I need more dogthra in my life.

He really stole the show 😆

Dogthraaa oooh dogthraaa

[@Gusano-ef9ku]

Same here

[@Bathroomlogic2023]

[@jacobc8036]

I feel the Monster Tube Godzilla could easily be repurposed for someone’s Diorama or miniature. He could be a guy who is enjoying a day at Comic Con wearing a sorta accurate Godzilla costume.

[@andychen828]

I totally agree with the Z force idea, they fit perfectly as the enemies of the G force team.

[@disposable_income_andy]

Yeah, stuff like that was huge in 90's toy lines too, even Lego did it with space police

[@yourtimetraveleralara]

Yeah me too

[@stellanchang6328]

Zilla Force VS Godzilla Force

[@DrZet1966]

Fun Fact: A display of some of the Soft-Vinyl Godzilla bootlegs can be seen in one of the giftshops at Dinoland USA in Disney's Animal Kingdom.

[@mrsaintsgodzilla21]

Oh man, I’ve been looking forever for a big fella. I had no idea that they had a Spacegodzilla (my personal favorite Godzilla villain) inspired variant and now I’m loosing my mind lol.

[@thepaleoenthusiast]

7:52 i laughed so hard because I didn't expect it

[@christiandenault7606]

The figure at 5:11 looks much like the vintage 8" Bandai Godzilla '91 that I own!

[@mightyfilm]

I wouldn't doubt that big Korean figure set IS based off a knockoff TV series. We're all aware of Korean made bootleg Japanese series due to their...let's say history together. I remember Phelous doing a review of both a bootleg TMNT toy set AND the ripoff movie it was based off of. Very unnerving. Really ugly rubber suits based on the original action figure designs. That said, I just all the sudden remembered Fiveman is the actual name of a tokusatsu series. I forget if they look like that or not. Catchy theme song, though.

[@JayStrang1]

Yes! That set immediately reminded me of Our Friend Power Five and it's mashup of TMNT and mecha toys.

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Lol I had the big rex when I was a kid. I hated those awkward wood pieces on his feet so much that I ripped them off. Other than that it was a fantastic toy and knockoff

[@jacobc8036]

If you make Dogthra merchandise…you wouldn’t need Buyee! An Andy Butterfly would sell!

[@OPTIMISTKIND1776]

Yeah I had a big rex and had no idea it was a knock off brand. Totally thought it was Godzilla himself. ^_^ I got it as a birthday gift and used it to chase my friend around with it who was absolutely terrified for some reason.

[@fizz576]

Man bootleg figures are almost as interesting as the official stuff I hope you cover some more down the line.

[@bulkhogan3017]

I had this purple Godzilla, probably about 9” tall and his fins looked more like shark dorsal fins. It was sold alongside a Gigan with 2 fingers instead of blade hands and it also had 2 eyes, it was yellow and green. I remember getting them from our woolworths, where I’m from they had a section separate from the regular toys that were products from Japan.

[@chickennuggets9792]

I also had a shark-fin godzilla i got by my dad when i was like 5, but all the fingers where missing for some reason

[@Kaijuclaws]

Yeah! Big Rex!!! I had him as a very small kid and he broke sooooooo fast. The smoke effect was cool though. I remember him roaring too.... But that was probably just grinding gears. :p Also, A+ ending. I was so excited, afraid, and relieved.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

9:50 Saw that on amazon the other day, but they didn't show the Mothra or Godzilla figures on the product images

[@alanblanks]

Yeah MIB I'm gonna be needing an entire channel of Dogthra now. Bootleg Anguirus looks more badass than Gigan.

[@KazeVersa]

I used to watch alot of your videos when I was young, I'm glad that the channel is still going

[@williamreed3739]

There was a Godzilla knockoff toy I remember from my childhood. My local dollar store one Halloween was selling these miniature figures of classic movie monsters. They had kong, a generics werewolf, mummy etc. but one was a Godzilla knockoff that was just called “king of the lizards” and the artwork in the packaging was just a straight up stolen picture form Godzilla 1954. I googled it and the line was called “Creepy Classics” and it came out in 2006

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

See part 1 of this video!

[@etiennegrimes775]

2:24 it is 2am and this shit was way funnier that it is allowed to be 😭🤣

[@emperorkiva8063]

5:03 Fun fact: Characters on the box are the Dai Sentai Goggle Five from 1982

[@GoofyAhhGooberlicious]

Damn, the G man has seen better days.

[@805hazuka3]

I had the flame zilla! I’ve had it around 13 years or so though , I still have it I think

[@jenniferthomas999]

Me as well until a few months ago.My cat knocked it down and broke the flame effect Man I was furious

[@zoltanperei4789]

2:10 Godzilla on helium.

[@mineandforever2877]

That 100 monster tube would be a great for people who paint miniatures I can see some great ideas to test like a green or purple reptar version of godzilla or a pokemon verson of mothra

[@gingersmith748]

The bootleg squeaking Angurius looked like it was in the same pose as those old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cookie jars.

[@flutterzilla7714]

How about you use Big Rex in the Monster Island Buddies show? He could be a sort of long lost cousin of Godzilla or an alien creation using his DNA.

[@eruweraallen6484]

iv been subed to you since i was 8-9 now im 16 dont over stop making vids love you man

[@eyeoftheredgiant]

i actually remember having some mecha godzilla bootlegs

[@marlenevelazquez8365]

nice video MIB i think the best part of your video was when it should BIG FELLA when you said he makes wired gestures that made me laugh so much that it took me 10 minutes to continue the restof the video

[@BurnRoddy]

There's a Honey Baby Godzilla Jr. (The one thst looks like Minilla) I know this because I owned one. And they come in various colors. I remember three variants light green with dark green dorsal fins, gold with red eyes, and silver with a light shade of silver for its hands. I know they're pretty wierd. I couldn't pinpoint the date exactly but I'd say anywhere between 1996 to 2000. So I'm willing to bet they came out way earlier than that, like 1992 or something alike.

[@mfkrwill]

gotta love a "Sting pulling off a mask to reveal Sting" type jokes

[@Xephonet]

dude this is my favorite KZbin channel

[@bakie123-vc4on]

4:37 i litteraly bursted out laughing cus i jus realized thats shreck😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Hewylewis]

Damn it, I was hoping this wuld be a crossover with Phelous! LOL

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

I’d love to crossover with him if he were down!

[@Hewylewis]

@@MonsterIslandBuddies Why not ask?

[@GodzillaLegendary2014]

In 1:11 the monster island bootleg it maked me laugh so hard😂😂😂

[@Mothcee]

Is it just me or does Big Rex look like The Rhedosaurus from The Beast from 2000 Fathoms who decided to stand on two legs?

[@midwestmonster9886]

When I was a kid, I remember having pencil-toppers shaped like Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and King Caesar.

[@elmono6299]

I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of these bootlegs at Swap Meets or various discount stores.

[@mikekomarinski]

I think Gigan's sad because of his family life.

[@MisterSouji]

They had a knockoff Godzilla movie in 1998.

[@e2011ugdia]

4:55 and as the title suggests it has a figure of godzilla and a figure of the blue ranger from super sentais fiveman (which is the japanese equivalent and source of power rangers)

[@v.m.9198]

I need a bootleg monsterverse yesterday

[@OldSchoolCurt]

The jet jaguar sweater is the shit!

[@Gojiman1964]

1:17 Wtf godzilla

[@Spinoyt6166]

Still waiting for the movie Rebirth of Dogthra...

[@mikekomarinski]

6:52 I thought The Beast from Hollow Mountain had a long tounge.

[@mm39607]

Ah yes, my favorite Godzilla form: Big Fella.

[@disposable_income_andy]

Not sure if it counts, but while browsing ebay I once found a "Godzilla vs. Jesus playset" and it was figures of Godzilla (in his 2002/03 appearance iirc) and, well, Jesus Christ, in a bag with a label.

[@theamazingguy5502]

The twins are the shobijin for battra or at least trying

[@ryderwilliams5691]

I feel like a better name for the Z-force would be "Zilla Force"

[@grimcube8655]

you should get the super 7 masks they are on the website

[@TheGodzillafriend]

When he said let play the bill i thought that he will go to buyee and buy some bootleg Godzilla

[@CaptainRufus]

I love squeaky toy Goji.

[@Hollowearth-goji]

Are you gonna do a dogzilla? We need more dogthra.

[@Spinozillosaur]

I do love watching a grown man play with children’s toys

[@Mechagodzillareturns56]

4:51 This was actually the Korean version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or just a different series altogether

[@METTEG.__thegoat]

I actually found a z force character at my local deseret industries but didn't buy it

[@brycevo]

Gotsilly is also pretty cool

[@Kamacuras_edit]

I need big rex in my life

[@SirPentious37]

0:16 HAHAHAH AM DEAD💀

[@IAmSteven1835]

Wow Honey Baby Anguirus sure is strong. Look at his body

[@TheStellerclear]

G-Force fights traditional Godzilla... Z-Force fights Godzilla 98, or "Zilla" as he's been named?

[@GrubTubbus]

What about the horror 2 top trumps which had a straight up gigan called “the living gargoyle”? Does this count?

[@X23ReZ23X]

I remember my Big Rex, the smoking mouth and glowin eyes were my favorite

[@katgore17]

I’m not talking about the big wax I’m talking about the the big knockers. Godzilla figured that you were rude in the that you were viewed in the first knock off Godzilla video of the first part one so it’s about 15 inches tall I think it’s so it’s a little bit taller than the imperial Godzilla where is the big Rex is about the same size as an imperial Godzilla

[@Bucky749]

Ain’t no one stronger the. Mecha Godzilla Ali !!

[@Godzillerk]

The knocker twins, they will knock you off!

[@user-titantvman2]

5:13 looks like heisei

[@sargeman]

I still have the flamezilla night light

[@SnakeLordProductions]

Dogthra 10/10 nice 👍

[@sum_gie]

I didn’t have it…. BUT I WANTED IT!

[@mari-du7wl]

the glasses z force figures look like characters from will smiths wild wild west

[@Aurazilla]

The figure should be called David dementia

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

[@joshmartin4914]

I'm shocked the knock off Gigan didn't make this list. That's my favourite by virtue of, unintentionally, giving an idea of what Gigan looked like before becoming a cyborg.

[@ConstantineFurman]

If they ever try to show us Gigan pre-cybernetics and it doesn't look like that figure, I will outright disregard it Nick Fury-style.

[@tenyokensekia8088]

I always wondered what he looked like pre cybernetics. Like, did he Naturally have hook hands and feet, or were they grafted on? The buzzsaw was for sure AFTER the surgery, but a lot of him is kinda a mystery.

[@ConstantineFurman]

@@tenyokensekia8088 All we know officially is that Gigan is a "space dinosaur."

[@Motolmang]

there's concept art people have done based on the descriptions given from the novel prequel of the Netflix trilogy where Gigan was actually a heroic monster controlled by the aliens where he started off as a pure monster but after every fight with Godzilla Fillus he got more and more fucked up and turned into a cyborg. You can find concept art for it pretty easy. It's the closest we've gotten to official pre-cyborg gigan.

I can't believe it! MIB really did a face reveal. And he looks good!

Hey MIB, I currently own a fully functional Big Rex figure. The walking feature still works believe it or not. It was bought for me by my grandma YEARS ago at a yard sale. It’s a sentimental item in my collection. Holding it very close in dearly in my collection to this day.

[@Katarn84]

I had a very old Godzilla KO, which my brother named “his majesty” some 15 years before we ever heard about Godzilla (we were around elementary school years, maybe even before that). It was a green vinyl t-rex with stegosaurus plates on his back that looked like he was shouting in pain after stepping on a lego piece. Since it had the plates, we decided immediately it was better then a “normal” T-Rex, and it became the king in our dinosaur toys collection.

[@MARIO1UP2000]

6:03 I would watch the crap out of “Kaiju don’t pay rent” if that was a real thing.

[@Cobalt_Spartan]

Sounds like a Japanese slice of life manga

[@brevin630]

That Fiveman Dinosaur set is peculiar to me. It uses art from the series Dai Sentai Goggle-V, including ripping off the logo, but the name itself is ripping of Chikyu Sentai Fiveman, which, unless I'm mistaken, never aired in South OR North Korea. Weird.

[@mb-15navalcommander61]

That's not even mentioning that the Google-V never had a Green Ranger!

[@dalekloaf143]

[@MonsterIslandBuddies]

I’ve NOT

If there's G-Force which stands for 'Godzilla Force', does that mean that those bootleg G-Force figures with the Z on their armour are the 'Zilla Force'?

11:57 When you try to remove MIB's mask, he has another one underneath. You keep trying to remove it, but there is many more mask he is wearing. "When I say Secret Identity, I mean Secret Identity."

[@diorraices9013]

I understood that reference

[@EvilOttoJrProductions]

My favorite bootleg is the "pre-cyborg Gigan" by Dor Mei. Back in those days China seemed to try to skate just on the inside edge of infringement with their knockoffs, making minor changes, and with this one they accidentally made a really cool concept: Gigan, but with no robotic parts, normal claws, and two eyes. I don't think Toho has ever officially depicted a pre-cyborg Gigan in any official media (although if anyone would know otherwise I'm sure it'd be MIB) and it's really neat that in trying to avoid getting sued, Dor Mei unintentionally made something much cooler than just a simple knock-off. It's 9" tall and comes in either a normal brown or psychedelic yellow/green/orange version; I've got the brown one and it's a really cool find.

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]
