Fun fact: the buzzsaw used by "One-Up Toad" is copied from the official "Lego Rock Raiders" set. If I remember correctly, two of those were attached to the front of a digging vehicle and could be detached and used as hand-held tools by the figures.
"'Ey Mario, you wanna play Lego with me?" "No, Luigi, you can't play these knock-offs!" "But they have our faces, Mario! This better than the original! It's amazing, Brother!" "That's because you're a communist, Luigi."

Lego opted for Pokémon building sets to go to Bandai's Mega blocks line and Mega toys owner Mattel got a green light to import the sets to the US. Super Mario and Mario kart are with us owned Knex who also under license makes Hasbro's Tinkertoy and Lincoln logs toys. The sets Lego was a cash in to.
The spanish text says "It must be stored in the packaging bag right away. Avoid asphyxia infant [sic] 'for' (yeah, the actual word 'for' written in english, not spanish) play the bag" So yeah, pure poetry.
Maybe bootleg batman is based on the cannon where Bruce's dad becomes batman and he just straight up kills his enemies. Or more likely they just grabbed what ever random stuff they had
Regular lego figures usually come disassembled. That Is normal. People often buy just the figures without the bricks so the knockoff Bricks coming with the bootleg figures are just a small nice bonus. Also LEGO’s especially the figures can be ridiculously expensive sometimes especially online so selling much cheaper priced bootleg figures is very lucrative for bootleggers and they often create characters that lego doesn’t have the license for like Mario , dragon ball, Pokémon, robocop, aliens, etc. the extra hands included are because even with real minifigs hands are one of the most often to break pieces so the extras are in case of braking . There are also some more Mario bootleg figures such as donkey Kong and yoshi
There actually IS an official Toad character with a 1-up Mushroom-colored cap: Kinopio-kun, Nintendo's mascot for some Japanese social media app called Line. ...This one probably wasn't based on that, though.
LEBQ Arctic Bat Man clearly comes with a -pistol- grappling gun and a -sniper rifle- sniper grappling gun for ultra-long range cable firing with high precision.
Hey, I have a LEBQ minifig. It's a rather decent knockoff of Deadpool, you can just about tell it's not the official one from the slightly worse decal work and the accessory colors are wonky, but all in all I was positively surprised at the quality. Maximum effort indeed.
+Agamemnon2 Looking them up on Google Images, Jia Li Bo toys has made several Lego bootlegs based on different franchises, including ones that don't have actual Lego based on them. These include One Piece, Naruto, various Disney franchises like Frozen, Monster High (yes, Mattel's Monster High) and of all things, Mr. Bean!
i know im 2 years late, but there _IS_ official mario legos. only they aren't mario, they were made by Nintendo - and they got sued by LEGO over the design being identical, so they made the blocks rounded instead of block shaped. the more you know
YAY! I've been waiting for LEGO to show up on the zone! There's this swap meet near where I live where you can get a lot of different bootleg toys, including LEGO sets. Ninjago, Mario, Minecraft, Transformers, Marvel/DC Heroes, and a cheap(or even cheaper) knockoff called "DIY Truck." Personally love their Minecraft sets and have a bunch of them, since it's amazing how either spot on or insanely off they can be... Case in point: www.ebay.com/itm/391282862367?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Phelous, Did yo know about the Soccer Mario and Luigi keychain bootlegs? I saw them at Dollarama a while back and bought at least one. They look like a high quality bootleg with an official Nintendo licence, if I remember, but they seem like knockoffs with Chinese letters on the packaging.
I'm-a THE BATMAN, and I'm-a gonna wiin! I love watching you play with toys, Phelan. The world continues to burn around me, but as long as I can occasionally watch the most lovable goofy Canadian in the world play with the bootlegs, I'll be content. :3
Pensive Scarlet Wait, holy crap... phaylus is Canadian?? Oh my god, that's so awesome! I'm Canadian as well, and aside from Matthew Santoro, I've never seen any other Canadian RUclipsrs...
I want the bootleg BETA Toad now. I know that it's not going to be worth anything, but just the thought that there's a small chance that the bootleggers actually knew about the BETA Cosmic Toads makes me a little happy inside. Then again, I could just get a Toad Amiibo and paint stars over the circles instead.
I actually spotted the Ford GT transformer knock off at Big Lots while buying some coffee earlier, immediately a giant grin appeared on my face after that review.
5:23 could be his bat bomb gun (you guys remember that right? It's as big as a rifle but you shoot it by pumping it like a super soaker basically it launches sticky bombs
I was given a Pokémon lego bootleg as a parting gift, and it came from the JLB line. It has Ash with a toolbox and Blockasaur, the crappy Minecraft version of Bulbasaur. Among the other sets were wing-eared Pikachu, bat-eared Eevee and flat Gengar.
For a bootleg this is actually good. The parts go together and make what the pictures show on the box other than a few odd accessories. Definitely better the other insane products and crappy products you've covered on this show.
How on earth did you assume the toad was based on the beta cosmic toads instead of the life shroom design? I love Mario galaxy, and I’ve never even heard of them, yet it’s practically impossible to play through Mario galaxy without seeing a life shroom.
I've encountered lots of these fake Lego sets before. The ones branded "SY", "Bela", and "Decool" are the best, hovering around the Kre-O level of quality.
The staff with the one toad is from Mario 3, when you save the king a scepter is thrown down from the airship and lands in the king's hand. Dunno why the toad is holding it in this case, but it at least has some context..
We got a ton of these, on every Lego franchise they get their hands on like Disney or Star Wars, in the Philippines. xD The JLB, LEBQ, and the LELE Block are always present. xD
White Batman: You're going down, you sick knock off b@#€%! Bat Hero: But why? You are bootleg too! White Batman: I'm at least better than being an awkward action figure whose the walking punching bag! Especially to his so called girl friend! Bat Hero: You didn't need to tell it like it is! White Batman: Well too bad, because I'm White Bootleg Lego Batman! 💥
Another great video, Phelan. (Look at the tat Ashens has reviewed that you haven't yet and review them.) You forgot the Ninja Turtles! (The only ones I want are just the Mario ones just to have Mario minifigures.) When will you upload that? (You should review more Galaxy Warriors/Masters Of The Universe bootlegs.) Bootleg Lego Turtles now. (Review those bootleg Ghostbusters you once talked about in that one video.) I demand you upload it! (We need you to review more bootleg Pokemon toys like ABrandonToThePast showed in his vid.) Please do a naked vlog? (It would be a great experience just to try and you should look up the naked vlog campaign.)
To be honest ever since I first played DOOM I've wanted a translucent green fire/seaweed piece to use with LEGO Castle sets-such as a green torch representing the wizard's lab or some such thing. …granted, I haven't touched LEGO Castle sets in 'bout twenty years or so. ='( Ah, well.
The handgun with "Arctic Batman" looks quite a bit like Han Solo's blaster... but is that Lego Mjölnir a custom mold? I don't have any of the Marvel Lego sets, but a quick Google image search turned up without any pieces that look like that one (I don't see any detailing on the handle of the official Lego Mjölnir pieces I've found). The short Lego legs look SIMILAR to the legs included with characters like the hobbits and dwarves from the Hobbit/LOTR sets, but they look custom to me. Also: how are some of the comments from 3 weeks ago? Does "Published on Dec 17" just mean "Was listed publicly on Dec 17?"
I like how he complains about these things not coming with enough bricks to actually do anything when the official product that these are clearly trying to cash in on, the Collectable Minifigure Series, rarely come with ANY bricks, and when they do, it's usually just one or two to build an accessory. These bootlegs are actually better than the legit product in that regard.
i didnt know Phelous lived in chicago now which is eally impressive since the sets for his shows dont seem so differnt :D (unles the chicago living was temporary like a meetup. you will have fun with the bootleg lego :D several companies dont even rip off officsal IP but kickstarter esque suggestions from Lego Ideas. one of them being a bionicle esque Buildible Starwars figure line and another minifigures based on disney pixar's Inside out:D ooh and then you can tackle legit construction toys that mimic lego like megablox XD
In russian it says that to prevent children from choking while playing, you have to "put the folder in a dangerous place, so that the children won't touch it" o_O
Actually, the red with yellow star mushrooms are the double HP pattern from Galaxy. Still, there was never an actual mushroom person with that pattern sooooooo...
Hey Phelous(Phelan?), do you know of the site Ali Express? It's sort of the Amazon of Asia, where you can find most of the more popular knockoffs and bootlegs and you can choose whether they come with or without boxes. I've been using it to stock my own collection, including these Mario figures that came with boxes.
I love how instead of making a bootleg Dry Bones, they just decided to just use a Ninjago Skeleton.
More than 4 years after this video and there finally is an official lego mario set
Eh!
I was about to say that

Fun fact: the buzzsaw used by "One-Up Toad" is copied from the official "Lego Rock Raiders" set. If I remember correctly, two of those were attached to the front of a digging vehicle and could be detached and used as hand-held tools by the figures.
There was a Japanese-only promotional set like that, otherwise there was a clunky handheld twin-buzzsaw in 4930 and scattered saws in other sets
Actually, there are legit LEGO figures with the short, stiff legs. Yoda is one notable example.
They aren’t stiff, they’re just non-articulated.
Yeah they’re the kid legs
@@wumpus976 Tomato, potato

+StarTsurugi Well that makes _too_ much sense!
+Jessika Smith Cause it wouldn't be a bootleg without dubious spelling.
StarTsurugi Indeed. Bootlegs clearly have the greatest grasp on any language's grammar.
Jessika Smith Even "Made in China" is a hurdle to some. Infinite pleasure.
The English version had children spelled as chilren
Thing to note, there are short legs in actual Lego sets for characters like Yoda. They also have no articulation.
I love when he makes stories with the toys at the end or in the middle of the video there so funny!
yoshikirby43 gaming I love it when he does that too.

So LEBQ Batman is basically the BVS Batman? Well that figures.
