0:44: Monster Island Buddies, I believe that girl is from the Russian cartoon Masha and the Bear.

[@ScratJitZu]

Yep.

[@ScratJitZu]

That is Masha.

[@mightyfilm]

The very idea of that lame cartoon having the audacity to be on the same card as Saint Seyia and DBZ characters makes me sad.

[@briancoulombe4517]

@@mightyfilm The bootleggers probably didn’t know or care.

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

0:13 yup that’s been my experience for the most part. Damn scalpers.

[@Dalton_stuff]

Me to could not find warbat at all

[@MegatronEnthusiast]

I knew I had no chance in finding warbat or Mecha Godzilla so I got them off EBay in a double pack for $35 which isn’t bad.

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

It’s not bad relative to other scalpers, but it’s still bad. It’s still over what you should be paying. It’s aggravating I hated myself for buying a few toys the other year but I really wanted the characters for my show and every toy store trip was coming up dry. I’m very resentful still - I want kids to be buying these toys first and foremost

[@Mikemegabyte]

@@MonsterIslandBuddies hi

[@mm123gchannel9]

I did manage to get some of my GvK figures from Walmart but the others I had to wait and find cheap listings online. At first I thought I was just late to get them because naturally they will stop selling them at some point, but now considering scalpers and only the battle roars line are the only consistent figures I’ve seen, (or maybe that line just isn’t sealing well in general), I’m starting to get concerned.

[@JohnPannozzi]

0:44 she's from Masha and the Bear, a Russian cartoon that my niece loves.

[@Squarth716]

This opened up a whole new level of nostalgia for me. Coming from a Mexican family who went to Flea Markets every Sunday I grew up with toys like these all the time, I still have a few in my attic somewhere but I remember my absolute favorite was an Anguirus figure that was just solid plastic with no articulation but something about it stuck with me, I used to take it wherever I went, I even took it to Church a few times with my family but just saying as a kid those Mexican bootlegs are more than enough. I only ever had one Bandai soft Vinyl of ‘68 Godzilla from Kmart as a kid and the bootlegs scaled nicely to it and was perfect for it, despite the low quality pain job

[@shaboskinator6344]

Anguirus the devout Christian🙏🛐

[@ratmatat]

Anguiruis is a mad of God.

[@josegarciagarcia6966]

Even if I grew up in Texas and Mexican I had most of these

[@trash44gzgigasmashkaza50]

A kid toy needs imagination too have fun with it

[@darryltheclown7563]

I just came from Mexico, and i saw multiple of these. One of the sets had a gigan but white and blue claws. Wish i took a picture

[@Funkymonkeynfunkyrata]

That actually sounds like a cool design for gigan

[@warririn]

SHUT UP VIVA MÉXICO 🦧

[@Godzillaraier208]

Mexican you are going to die but you'll play my rip off Godzilla versus Con toys dude our toys are way better than Playmates Playmates what did you say oh nothing dude okay that's it prepare the die Playmates saying raps out gun Mexicans oh s*** aboo

[@Godzillaraier208]

Wait what's happening in the garage and that immediately kill them the bootleg videos Monopoly fight with this s***

[@Godzillaraier208]

You why is that poop animal you're trying to f***** up

[@mightyfilm]

I like how, despite the fact this is 2022, and how far toy making technology has come, these still have that amazing pre-80's bootleg figure look right down to the sloppy, minimal painting. It's almost as if someone from Imperial Toys had a time machine, went far into the future to see what Godzilla toys would be like and brought them back and make them their selves.

[@OldSchoolCurt]

Those toys are bad ass! I’ve always loved bootlegged stuff!

[@jacobc8036]

I needed an MIB video RN. Thanks for always coming in, in a pinch. You always mow me feel great

[@SharkArtz]

That girl in pink 0:49 from the first moment is actually something I watched as a kid

[@joshuaschatzle6919]

The bootleg Mecha Godzilla looks better than the actual movie one lmao.

[@Xavier117]

Those Bootlegs are great! I'm from Mexico and it's very common to see this kind of figures! You should buy more, as there are some that are very worthwhile and there are others that are not so good, but in general if they are worth it! They are also good for customizing them. Greetings from Tacolandia xD

[@LuiTheBazui]

Hey Monster Island Buddies, when I went to Mexico, I saw this bluish Type 3 Kiryu with a black tip snd legit bought it. I still have him in my house

[@Gappasaurus]

Bootlegs & knockoffs are endlessly fascinating to collect as you never know what kind of bizarre craziness you’re going to discover next 😄

[@zimdorthegodofpower7955]

0:26: What I find hilarious that's the NECA of King Kong mold but turned into a Mexican bootleg soft vinyl 😂

[@prestonendresmovies]

Hey MIB, thanks again for brightening up the day with the power of an upload! FYI the Endgame sequence I made is my most viewed video! You practically gave them to me!!

[@Epic_blueAxolotl]

Me being Mexican American,this is the reason why I want to go to Mexico 🇲🇽

[@gonzalo600]

No vayas a México cabron ya no ay agua

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Lol these actually look pretty cool, reminds me of the imperial Godzilla figures. They could also be great for customizing and painting

[@MrWesdotcom-WesWall]

They may be bootleg, but they're not half bad. I would certainly have played with them as a kid. I kinda dig MechaGodzilla being able twist his body around like that, it just feels accurate. Also makes me think of MechaGodzilla from Godzilla Domination doing the same thing, which was a move I always loved. Godzilla doing it is weird, but, well it's not the first time he did anything weird

[@chickennuggets9792]

Same here, my first godzilla toy was a imperial godzilla and a Green little godzilla i got in some dinosaur bag when i was 6 or 7

[@Reverend_Sashimi]

We've got Godzilla vs. Kong at home... Godzilla vs Kong en casa...😅

[@ShadeofJeremy]

Great video. I need a set, or two, of these. I'd rather have these than the legit American ones. They just look like they'd be so much more fun. And that translucent Mecha Godzilla, I love it.

[@RandomEditor..]

hope you do a part 2 on this bootleg video,also happy to see you upload again,never give up on these videos M.I.B.. also that girl you saw on the package i think is called masha and the bear..don’t remember

[@daronhybridgaming3165]

0:44 that's masha from masha and bear my siblings like that show but seeing that with Goku and Batman and ect might be a wild ride p.s love your videos mib!

[@stingerk.s.i2116]

Yes , i get the Mechagodzilla mexican bootleg for 7 dollars in a “Tianguis” , after time i get the original for 12 dollars , the quality in the Bootlegs in Mexico is “strange” , if we also talk about the fact that they are made of garbage plastic by default, and to think that there are people who say "MEXICAN PRIDE" when for me they are not even well made to begin with Godzilla molds look like the American godzilla of 1998 with overweight and in the case Kong is more similar to Peter Jackson's Kong but with Steroids and poorly proportioned

[@ShogunStudios]

I like the Mechagodzilla. It reminds me of those transparent Aliens toys from Kenner!

[@nerdsman567]

4:43 - When the cheap bootleg figure has a better character design than the official design. In all seriousness, this bootleg design of Mechagodzilla is WAY better than that butt-ugly Bayformers shit-stain we got in GVK! I’d rather have that bootleg design over the GVK design ANY day! It’s quite sad, honestly.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

I thinks its based on that popular fanart everyone stole for KZbin thumbnails when MG was rumored

[@nerdsman567]

@@jesusramirezromo2037 Still, it's better than the design we actually got in GVK.

[@erickrafaelfloreslara8501]

I own the Godzilla and Kong figures from the second set, but these are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Mexican bootlegs, like an other fairly common bootleg is the imperial Godzilla but scaled down a bit, and they come in different sizes, colors and patterns. One day i even found what it seemed to be a bootleg version of the Mechagodzilla 2 figure by Sh monsterarts, but it was black and red with very little articulation, but the mold really looked identical to the Sh figure.

[@jharkelroad]

I love all of these playtime videos!

[@ThunderSwift99]

There are also huge ones, bigger than neca's 12 inch one

[@giganbutmegathicc8748]

awsome video bootlegs are just special

I love the bootlegs. There are some great channels covering other bootleg franchises.

I’m still missing the Warbat thanks to scalpers 😔 Idk how I was able to get Mechagodzilla

[@benrocha6889]

I'm from Mexico and I really love this, there are others with a more big size that are awesome in the sculpting and painting.

[@SHINOBI-03]

The Godzilla at 3:25 looks like a bootleg of the 2019 Jakks Pacific KOTM line if you ask me.

[@1blancagarcia2]

The Kong toy at 0:29 looks like the og 1933 Kong but 2021 style

[@orinanime]

I was lucky enough to get one regular Godzilla, Kong and MechaGodzilla off the shelves before they all vanished. But I love these bootlegs. Especially that first Godzilla. He's so chunky. Reminds me of Trend Masters.

[@coryames1170]

Damn it MIB! I saw the thumbnail and got the idea that the next episode of the show was already up. And that Minilla and Kong Jr were finally going to square off lol 😆. You crafty sob.

[@Luk_11]

So, as a mexican I could explain a little more about the figures(which are very common to see on diferent places. This figures are obviusly fake,but yes, there are MANY types of those figures, of pokemon, super mario, dragon ball even FNAF figures, and also the godzilla figures, these 2 are the more detalied, some of them have light and even sound, the figures are arround 1 dollar, we can see it on tianguis (very cheap markets), oh and I forgot to say that I have 3 bootleg figures, 2 of GvK and the other one is an enormous thermo godzilla with sound. and yes, I have seen this guys lots of times Pd:sorry if my english is a little wrong, I don't know how to speak it very well Pd 2:there is another kiryu which is very detailed

[@Daikaijustudios9083]

5:38 haha good one

[@ConstantineFurman]

That bootleg Mexican Mechagodzilla is more of a Mechagodzilla than the one in the Legendary film! How the whuck did that happen?!?!?

[@Blandco]

I really like the translucent blue one too! I haven't bought any weird D&D stuff like this online yet but I have found a bunch of the 80s stuff in stores every once in awhile. I will keep an eye out for any Godzilla stuff for you!

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

This is so epic

[@Collector261]

The little girl om the label you pointed to was Masha from the Russian CGI cartoon series ''Masha And The Bear'' , available translated to English on KZbin.

[@thexenohunter5355]

It was one laugh after another with this one M.I.B, nice one. Also, man... I thought I had rotten luck with NECA figures and scalpers.

Those Godzilla figures are really cool they're really something I want them

[@DragoGojieditz]

Well I am Mexican/Jewish, and I’ve never seen those bootlegs since I live and was born in the United States, but I definitely like the real Godzilla vs Kong for my opinion

It has been a while since i went to a flea market where the bootlegs flood almost every stand, but i remember seeing dragonball, pokémon and Ben 10 figurines made out of this translucent colored soft plastic, those were everywhere and also pretty cool

I do have godzilla vs kong playmates toys the toys are the transparent godzilla and kong i got it from walmart but i do agree the bootlegs do be looking sort of nice especially mecha godzilla

[@TheChosenPrime]

The begining skit is super accurate, the only Godzilla vs Kong toy I would find at Wal-Mart was Battle Roar Godzilla but I don't want that, I wanted a Skull Crawler

I myself went ahead and purchased Mexican bootlegs of Godzilla vs Kong figures which included Godzilla,Mechagodzilla, Kong 1 &2 and two Skull Crawlers. I also tested them for led but they came out positive.

[@asdfguy113]

This gives me nostalgia Coming from a Mexican family I'll always get one or two from flee markets as a kid and play with them And sometimes they are better than the real thing

[@Stuffed_Freddy]

Beautiful

[@witzitzilin]

Mexican here, these types of toys can be find on local markets, and some stores that sell cheaper toys. They usually sell from whatever movie or show is popular at the time, for example they used to sell transparent DBZ toys.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

O:38 Of course Mexico would put Saint Seiya, PKMN, DB & Mazinger Z on the same package art.😆

0:45 Marsha and the bear

[@RezDragon]

I can at least hypothesize for you all that the shortage of these figures isn't just scalpers. I've worked at Walmart unloading trucks during their release and I almost NEVER see packages for these toys come off the truck. I only got my Warbat and MechaGodzilla from taking them straight out of the box and that was only one time that I was able to catch it. Playmates just isn't sending them in, at least in my area (no, we can't just order more, it's actually not possible).

[@Nubbbyy]

Nice

[@dannykarlsland9618]

Greetings, I'm Mexican and I live in Guadalajara and those figures are sold at a newsstand near my house and there are even 60-centimeter figures of godzilla and kong

[@numba1monkay299]

Why do I like some of these bootlegs

[@alanblanks]

Obviously Anguris is making these on the side by hand so he can afford rent. He's putting in the work and gonna eventually get his break.
