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.
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.
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.
