them if I could shell out for 'em, but being a college student really doesn't give me much leeway with fun money. >_>;

Not my cup of tea, but if it does something for other collectors out there more power to you.

Anh here I thought BotCon was taking folks for a ride!

$200+ for 2 repaints, I don't care how rare they are...

Best of luck if you feel differently though.

I'd like these alot better if they had both a lest and right for each figure that would combine to make the robot.

But I guess it's to late for that now.

I agree, but, how do you make armor for a shoe? +

However, a new heald sculpt would have been great.

Agreed all the way around as for the armor, maybe they could do something with some insoles :???:
