G'ah! Red is definitely the way to go. I'll say again, why oh why did I pass and pass and pass on that $8 Bulldog at Tuesday Morning??
Aren't there any other readily available red boots out there?
PS: Thanks for this thread. Really great.

Here is the boot swap I just did with George Steele. I really like it. I think the boots are the perfect height as opposed to Bulldog's who I feel are a little too tall (but still look great). The only thing I don't like is the size of the feet, they're pretty small. Otherwise I think the height and color are great.

Looks like they might be hanging over the boots.

ero They are just slightly bigger than the boots. But for display purposes it really isn't noticeable because the extra is on the back.

I'm going to guess that the George Steele boots are the same as the Kozlov boots.........in my first post

Those George Steele boots look great... I think I'll do this with my Andre (I'll probably buy 2 - one to keep MOC and one to fix-up).

Guess I'll go Hacksaw blue. I hate having parts leftover, so at least the black boots will give my Duggan a Hasbro look. Still like the red better though.

Do the feet look small when using Bulldog or Duggan's boots?

This would be my main concern. Has anyone done a size comparison on the length of the foot against Hacksaw or Bulldog? Also, any other easy and creative solutions since the last post?

ing brilliant post, even though its old....lol. i never saw this before. although seeing it kind of makes me sad that Mattel didn't just make a complete "70's" Andre so that I wouldn't have to part swap EDIT* just saw that you posted this on my actual birthday, no wonder i didnt see it! lol

I did Hacksaw and felt they did seem small so I switched it back. But I wasn't all that keen on going blue in the first place, so I think I'd be able to overlook it if I was using the Bulldog red.
