Galactic Gladiator (Blow Molded Galaxy Warriors) - Bootleg Zones

[@mutalord]

If earth is ever cursed with living toys, Phelous would had the biggest and WEIRDEST army ever

[@Maswartz226]

The Baltards would take their revenge!

[@ColonelMustache]

I like the faded paint on Thorg makes it look like his helmet is just a giant growth extending from the top of his head.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Yes, it's like donkey's kong cowlick

[@PunksterOS]

Mind blown, literally.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

This hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

[@RokuroCarisu]

Diggy Diggy Hole!

[@Amesang]

The Blag'ole…

[@gwendolynstata3775]

seriously, someone needs to get on making a flow chart, I literally can't keep up with which company ripped off which figures

[@viscountrainbows6452]

The bootleg aura is so powerful, it even knocked Phelan's mic quality down a notch.

[@dcflake5645]

Waiting until Phelan find a series of Galaxy Warriors that are literally more flimsy than the card they come on. Toilet paper warriors perhaps.

[@vincentseeger9367]

Hahaha yes!

[@gracekim1998]

🤣mmm that would be priceless

[@felineki]

"I haven't seen another blow-mold line like this yet." Thank goodne... "At least ones with this exact body type, I have seen other blow-molded Galaxy Hole figures." OH FOR FU--

[@cindychung7002]

I’m guessing Argon was a Jason and the Argonauts reference, since he was Triton before, so a sort of sea theme maybe?

[@LadyCoyKoi]

Nice observation and good catch on that reference. ^_^

[@boobah5643]

@AT Productions Not even you believe that. If you thought it was a novel, you'd refer to it as _The Eye of Argon._

[@Tareltonlives]

@AT Productions Now I want to see a Eye of Argon action figure set...made of blow molded Galaxy Fighters. GRIGNR! AGAPHIM! GIANT RODENT! THE PRINCE!

[@BloodrealmX]

@@Tareltonlives CARTHENA! AGAFND (OR IS IT AGFND?!)! BOVINE ANTAGONIST! PRIEST/SHAMAN!

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

10:11 Never expected Phelous to make a Don't Hug Me I'm Scared Reference.

[@wstine79]

Got to be creative.

[@LadyBrightcynder]

@@wstine79 He uses his hair to express himself.

[@masonjam]

[Looks at Galaxy Warriors] Let's all agree to never be creative again.

[@SsnakeBite]

At least these figures aren't selfish, they blow as much as they've been blown.

[@SmartassX1]

The white guy with the orange body is actually one of the most realistic ones, since real body-builders normally cover their bodies in shiny slightly darkening goop before a performance. They do that to make their muscles have more visible contrast and thereby seem "better"/shinier.

[@matthewdunk]

Oh no! The hole keeps on getting deeper. Also, green Baltard should be called "Moldtard".

[@CDRiley]

What about Snotard?

[@SpaceManRD]

Whenever I see anything blow-molded, it reminds me of going to the zoo as a kid and using one of those Mold-A-Rama machines... half the time they'd have holes or otherwise wouldn't come out quite right, so I'm kind of impressed at how good these look for what they are, thin spots aside.

[@culwin]

You're doing a real service to the Galaxy Warrior collector/fan community.

[@ser6Ijvolk]

Who were these for, you ask? "Hello! I'm here to buy a car!" "Perfect, we just had the newest Mercedes delivered to-" "No, no, no, something MUCH cheaper!" "OK, we also have a Toyota model from a few years ago." "No, even cheaper than that." "Uh, well my cousin is selling an old rusty Zaporozhets that he used as a prop in his independent movie about the gulag." "Perfect! Now, I was also looking to buy some toys for my kids, could you suggest something?"

[@nexusgiga]

They open the hood of the car and the engine is just paper

[@glebthereviewer]

Lore Time: Matubi is the real name of Spikes before he became whatever he is in Galaxy Warriors. Also, Galaxy Heroes Baltard is now Galtorb and is a father figure to Baltard.

[@heidifedor]

Yep! These blow alright.

[@planescaped]

Ah that classic trio of gods from Norse mythology... Odin Argon Thorg

[@dubuyajay9964]

Thor was in one of the other sets.

[@wstine79]

It wouldn't be Friday without something crazy from Phelous.

[@fyrbornxtg5000]

Matubi gets back up and removes his helmet it was Anubi all along. Anubi: just another way to kill me a Baltard.

[@Br4veDave]

I love how much research you do related to the movies and toys you review. I always learn something new. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@furonguy42]

Rest in Pieces, Thorg. We'll remember you for your see-through knees. Maybe. Actually, I'd rather not remember any of these things, knee-opacity be dammed!

[@heiselproductions_01]

“Hey guys, what color do we make the bodies of these Galax- er, uh I mean, Galactic Gladiators?” “Alright Larry, Spin the wheel of NONSENSICAL COLOR VARIETY!!!”

[@phreakazoith2237]

if we would not have the packages of these bootlegs proving otherwise one would assume some very bored kid just stuck random heads and bodies and weaponry together. But nope, they were all manufactured, shipped and sold. sigh.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Just like the Energizer Bunny, the Galaxy Hole keeps going and going and going and going...

[@visidenvisidane1155]

Draglad loves dressing up as a woman called Draglass.

[@mixwidman5458]

Is this a reference to something?

[@RokuroCarisu]

He's just a sweet transvestite! Don't judge.

[@AndersAndErSjov]

@@mixwidman5458 Lad and lass are British for guy and gal. Also 'drag'refers to dressing up to appear as another gender.

[@Dreadjaws]

Note: Draglad died on the way back to his home planet.

[@phreakazoith2237]

he died of galactic hole flu because he forgot to take his daily dose of Galtor

[@Tareltonlives]

Galtor: Even Balatard won't speak to him

[@crowjb1976]

Who gave this a thumbs down? BALTARD!!!

[@MrZerothejedi]

S.I.L.... Sungold International Licensing... They still liiiive!

[@meowistforlife]

MrZerothejedi holy hell, that seems amazing, good find

[@mamaluigithedonutgal]

I got an ad for a blow molding machine while watching this video. Sure, the machine is meant for making bottles and the like (you know, stuff you'd actually expect to be blow molded), but getting an ad for a blow molding machine on a video about blow molded toys was too hilariously fitting not to mention.

[@peppermintspacecapsule9898]

Happy New Year to Phelan, Allison, and the eessholes! :)

[@Zice033]

🎶ONLY A DRAGLAD, HE REALLY COULD HELP IT ONLY A DRAGLAD, HE KINDA WANNA DO IT ONLY A DRAGLAD, IT’S PHELAN’S RESPONSIBILITY OH OH-AAAAAA-OH🎶

[@boobah5643]

I was hearing Danny Elfman by the second line. _Then_ I had to go back and (consciously) figure out why.

[@mediafinder6442]

Ah. The band Danny Elfman hates and Danny Elfman fans love.

[@yawninglion1677]

"Unfortunately, Green is not a creative color." Oh, Phelan, I love you...

[@TheDeldiz]

"Thorg" looks like a spray-tanned Asterix.

[@scitechian]

@6:13 Blow-molded Thor-Odin reminds me of the helmets from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. @10:36 Blow-molded Huk-Thorg looks like the product of several dozen generations of inbreeding.

[@BATCHARRO]

I mean isn't he, kinda?

[@grillagabe1]

I remember getting two He-Man knock offs that were diecast when I was a kid , in the 80s. One was silver like a robot knight. And the other was a typical barbarian guy. It was so long ago I don't remember what they were called. But they were diecast so I had them for a long time. Been trying to find info on them but no luck. I got them at a Pic n Save in L.A.

[@marplatense31]

When are we gonna get a galaxy warrior bootleg with Phelous' head?

[@KillerCaitie]

Yeah, those figures sure do blow! Which is why this video is for an adult audience of collectors & not for children. >_>

[@HarryStikers]

"Green is not a creative color" Phalan you beautiful bastard

[@Tocat-l4r]

All hail the mighty Thorg!

[@Tareltonlives]

BACK TO THE GALAXY HOLE! WOO!

[@koryandrews1665]

Lmao Green is not a creative color. Nice reference to "Don't Hug me, I'm Scared."

[@sunglassesskeleton]

There's something legit really creepy about the way the mystery 7th alt-Baltard looks. Like something you'd see in one of those cursed images.

[@trevingrayek1671]

It looks like some horrifying creature is wearing his skin and is pretending to be Baltard. And the one on the right at 6:32 looks like a zombie.

[@owllymannstein7113]

that's how all the sad clown Baltards look, although the blow mold one isn't quite the worst.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

Like the one on Evil Stick.

[@stevegeorge6880]

Thorg's been pinning that left bicep so much it's about to pop.

[@jakeshuster9165]

I had an idea for a review the double dragon cartoon that stars Scott McNeil

[@BATCHARRO]

🎵㊙️🉑🎵 To be a Dragon you've gotta be strong, Humble, never braggin'

[@blackroseknight77]

These figures "blow" the mold on their creation. also no Baltard shall come before Baltard so sayth baltard ;3

[@Vherstinae]

Obviously Galactic Gladiator came first, Phelous: Odin is Thor's dad, after all!

[@reilashiryu733]

The skit at the end is the best voice acting I've ever heard. Move out the way, Lego Movie. We have a new toy line movie to appreciate.

[@andrewnaeseth8490]

These toys are fun good research

[@owllymannstein7113]

Finally, a branch of the Galaxy canyon I have no desire to own any of.

[@justmedavid2977]

I was watching some Masters of The Universe when I got the notification. Weird.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I was watching some of Fatimas' videos when I got the notification.

[@metaltornado3457]

7:01 Thorg speaks for the trees!

[@IvanTheVandal]

Can you do a galaxy hole recap video someday? All of these knockoffs are starting to run together in my memory, and the words "galaxy" and "muscle" have lost all meaning.

[@cartoonkelly7924]

At the beginning of the video and I can predict the Blow jokes. The jokes will be about blowing but the jokes themselves won’t blow... oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed...

[@mayorenstein5316]

Phelous:"Did you ever think the Galaxy Warriors needed to get blown?" Me: "Oh god no..." Phelous: "Well they did, as in blown molded, and renamed Galactic Gladiators" Me: "Oh god no..."

[@U014B]

Or maybe Argon was named after the gas, in reference to the fact that they were bl-ehhh, I don't wanna finish.

[@Chezne]

"Green is not a creative color." Nice.

[@RaphBlade7]

It's funny how the Galaxy Hole has both a Thor & Odin due to Thor being renamed Odin in the Galactic Gladiators line, which is ironic given that Thor is the son of Odin in both Norse mythology & Marvel! Wonder if Galaxy Hole Odin is the long-lost father of the original Galaxy Hole Thor!

[@BloodrealmX]

Ygg is actually an alternative name for Odin, so it sort of already had one from the start.

[@planescaped]

Man, rewatching old Galaxy Warrior Bootleg Zones is a treat... I barely remember seeing half of them. :P

[@yokorose]

i want galaxy warriors to get a re-release for now days

[@owllymannstein7113]

You could probably start bootlegging them yourself, it isn't like anyone owns the copyright.

[@RokuroCarisu]

They do seem to be quite interesting characters, and reasonably distinct from MOTU, but... at least half of them directly ripped from Frank Frazetta paintings.

[@edisonlima4647]

Trunk and belt color inconsistency? You spoil us, Galaxy Hole!

[@AndrewColomy]

Spikes just looks like Marvin the Martian on steroids.

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Phelous sneezes. Galactic Gladiators fly into the next galaxy.

[@weirdkitty07]

A local toy store here in California had a packet of 'wrestling galaxy warriors' but they look more like those recent WWe wrestlers than from the galaxy hole. I should get them and review it. I didn't think of it.

[@knyght27]

My favourite part - "This is the cheap version of the cheap version of the cheap version of Masters of the Universe"

[@MegaAnimazing]

*Will this Galaxy hole ever end?!*

[@owllymannstein7113]

Not as long as Baltard lives deep in the heart of all of us.

[@RichterPhallos]

10:11 There's 1 more thing that you need to know. I really like, the Bootleg Zones show.

[@Sean_Bird]

These guys look even more poor then the Galaxy Heroes, and that's just sad. Galactic Gladiators is a cool name, though.

[@Falcovsleon21]

10:10 Was not expecting Phelous to ever make a Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared reference.

[@BATCHARRO]

They could have made Draglad's head red, for that red dragon look.

[@francescagonzalezramos9442]

Galactic Gladiators were awesome!!!

[@Magitek1112]

Funnily, Galtor is rather close to Galtar, which was the name of a the title character from a very He-Man-ish Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Galtar and the Golden Lance".

[@dexstewart862]

That figure of Huck looks so familiar, and I finally remembered a cheap crappy toy I had when I was little! It was a MotU style body with a head similar to Huck's, but it spun around and the back of his head was a skull or something.

[@Maswartz226]

Good god the Galaxy hole really never ends!

[@boeingnz]

if you have a weird head, don't worry just paint it to look like you're wearing helmet.

[@TheMoogleMaster]

Futher down the Galaxy Hole we got, wonder if there's was a line that went for a G.I Joe knock offs, I know there was those action movie knock off figures.

[@dubuyajay9964]

03:35. Well, to be faaaaaiiiiirrrrr....Thor is Odin's Son. But, who knows if the company staff knew that or no, and encouraged a family resemblance by reusing the mold or not? I unnow!

[@171QA]

Great review.

[@renamon5658]

Galactic gladiators sounds awsome if only the figures were as cool as their names

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I gotta say, the Frazetta-style warrior on top of the laser grid would be a beautiful packaging design.

[@eddihurta7173]

That ending secretly had a deep meaning.

[@FrenchPaul1988]

Baltard is dead ?! Ooh noooooo !!! 😢

[@nujevad28]

I hope Phelous would review the MK games' story modes, those are like mini movies.

[@leemcdonald1342]

You maniacs! You have blown it up!

[@blapis-blazuli]

Thorg's got a nice case of jaundice going for his eyes, eesh

[@Ravenite456]

Thorg having bubbles would have driven me mad as a kid, I would have kept trying to pop them.

[@Gripen1974]

I got 2 weird toys that look as they belong in the galaxy warrior hole, but they seem to have very original head sculpts one has black body with a yellow skull head and the other has a red body with a red 2 headed dragon head and they was made in Brazil it seems.

[@Maswartz226]

Love the way you say Matubi

[@TheSomewareMan]

Behold! Thorg Od of Thunderg!

[@LadyCoyKoi]

This Galactic hero hole is just getting deeper and deeper isn't it?

[@debsreno911]

You need to review Simba, the King Lion: An animated classic.

[@planetschlock]

That really is a badass cardback though

[@kaiseryuuki4098]

Cheap and hollow just like modern toys.

[@StarTrekChimera]

Toys in Motion, a US store in California, Milpitas, San Francisco bay area, has wrestling superstar bootlegs! In 2022. You need to get some! The galaxy hole continues in this half bootleg store, half legit store in the great mall. :)

[@GleeChan]

I'm always surprised there are so many bootlegs for a series that was a bootleg to begin with.

[@sensibleGamer]

I want to see someone write lore for the Galaxy hole that takes into account all the "variants" as though they were planned plotpoints. Like, every time you get a figure with a different harness shape than they previously had it represents a point where the switched sides

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

The Galaxy Hole has literally gotten bigger.

[@gokigenyou9524]

Galtor ... they should have named him Blowtar

[@dazwannawzad9272]

Ahhh the Galaxy hole has been blown, and now its bigger.

[@johnhutchinson7343]

I hope someday Phelous is invited on a tour of a factory making crazy knockoff toys, and he can film an assembly line of hundreds of Baltards flying by.
