So it has come to my attention that the neighborhood rascals and the dog pound series aren’t apart of the homies spin offs when I was looking up stuff the rascals only had a eBay page that would say homies and I went for that the actual creator is OGABLE who has made homie style figures my bad every one
I’m sorry to hear your loss man. Your brother must be so proud of what you become now always remember that he’s over your shoulder cheering you on every step of the way❤❤
It's so funny when you're grown and your cousin, who looks just like a homie figure, tells you his daughter found his homie collection and said, "Why do they look like you?"
They were in a little machine in my favorite teriyaki spot lol. I think it's just a gumball or sticker machine now. I didn't know there was such a big history behind them.
I grew up in Central California. The homies toy line has a soft spot in my heart. I went to a predominately white school in my early elementary years. I bought a pack of homies Valentines cards circa 2005 for my class in 1st grade. When passing them out, the teacher had hid the cards in the back of her cabinet. She didn’t pass them out until I asked them to. She pulls them out and says, “who would buy these”. Haha, iconic moment in my life.
I'm a Latina community based therapist for kids. I use a set of about 20 homies I collected as a kid and bought from E bay and use them for play therapy. Most of the kids I give therapy to are Latino. Their parents usually trip out. Lol
As an Italian American from NJ, I collected a few homies from the coin machines. I was so excited when I got one of the girls. Bc of the flag colors and the clothes style I thought they were Italian gangsters at first, I had no idea about the Italian line! They should have been marketed in NYC and NJ!
That’s dope to hear you found them at a Chinese spot. When I go to Mexico to see my fam, there is a taco joint with dragon ball z art painted all over haha Cool to see different cultures appreciating each other
Yup the Chinese buffet I grew up around had an entire room full of toy vending machines like 3 of them were full of just homies and also the homies stickers I always looked forward to getting them on the way out 😅
Same here in West TX. My pops had over 200 figures! Had a massive model lowrider/homie collection in a glass china cabinet back in the day. Shit rivaled my DBZ/anime figure collection I have now... 😂
Sidebar I laugh when my kids talk about how stupid the dress code is at school. Brings me back. People would wear this Metallica shirt "Metal up your A$$" and it was like a contest to see who could wear it the longest through the day without getting busted and having to wear the gym shirt. One love
Most of of the time that did nothing. I remember in elementary school one kid had to turn his pissing Calvin shirt inside out, but you could still see it clear as day.
I feel that. I had a friend who used to wear an Ozzy shirt. It was him, from the back, bum necked. I remember him wearing it a handful of times before he stopped. I'm guessing the principal caught him.
My mom had a huge collection of Homies and Rascals. But sadly after she got over the Chicano phase she threw them away. My tia kept some of them and now my uncle has them on dispaly with his lowrider models
@saitookami5128 Ohh ok, cool Of the different terms and tenets of Latino culture and identity I grew up around, I never fully knew what that meant. The original comment said something about "growing out of it", so I wasn't sure if it was an aesthetic or an identity within the culture. I like to learn where I can, thanks. 👌🏾💖
@@LoveMyUnusualthe Chicano movement was done by Mexican American and it had to do with also exploring their indigenous routes as well. Compared to other Latin American countries it's one of the few where indigenous people play a bigger role in the country (kinda). Most other Latin American countries are more influenced by the European and African roots of people. There is more to it, but it was influenced by African Americans and how they were trying to trace stuff back to their roots. Looking for an identity type of thing. So that's what they mean by growing out of, where some people might take an interest in it at some point but then don't care too much later on and just try to blend in more.
I'm in Georgia and have one of the dogs. But he stayed stuck in the red clay soil we got for years until I finally dug him out of the yard. He's missing a leg ,but still proud, and I named him Clayface.
me and one of my exes had a serious collection of homies and homies products, skateboard, lunch box with thermos, lowrider cars, remote control cars, literally every homie that was out, started multiple friends collections with our doubles, and so many other homie collectables to the point that when we split up it was a big deal about who got what but I ended up giving her everything just to move out quicker.
I never collected these, but I did have a couple. Its clear how much care went into them and how much more personality these have than other American vending machine toys. Its really cool that the creator made such an iconic and collectable toy line that was so accessible to children of all income levels, since they were only 50 cents a piece
I remember seeing these in machines when i was growing up. At the time i thought it was based off some adult animated show. For figures that came in a toy machine, atleast for one in the states, they looked like they had better quality then the usual stuff. I remember getting many machine toys that didnt even bother to paint the figures.
I seem to remember these. I remember as a small kid the Mexican kids always seemed to have that cool vibe to 'em, and I seem to remember some of them playing with "the Homies" on the playground
Same. From Elizabeth and I'm Puerto Rican so when I finally managed to get myself "P. Rico" , it felt so good. Like we had representation. As corny as it sounds now in retrospect.
Back in middle school, my math teacher had us do a group project on making a board game using math equations and whatnot. Talking with my classmates the idea came to mind "Los Homies do Math" or something like that. I grabbed some doubles i had in a collection at the time to use as game pieces and even made a box with art i found online of the homies and some MS paint lettering on it for the title of it. I want to say we got a good grade with it but this was well over 20 years ago
I remember getting the garbage can with the pigeon on it, I don’t know how rare it was but I felt like it was way rare just because it wasn’t a person lol
DUUUDE I LOVED THE RASCALS ONE AS A KID I NEVER KNEW ALL THIS WTH- Honestly thanks for this! It was such a nice dive learning all this homies stuff. I lowkey hope every gen experience that quarter capsule fun we had ngl
The cool thing about Homies is that they're just based off regular people, dudes you would see walking around every neighborhood in SoCal. Had some friends whose older brothers collected them and I always thought they were dope!
I’m from Richmond VA and would get these as a kid from the laundry mat and the video rental store! Had a huge collection but they got lost somewhere along the way, so cool to see someone talking about them now. I had no idea it went on for that long and had video games and shit very cool
I remember seeing some of these around my home when i was kid and i thought they were neat. I didn't know about the lore behind them and that is still ongoing too until now!
My dad used to collect homie figures and homie Rollers along with Dubs, Bigtime Muscle and Revell Lowriders… he honestly had most if not all of them and a gold mine if we still had them today😂 my dad also collected Winners Circle NASCAR diecast and the OG hot wheels NASCARs with the soft tires. Thankfully Nascar diecasts are pretty cheap compared to the other collections. My dad also had some old school drag racers and I can’t remember the name of them or brand, but remember one was called “the baron” and like a biker/german type of helmet for the body, and the other one was called “s/chool bus” and was based on a drag racing school bus.
For a brief time, back in 2002, I would buy one or two Homies on Sunday mornings at (I think,) a small cafe after working the overnight shift at a halfway house for juvenile boys, in Massachusetts. I dug the Homies and thought seeing the collection getting slowly bigger was pretty cool.
never collected them but i lived in san angelo as a kid and the mexican street culture was alive and well out there...the homies looked like my uncles and my aunt and their friends so i kinda wanted some but also my dad was very anti street culture so these wouldve prolly got thrown away if i did get em...very cool to finally get some lore about em.
This brought me back to when I was a little kid. My mom used to give me a few quarters to use in the toy machines at the local grocery store and I got a bunch of the Homies.
Lol! I laughed my ass off when you showed the mask and played that sound byte. My grandmother used to collect these. I kinda liked them tbh. I used to steal 'em and play with 'em. I was more into the ninjas and aliens despite these having way more personality.
6:37 The Venture Bros was how I first learned of Homies lmao. The way Dr. O straight up banished those two truckers to a life of being pocket toys had me rollin.
I’m literally looking a my homie capsule toy in a pile of junk on the floor right now. The bald dude with the big mouse ears and overalls. I haven’t bought one of these in probably 25 years and I have no sentimental attachment to it. It’s always just found a way in my pile of junk whenever I move. Me and my cousin used to buy the toy lowriders from the swap meet and sit them in the seats 😂😂😂😂
My best friend and I collected them and we would get so excited when we found a place that had them especially if it was a series we didn’t have. I still have them all, good times!
4:38 You got my subscription with this one. Me and my peoples used to cop them Homies in Brooklyn New York back in the day out of them 50 cent machines. Pure treasures for graffiti artists.
Mannn this brought back memories, I collected these when I was a kid, my grandma even made me a little shelf to put them on! This spot in the old mall used to sell them so I was able to get most of the original ones. My grandma still has some of the collection but I remember grabbing some as a adult to take to my old apartment and have since lost them.
I didn’t collect them BUT my cousin had a bunch of them growing up. Like an entire shelf full of them. I am not entirely sure what ended up happening to them though as we got older.
I remember getting these with my older cousin (who was a cholo lol) at the store when I was like 5 years old. My mom was mad that he bought them for me
I have that turtle with the spraycan rascal on my desk, always thought it was just a tribal gear toy never knew it was a apart of the homies! Amazing vid dude!
Damn! I remember seeing homies figures everywhere! Blast from the past! Im glad there still a thing! I also remember a couple of my Hispanic friends having collections of them in there houses in the 90s here in Texas damn im old ❤
I have a Homies figure with a beanie on glasses and a goatee/ stache and the classic wife beater and I keep him on my bedside table I love him so much especially because he reminds me of my grandpa❤😢
I always wondered about the story behind these! I remember seeing them in capsule machines as a kid, and the amount of trouble other kids got in for bringing them to school.

Every laundry mat in the hood had these 😂
Basically
@Gerboniproductions facts
Not the ones I go to anymore. But soul caliber and other fighting games never left
They even had em in Mexico
They were in a little machine in my favorite teriyaki spot lol.
I think it's just a gumball or sticker machine now.
I didn't know there was such a big history behind them.
They need an adult swim show made with stop motion using the original toys....I ain't even Latino but I'm in

I found Homies in eBay I’ll tell you they ain’t 50cent no more 😂
Yeah I posted in the description where to get some
How much are they now? I use to collect the ninjas and homies when i was like 6 😂😂
Yeah it’s pretty crazy. I still have all mine!

Cholos drawn like Steven universe animation?? That’s money right there
As a Hispanic that likes the Cholo culture, I would watch it in a heartbeat!
That shit sucks lol
I think you mean Steven universe is trying to look like cholos animation
SU is ass tho.
I love how the first homie featured is “Pinoy”. He’s the island mexican.
Bro the Chinese spot in my small a** town in Oklahoma had the homie clown stickers I loved collecting them so so much
Hay, same!
It was huge in Oklahoma City 🏙️
That’s dope to hear you found them at a Chinese spot. When I go to Mexico to see my fam, there is a taco joint with dragon ball z art painted all over haha Cool to see different cultures appreciating each other

Yup the Chinese buffet I grew up around had an entire room full of toy vending machines like 3 of them were full of just homies and also the homies stickers I always looked forward to getting them on the way out 😅
My dad use to wear the T-shirt when he was working around the house or chilling :)
South Texas Rio Grande Valley these Homies had my people in a chokehold
Same here in West TX. My pops had over 200 figures! Had a massive model lowrider/homie collection in a glass china cabinet back in the day. Shit rivaled my DBZ/anime figure collection I have now... 😂
Same here in Central Texas.
Same here in the Dallas area, we used to get them at a local roller rink and arcade lmao
I remember getting my first Homies shirt at 12. My dad was extremely pissed and I had to turn it inside out at school because of the stupid dress code

@@LoveMyUnusual "Americanized latino". They aren't American enough and they aren't Latino enough.

When I was a kid the local pizza spot near my house had a Homies toy machine thing 😂
In the north we always wanted the pitbulls the one with the mango the one with the mango was the prize
I got the little trashcan with pigeons with sunglasses 😎
Good enough for me lol

😂 I feel it bro I’m still figuring out how to get rid of my parasite
You the real homie for that one! Sorry for your loss bro.
I'm just gonna be 100% honest, Homies figures look like The Nutshack if it was given physical form.
If it had a budget a thousand times higher then a chewed up half penny
The nutshack if it was actually good.
I never collected these, but I did have a couple. Its clear how much care went into them and how much more personality these have than other American vending machine toys.

1:43 That image goes incredibly hard.
I remember these in the late 90s, still have a good amount of these in a shoebox with other random assorted figures like bones too. Good stuff.
I loved homies. As a stoner white boy in PA, homies was a huge part of our local culture. Everything smoker had one.
I used to buy bumper stickers of Homies when I was in high schools. I loved them.

Oh that’s old school fr

Lil homie stickers from Pizza Hut was off the chart 💯💯👌🏽👌🏽
If the LAPD had to choose between being racist and having a billion dollars they'd reach for the baton in a heartbeat
There doesn't exist a world where they have to choose, they are given a billion dollars to be racist.
I used to collect the Homies when I was stationed at Ft. Hood, Tx.
This brings back memories of my grandma she had unopened boxes and plastic bins filled with them. RIP Grandma

I remember getting these with my older cousin (who was a cholo lol) at the store when I was like 5 years old. My mom was mad that he bought them for me
Man tries to make a toy that represents his own community.
