For most National Basketball Association players, getting your own shoe or action figure is a dream come true, but it seems that one very popular NBA player is upping the ante.

Chinese born basketball player Yao Ming has, apparently, gotten his own Transformer! Taking the form of a basketball, this Transformer changes into a super hero type figure that resembles the NBA hoop star.

Talk about a weird twist on Pretenders and Headmasters. Check out more pics at the original post here.

Replace the head, add some paint and you have a cool niche market Tformer. It would go well with my shoeformers and Music Label Soundwave.

Being a Die hard Rockets and Yao Ming fan, I might considering picking this up if its not too expensive.

That thing has to be a bi*** to balance with all that back kibble. Still, a very interesting transforming toy. I'd hesitate to call it a Transformer though.

I agree. It makes me think of the Super Globetrotters cartoon from the 70's.

Oh, what the heck. Call me a sellout, I'm buy him.

That thing creeps me out. By the way, the Dr. Mareaux reference was hilarious.

Know all we need is a Derrek Jeter baseball, a Payton Manning Football, a Wayne Gretzky hockey puck, and probably a David Beckem (sp) soccer ball and we would have...Sportsformers! Sports stars in disquise!

The other day when I was in TRU in noticed some robot football player figures that had "transforming" heads. In full robot mode they are wearing helmets that somehow can be swapped for NFL players faces.

Wow. Talk about LAME. This is honestly pathetic. So do I get my own transformer version of myself since Im cooler than a basketball player. I hope the factory producing these melts down along with all the molds. This is retarded.
