Talk:Heel struts

...do we have any evidence that these have been referred to in-universe, or would this article be better off detailing the relatively recent trend in toys to have feet that extend behind the leg as well as in front?--Rosicrucian^Talk 13:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

It's supposed to be about high heels, so... no, nothing in-universe. Extending it into a more serious exploration of toys that have gone that was as materials and design approach have gottern more radical and their feet are no longer bricklike might be a good idea too though. Any good examples pop to mind? (ideally a toy with a bricklike G1 foot, and a modern toy with a dainty one?) -Derik 13:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Heck, even bricklike ones usually have an extra strut behind these days for stability's sake. Witness recent figs with big feet like Classics Optimus Prime or Animated Voyager Megatron. Movie Leader Prime has an automorph mechanism dedicated just to giving his feet struts in the back for crying out loud.

Which, incidentally, takes all the fun out of firing a missile at a fig to make it fall down.--Rosicrucian^Talk 13:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Incoherence

Is this article noting/complaining about the trend to give fembots horrendously impractical stiletto heels, or is it noting that other bots have stabilising struts which extend behind their actual feet, which is A Good Thing because it makes them unlikely to fall over (not something that the stiletto-fembots encounter)? It's completely incoherent. - SanityOrMadness 11:04, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

Fiction use

So now that the term's been used in fiction, any chance the article could be de-Derik-ified? --Detour 20:25, 14 May 2012 (EDT)
