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.

[@jamiewiesner135]

I had that Triple H action figure and I can say it looks more like the guy who works at a job he hates but doesn't know how to quit.

[@sirgalahad1376]

So… it’s just like real life Triple H?

[@jamiewiesner135]

@@sirgalahad1376 pretty much

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Can't wait to see jade cargill figure For WWE. Don't get me started on the adam Copland figure for AEW.😂

[@daortsae]

Funny story, I have the jericho edition. Loved it nonetheless

[@troywright359]

I thought you meant the first one, then I saw 5:28 and I burst out laughing

[@Hughjundies69]

3:21 There's an interesting story about why that Mark Henry is only wearing trunks. That's because it was originally going to be part of a hot tub two pack with Mae Young. Apparently it was going to include a hand accessory, too.

[@JamesMMcCann]

You 've no idea how much I want this to be true.

[@everyonelovesmajima]

That’s the magic of wrestling, you can just make it true in canon from now on.

[@frank_fick]

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]

​@@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.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Sting look tired after a night of Partying.

[@EllieNotSoSmelly]

That clip of Zoboomafoo caught me of guard. Great vid as always

[@burritoboy2751]

That's not Steve Austin, that's Gillberg! 😂

[@ChibiMotoki]

I was gonna say horace hogan, but gillberg is much more fitting actually...

[@andrewmartin4416]

Pretty much every shirt is so much better than the shirts put out by wresters and wrestling companies. I DIED at "When We F*CKING"

[@MednaTheFox]

2:14 I feel sorry for the unblessed eyes who have never witnessed the unmatched beauty that is Zaboomafoo.

[@BBall0027]

3:38 My cousin had a lot of the Flex 'Ems and let me tell you, the rubber smell of those stayed on your hands until you washed them.

[@mushroomsamba82]

I think the traumatized RVD fig was my favorite

[@LarsOfTheMohicans]

Somebody laced his weed with something and it's REALLY not cool.

[@thereturnofharlem9030]

Do more Bootleg merchandise please. It's hilarious 😂

[@JLvatron]

You mean "SVD" ? lol

[@kawimason361]

😂😂😂

[@RC99_Productions]

I believe that Triple H figure at 04:07 was later resold in a double pack with Rikishi. They were displayed in their plastic with Triple H actually doing the Pedigree to Rikishi

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

I think it was the other way around. The Finishing Move line was originally double packs and were released separately later on.

[@GraveKnives]

10:33 That's the well known Krock. The Rock's TRUE Arch Nemesis.

[@MackGeddon]

You know the video is gonna be gold, when it opens with one of the best WCW themes ever

[@JonathanFournier]

What theme is it?

This is why KZbin was invented. Looking forward to part 3

[@PedroBenolielBonito]

4:42 Smiling Brock Lesnar is doing a stellar job painting and decorating, and he's super friendly as well. He'll definitely get a call again next time.

[@TheWeightsOver]

I think the best part of the bootleg figures is the fact they all come with 18-pack abs 🤣

[@kevynhansyn2902]

Rrrrrrriiiippppppeeedddd Like Jesus!

[@firstnamelastnamesb]

Not even just the bootlegs. The Samoa Joe figure in this video was an officially licensed TNA product and he was slim and rocking chiseled abs, lol.

[@TheWeightsOver]

@@firstnamelastnamesb hahahaha good point!! I wonder if he felt good about it, or simply embarrassed lol

[@t.v.rockwell4504]

14:23 That's the official mascot of SCJerk. Guess Goofy really did hit the bricks.

[@thebranchise]

The action figure on the He-man style body made me feel an actual rush of anxiety for some reason. Don't possess it, or it may possess you.

[@MonoCronic]

"And he's afraid of what he might do to his loved ones" sent me crying. Love your content so much dude, your videos keep helping me in my worst days, thank you, mister Bios. Thank you.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

The WWF shirt tho😂. When we oh boy you'll get kicked Out the arena wearing that.

[@colletti914]

"...Sting on the other hand wants your assistance in ending his life as soon as possible." Floored me. These might be my new favorite series.

[@scotttrammell3913]

Oh dear God, the terrifying thing about all of these things is they actually passed muster.

[@Thebigbad1013]

I was hoping you'd make more of these as I really enjoyed the first one. Wrestling Bios just never disappoints!

[@bradleyrocks618]

Same when it ended I was like dang but he ended it by saying he could go on for hours which made me hope

[@timbartschwolfman]

That Goofy Figure is a Crime against Wrestling

[@Earlyterrorhead]

😂

[@JLvatron]

Then it Definitely belongs in the WWF!

[@jeremyc9593]

Poor Pluto. Not only has he always been a dog who can't speak owned by a dog who can, but then gets an artwork of himself getting his ass kicked by said owner on the box of his owner's own wrestling figure, yet doesn't get a figure of his own.

[@chrisbell9075]

Bro you have GOT to do more of these, they are hilarious & I absolutely love them! 😂😂😂

[@XKTwentyFive]

That Flex 'Em Shawn Michaels figure has me dying laughing!!

[@McPoshSquatch]

I've actually got a couple of those WCW activity/coloring books in my collection. Haha. Another great video. Sure hope we get to see more of this.

[@jonsprong1842]

That knock off Hogan at approximately 11:22 looks like Randy Hogan with a mask lmao

[@JLvatron]

Your comments were amazing! 5:36 I think Honky is trying to intimidate his opponents by showing them "This will happens to your neck after a Shake, Rattle, n Roll!" 11:04 This is Hulk Hogan from Wrestlemania 9, he's wearing Brutus The Bionic Beefcake's face protector. 6:31 Unfortunately this WWF shirt is quite indicative of their whole marketing during the attitude era.

[@mbk907]

I literally laughed out loud at “broken neck honky tonk man needs some help”

[@Jakes_Freyed]

Im young but I remember them figures with the rubber arms always looking terrible

[@kawimason361]

😂😂😂

[@Sh0tgunJust1ce]

I loved the random Zoboomafoo reference.

[@clayrester9342]

5:02 the box says "Henning" a real Wrestling Mandela Effect....

[@musicmanfl23]

At 14:43 thats actually the mexican wrestling legend Octagon from AAA

[@B.-T.]

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.

[@Bucky749]

Neat glad there’s a part 2 . Maybe there will be 3 and will get a trilogy

[@sandyakabatteriehuhn]

I hate that I did go "Oh, I want that" multiple times 😅

[@PhantomOverlordX2]

The Hogan on the thumbnail looks like Bulk Bogan from Hardtime lmao.

[@miterbenisdurty3862]

Idk about you guys but in my neighborhood growing up the Ice Cream man sold WWF ice cream sandwiches that came with a free trading card. Later they switched them to the Xmen animated series.

[@TheSerpentsEye]

I loved the last video so much. Thank you for making another one of these. Cheers!

[@yrnxthing]

DUDE YOU UNLOCKED A CORE MEMORY I def found a WCW Nitro coloring book at a garage sale when i was like 7 (so around 2005-06) I remember a one page having Eric Bischoff cutting a promo

[@mrbransformer4184]

Haha that’s zaboomafoo with those Pratt brothers

[@FreshPrinceofGA]

The bootleg figures should be advertised as Dads in cosplay 😂

[@slickrickstyles]

i lost it way too hard at the frog...great stuff

[@blacksawjohnnyhex310]

Awesome video hope you do more of these

[@bletty]

I need for you to do a collab with Ashens for more bootleg wrestling figures! Would be amazing!

[@HulkHands54]

Another awesome video. Bonus points for the "black heart" music at the end 🤙🏼

[@coreystull7287]

lmfao the zaboomafoo always comes back

[@sabilsadat]

I remember seeing a bootleg Triple H figure as a kid where he wore Randy Orton's gear and had Orton written on his undies lmao

[@JustinTyme116]

When you said “it’s goofy”, I wasn’t expecting an actual Goofy knockoff. 😂

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I one hundred percent owned that knock off Sting at 10:15, I'm like 99% sure I got him at Target or KMart.

@2:30 I actually had a classmate in middle school who had the WCW coloring books!!! Truly nostalgic

[@jeremynelson5311]

I had them too!

[@rasmusdegn9690]

Honestly if you put that '98 Austin figure in that packaging it would be a pretty decent Gilberg figure.

[@danberry20]

10:12 Your delivery of that had me in a laughing fit so hard 🤣 Can just imagine a failed Sting clone in some top secret government lab somewhere being found saying "Kill me..." & 4:33 😂 Brock being super helpful setting up the ring. LMAO

The last wrestling figures was Octogan from AAA.

5:30 It's Gillberg, surely?! 😂

[@96Thompson]

11:05 Oh wow, I remember having that when I was a child. It was one of those thumb figures. I had another one of someone else too. I don't know how or where they got it but it was in the house with the rest of the toys back then.

That Farooq was supposed say DAMN on the shirt but was a last minute change from Jakks

[@Pariahcarey34]

One of the best parts of that horrible purpling Hogan/Warrior two pack is that the Warrior is just long haired Andre with face paint.

[@MusicNotes2024]

I had the Triple H finishing move action figure along with Rock, Austin, Hardy Boyz and Jericho lol. Whatever series that Curt Hennig wcw action figure was, i also had Nash, Sting and Giant. I'm pretty sure they were Christmas presents

Yeah, I remember back in the 90s wondering what WWE was thinking allowing Jacks to make their action figures. They looked horrible! The WWF figures from the early 90s were awesome and actually looked like the wrestlers.
