I know leo will probably never see this, but I want to thank you for teaching me what to avoid when buying toys. and the hazards some things that seem safe can have. it's funny how something so horrid and desperate, can teach me such important lessons
Interestingly enough, the little smoke device is very, and I mean VERY similar to that used in the early episodes (Seasons 1-4 at least) of Thomas the Tank Engine. Hmmm... Excellent video this is! It makes me sad to know that some little kid might get this instead of a real Thomas. Heartbreaking...
i think the prime year to see Kiss was 1976, they were lean, mean and very hungry for success, make sure you read Ace's book No Regrets, thats a real insight into the band without the hype.
i really don't want to promote where i find this stuff because in essence it's illegal, lets just say most large city markets has toy traders who sell this stuff, the larger Tomy knock off sets are fairly new. Yes they are a excellent way of grabbing some good track pieces at a fraction of the price of real Tomy.
@KnapfordMaster98 i'm not big on HD, these were shot in SD and upsized so it's a cheat. From the data I see over 60% of my views come from mobile devices, so I have to wonder why you need HD for stuff which is seen on a tiny screen. Being HD the upload times for me have blown through the roof, where I live the internet is not that great I feel good quality is not as important as good content, that's something may youtubers seem to forget
I hate how the creators of the knock offs make the toys so cheap and nasty that they dont care how dangerous their creations are. They are only interested in making the toys just so they are the getting the money that people spend thinking "its a good deal"
I remember the Thomas Freight Car set, but Tomy made a different with a variety of trucks in different colours with goods and flatbeds with Trevor, Bertie and Terence and a special faced Thomas. I bought it back in 2004 and Tomy, stop making them now. Anyway, it's great to see you back Leo ;)
@ClearwaterMK2 yes the clone Big Loader set is pre loaded with some very curious aspects, the study of this single toy has become a epic in more ways then one dark side episode 3 will be uploaded soon
@mrtrainboy97 episode 3 is the rip off of the Tomy Thomas Big Loader, it's quite a complex video as I will do a direct comparison to the real toy which is these days a classic toy and fairly collectible It will be a eye opener I can assure you
i would give. . . ANYTHING to go back to the early 2010s. they were good times. . . i remember watching these videos all the time when i was, like, 6. you rarely see good thomas stuff of any form on shelves nowadays. and it's a shame, too, because the trackmaster and magnetic wooden series of thomas toys were really neat. i miss it, despite being way over the target age now xP
Your back, yay! Glad to see you've gone HD. I love watching your vids in full screen and HD shall make it even more enjoyable. leokimvideo is immortal!
333 people work for the illegal toy industry. HiT Entertainment could have put a lawsuit on them. But they wasted the time that was given to them to do that to illegally (That's right, I said Illegally) remove the Trains-Formers videos.
How can we have transformers stop motion movies and plush videos with copyrighted characters, but can't "legally" have trainsformers? Also how is it illegal?
Great to see you back!! Once again, Leo, a top-quality video. What a mess a few of those knockoffs were! The funny thing, my son liked the Transformer one the best! HA! Maybe they DO know something...hehe.
The Toontastic Toon his warning on this really did catch my attention, warnings don't usually do that to me. boy was he right to warn us. it was like a thing of nightmares. like someone had done a crazy messed up experiment on Thomas
That first thomas set is actually pretty cool, I like it! Even though it is a knockoff and shouldn't be liked by ANYONE, I like it. You can't change my opinion on it.
Seriously, those Annie coaches are interesting. I wanna get them just because they’re different and backwards compatible. What did happen to Clarabel? Either she fell apart, she fell out the box because of the poor quality, or Timothy got her, then said “Nope” and threw her away.
Thanks for uploading these, I've been missing your videos quite alot, nothing to waste my extra time on. This video was definately not a waste of time. I saw the "worst" one at Toddington railway in the Signal-box museum.
@fraynster correct, some youtube partners are using a little loophole to steal videos and set up conditions which make it very difficult to have content removed I have had enough BS from youtube of late and sure they know all the details of the youtuber who has 3 accounts loaded with my stolen video It's like how many times do you want to steal something
@ThomasisEpic411 thats a excellent question, had me looking as well. It sure looks like a different style with that red wheel. Considering it's a box picture it may easily be a very early version
@kissarmy110936 looks like your a Kiss fan, hey so am I. My first rock concert was Kiss 1980 at Sydney, from that day on I was no longer a kid. My hero was Ace and I still love his work, just read his book. My second concert was a band called DEVO in 1981, now it you watch Yo Gabba Gabba you can see the guitarist of DEVO.!, he is the artist who keeps drawing spuds..! I love it when people stick to their spuds..!
honestly, it seems HIT doesn't care about Thomas anymore. HIT made Thomas repulsive and even let Mega Bloks do the block building versions instead of Lego Duplo, who used to do building block Thomas toys.
I have a theory on Clarabel. Probably like myself, the people in the chinese factories struggle to spell it so hence they haven't bothered... it's a possibility! lol I love these vids it is extremely interesting.
The set at 4:42 has several things so incorrect their funny 😂 1: Gordon has named Thomas 2: Gordon stole James's tender painted blue 3: Spencer on the box says passenger car 4: Spencer's nameplate says train
The "Thomas & Freight Cars" Set at 4:43 is a true mark of desperation in blackmarket techniques. I have the licensed TAKARA TOMY product, and am thoroughly disappointed with the attempts to make a cheap dollar. What a shame.
When I saw that last KO Thomas I was thinking, "OMG, WTF did they do to Thomas!?" This is what happens when small toy companys make a toy based on a beloved childrens character (which just so happens to be a huge franchise) and dosen't care about the quality and/or source material, they just to make a quick buck with no regards. Also, what's with the lame transformation. It could've been awesome if it became an awesome super robot. Great video BTW, leo.
Woah. I knew there were Thomas Knock off products as I had seem some of them in one of your Return of The Mad Bomber vlogs, but I didn't think that some one would go to such a crawy extent. Especially that last one. Geez. I don't think I have ever seen a more messed up Thomas toy set in my life. Thomas and Transformers do not go together-I didn't even care for that movie. Great review Leo. I really do like what you have to say. Oh one more thing, I really liked the Star Wars Reference.
Here's my Rank on the thomas clones #1 6/10 no idea why #2 6/10 for cloned Tomy track #3 2/10 because of the realistic faces #4 5/10 because they got the correct Thomas color #5 0-O
