Toy Review: Transformers BotBots Poo-Shoo (Series 5)

Review:  #641

Name:  Poo-Shoo

Brand:  Transformers

Allegiance:  N/A

Line:  BotBots

Year of Release:  2020

Size Class:  BotBot (Series 5)

Mold Status:  redeco of The In-Sole

ALTERNATE MODE:

Poo-Shoo transforms into... a poo covered shoe.  It's imaginative and unexpected, that's for sure.

This is a good mold, although you can see the mouth from certain angles, and there is a gap at the back.

The sole of the shoe has proper sculpting of the grips too, including an Autobot insignia, which is really rare for a BotBot to have an allegiance symbol.

In terms of size, Poo-Shoo is very small, above is a comparison against Legion Barricade.

A strong alternate mode, even if the concept is a little bit... off-putting.

TRANSFORMATION:

The legs flip down from the back, while the arms flip out from the sides.  The area where the laces usually are is a panel that flips up, fully revealing the mouth.

ROBOT MODE:

Poo-Shoo's robot mode works as well as his alternate mode.  Even though he is literally a shoe standing up, it still feels remarkably different.

He's a lot more gappy from the back given that all his limbs fold out from the underside.

The mouth is painted on, while the visor is painted blue, giving Poo-Shoo a modern hip look.

In terms of size, since Poo-Shoo is a BotBot, he is much smaller than even a Legions figure.

For articulation, only his arms swing on their balljoints, otherwise, he's fairly static.

OVERALL:

Poo-Shoo is a neat little figure.  The concept is definitely unique but is not for everyone.  The transformation is simple yet fun and the resulting robot mode is pretty cool too.
