CTVT boots; how are they?

[JimCem99]

I'm looking to replace the moon boots on my Mattel Supes, GA, GL and BM. How are the boots from CTVT?

They are EXCELLENT. I have used them as replacement pieces for those very figures when I find them on the cheap at flea markets. Their like the Mego boots, except a little better because the plastic is a bit softer and more pliable. They slide on easy and fit nicely. You won't be disappointed.

Are they okay for Batman, GA or GL color-wise? The blue seems kinda light and I guess the green is okay, appear a little darker than Mattel's.

I would tend to agree. I am not into repro stuff for my own personal collection. However, I do keep a rather large amount of supply on hand for customs. I would not ever hesitate to order from CTVT for some of my customizing needs. Their service and prices have been great thus far.

Sorry, these are not for Megos but for the Mattel. I thought I had that in there.

You did indeed. Some of us just over looked it.

I gave my opinion based on the quality of the CTVT boots. As far as color matching on the new Mattel figures I could not honestly tell you. I have yet to buy any of the Mattel figures as of yet.

I am sure some one here who has will can chime in and let you know the info that you requested.

I just got my Mattel BM today and the boots would be too light in color for him. Have to see if I'll switch the head out to the Tex Willer BW.

I like most of the CTVT boots, esp the white & purple ones, & the orange cuffed ones.

The blue ones are too "teal" to be worth much; the yellow ones almost always contain dark specks.

But in material & thickness, they are very Megoesque--a bit softer.

One of my frustrations is that the gold cuffed ones sold out...

I LOVE the CTVT'S Boots! They can be cut into Batman, or Superman Boots. And the "blue Boots" come in two shades...light & dark blue.

I found the dark blue klingon-style boots to be molded so thickly that I could not put them on a figure...

The blue hero boots are teal-ish.

I have no problem getting them on. I use "original" Mego Legs...and heat the Boots with Hair Dryer, and they pop right on.

I have a selection of CTVT boots on hand for customs. I like 'em, they work, are sufficiently Mego-ey and they won't break the bank. Although there are better quality ones out there if you have the extra special custom you want to give some extra pizzaz (I'm a fan of the Cast-A-Way boots).

I'm a fan of the Cast-A-Way boots.

I'm a big Fan of the CAW pointed Toed Boots....but they're all out!

I really like the CTVT red 'hero' boots for my matty Superman.
They look alittle slimmer from the front than even the old mego 'hero' boots, so from the front Supes has almost a 'Chris Reeve/Superman' boot look to him.

Also, the plastic is easy enough to trim along the top for a more accurate look. Good red color, too, IMO. Also, very easy to slip on and off. Can't beat the price, either.

I know..., I know...'Pictures, Please!'
Well, I have no way to take pictures right now, so the description will have to do.
'Sides, been spending my money these days on mego and mego-like stuff.

They have an assortment for sale. 7 pair for $13. All different colors. I put a green set on the Retro Green Lantern and they look good. There is a purple pair for Luthor as well. Good deal, good price! 7 Pair of SuperHero Boots
