    Looking at more bad unofficial bootleg merchandise. This time we've got lab-experiment Sting, more Hulk Hogan knock-offs, more bad T-Shirts including low effort Booker T and DX designs, and I also look at some questionable official merchandise that's been released over the years including a WCW/nWo necktie, a Triple H pen and some dodgy WWF / WWE action figures.

      I just heard a story that if Akebono didn’t do his WM sumo match, they were gonna have Henry do it, and this toy was I guess made if they had to do that turn around in a hurry and get Henry sumo merch to WM. It’s insane, but it is WWE, so

    • @firstnamelastnamesb
      @firstnamelastnamesb 11 месяцев назад +9

      ​@@frank_fick Definitely not the case, this figure was released around 2009/2010.
      The actual story behind it isn't very interesting; this Mark Henry was released at the end of Jakks Pacific's run with the WWE toy license, so they were basically pushing out low effort figures to clear out remaining parts and make as much money as they could while they still had the license. Mark Henry figures that released before the one in the video had cloth singlets, and just had painted-on trunks underneath. This Mark Henry was just an older one without the singlet.
      A lot of Jakks' late WWE stuff was similarly atrocious. Nothing quite as lazy as the Mark Henry, but lots of minimal effort garbage. A lot of guys with their attires painted one solid color with no logos or designs.

  • @B.-T.
    @B.-T. 11 месяцев назад +2

    I'm a bit of a wrestling knockoff enthusiast (dunno if I can call myself an expert) so maybe I can provide some clarification on some stuff:
    8:07 and 10:05 Sheiky Baby and the Hulkster's here's quality varies heavily, there's a lot of different releases of it and some have quite good eye paint. Three of the other six figures in the range also sport bootlegged LJN heads and have body colorations that match the wrestler (Andre, Big John Studd and Jimmy Snuka being said four). I got a spare Andre with even worst eye paint than that, but I stripped it off because I wanted to use the head for a custom so no... can't give you a pic.
    8:21 doesn't bootleg any specific character, it's just a generic wrestler with I guess what you can call a "cyborg" gimmick, sold with a wrestling ring with either one or three other figures by Sungold, the Galaxy Warriors guys.
    8:36 isn't a wrestling bootleg, it's supposed to be an Arnold/Terminator bootleg.
    8:43 is a repeat of the later RWC, which is throwing me off.
    8:52 and 9:21 were from Germany by Simba, sold as Wrestling Champs. Bootlegs of Hasbro's WWF parts, "Jake The Snake" was named Punching Paul, the black-haired Hogan was named Catching Tiger. Catching Tiger's pants were custom painted by someone, the actual figure just has plain yellow pants.
    9:13, 9:30, 9:42, 10:14, 11:51, 12:16, 12:28, 13:01 and 14:01 are just.... Original San Francisco Toymaker's molds got bootlegged a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot. Not just as wrestlers either, you can find these warped, de-articulated horrors with heads just as ugly as this sold as kung fu fighters. I don't believe "Vince" is meant to represent the former WWE head at all.
    10:33 I think Rock's adversary is meant to be "blueblood" era Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
    12:42 I think the important part that was missed is that "Ultimate Warrior"'s head is a bootleg of the LJN Andre The Giant rubber figure's head.
    14:22 is a custom figure, not a real bootleg.
