Pokémon Merch, from Shein?? - Is It Worth It?

[@TheThirdGuy]

Spelling mistakes i was able to find on the cards: 25:43 - description - "mabesi t" "sowitness" "mowments" 25:47 - description - pretty much the entire thing, also Susdra 25:54 - green box - "attch" "stys" 26:01 - description - also the entire thing 26:03 - ability - "Onec" / Cruel arrow - "lof" 26:08 - description - "theysmell" 26:14 - description - "pokemon's fullof" "Itbattles "drawingout" 26:39 - description - also the entire thing 26:42 - description - also the entire thing, and "pobémon" 26:53 - description - "Boware" "rabes" "stignal" 27:09 - description - did their space bar break or something? 27:30 - description - it's the same description as cresselia 27:40 - description - "nestingin" "thunderclouds" 27:53 - description - also the entire thing, and the famous shtreon 28:42 - attack - "Clesn hit" / description - "polson sac" 28:44 - "evolves from Gurdurr" / description - some spacing errors and i think it's also smaller than it should, right? 29:06 - description - a lot of spacing errors 29:13 - description - spacing errors 29:15 - ability - missing energy icon 29:20 - attack - "Mda bite" / description - "prolects" and spacing errors 29:27 - blue box - "amy" 29:39 - description - spacing errors 29:47 - "evolves from kadobra" / "30nore" / "thisaccak" and "onche" 30:00 - the entire card is messed up and some spanish for whatever reason Also maybe you could try shopee? it has a lot of stuff.

[@JunkSeeker]

@@TheThirdGuy Woah, you really did comb through these! All of the spacing issues are odd, but seem to be common on these bootleg cards. I looked into Shopee, but it looks like they don't deliver to the US.

[@TheThirdGuy]

@@JunkSeeker oh well that sad

[@renmajima]

I think the holo cards in the shrouded fumbles set are just printed on a holographic cardboard... White in cheaper printers just relies on the paper being white so it's transparent there, there's no white ink at all :P (got my printer license on aliexpress so take it with a grain of salt)

[@JunkSeeker]

@@renmajima Ah, I didn't think of that! That actually makes a LOT more sense than my theory

[@JunkSeeker]

So about that Zacian art on the Uno cards. Yes, that is 100% fan art. I found what I *believe* to be the original artist. It was posted to 2 sites on the same day in 2019. They seem to go by two different handles: Ronkeyroo, or RonniKTaylor

[@pokemoninja92711]

Also, there was only two colors, no blue or red cards

[@JunkSeeker]

@pokemoninja92711 There were two packs of cards in the box, the 2nd pack had the Blue and Red cards. They had the same art, so I didn't take up video time showing them, but I probably should have. You can briefly see the 2nd pack in the vid

[@pokemoninja92711]

@@JunkSeeker that makes more sense, thanks for clearing that up!

[@cosmiccrow5114]

That Fuecoco plushie looks like the official totodile one that people complained about LOL

[@otwayrpg]

The year is 2038. Civilization has fallen into shambles. You travel across the rubble of a ghost town, and stumble upon JunkSeekers destroyed home. ...Before you, lay mounds of Pokemon merchandise, both legitimate and fake, the pile must be atleast a dozen feet tall. You step closer, and a single, ripped up Falinks card flutters down to your feet, before the mound falls over, and consumes you whole.

[@JunkSeeker]

@@otwayrpg JunkSeeker's Pile, sounds like a great SCP lmao

[@Rusycraft40]

Hey as a pokemon expert, I can confirm that the gyarados is an official made only for china but if for outside the country it will look like a different box and name pokemon asia and the rowlet bean bag is also official is a series of bean bag pokemon same for the eevee.Also the pikachu wireless ear phone is official and pokemon uno card is official.If you want to know how to know they are official is called pokemon Asia

[@JunkSeeker]

@@Rusycraft40 I agree with most of this, but the Uno cards I really don't think are. Like, yeah, it would be a REALLY weird thing to bootleg, but that Zacian art is stolen from a fan. Just left another comment on this video a bit ago with info on the image used. EDIT: Tbh, we have seen companies steal fan art before, but still odd.

[@Rusycraft40]

@JunkSeek the uno is fake they try to copy but fail so bad

[@shinylugia]

@@JunkSeekerThey’re real, I have them 😂

[@shinylugia]

Wait why tf does the zacian look like that and why is there a mega blastoise, nvm there are real ones, these are just fake

[@emmareiman64]

The UNO cards do Not seem official to me. Like, I can accept low quality cardboard - though I'd not want to - but the lack of logic & inconsistency when it comes to the mons on the cards, And the Zacian one being fanart? Hmmm.... I don't think so Then again, my brain is trying to convince me that I Have heard of this Uno card mess somewhere before. Regardless though, official or not, it's not something I'd be proud about

[@CaptainAlph]

the zacian randomly just having fanart for its uno card dhndjdjjdkdkd baby that shit is not official 😭😭

[@mimiikkyu]

Compared to other cheap sites like it, I’ve found that SHEIN definitely has the most official products. They’re pretty popular and collaborate with a lot of brands! Still, the products tend to have that cheap quality though. For the price, I think it’s to be expected lol

[@JunkSeeker]

@@mimiikkyu Yeah, I've been told that their clothing is good for the price, just doesn't hold up for long

[@oll-_-llo]

I've definitely found authentic products from brands like Pokemon and Sanrio, usually you can tell which are real by the higher price.

[@crisontv]

Tru

[@annemabrie2287]

And the fact that they're made by Chinese factory workers with horrible wages and work conditions doesn't really make it worth it in my opinion

[@Windwolvesfly]

at 5:34 the text on the back says the set is Silver Tempest, the front is shrouded fable, the cards are from varying sets.. really got their act together on this one haha

[@multieyedkitten]

I think someone else already said it but the reason those holos only shine on the white parts is because most industrial printers don't use white ink, leaving any white parts of the image to be transparent. Those seem to be printed on holographic material and thus the white parts of the card come out holo'ed

[@JunkSeeker]

@@multieyedkitten Yeah, I'm dumb. My brain was on the Photoshop side of things, not the printing process 😅

[@SSeraph_ae]

Toxicroak with the attack “Clesn Hit” 😂

[@beepbeep2347]

the glaceon card said that it "evolves from gurdurr"

[@JunkSeeker]

@@beepbeep2347 That'll be the next gimmick after Tera Types, "Mixed Evolutions". These cards were just ahead of the curve

[@ViViMun]

Monopoly, without a shadow of a doubt, has the most tie-ins than probably any other IP ever. Also, the uno cards are most definitely bootleg. Which is such a weird choice to bootleg. And I just HAVE to bring up the Walking Wake card 😭. "Damagefromattacks usedby chits Pokemonisntaffccd by any effectsonyour opponent's ActivePokemon". Oh but we also see the return of Chis in the attack description too, with: "If your opponent's Actve Pokemonis afected by a Special Condition, chis attack does 120 more damage." Chis issue is clearly gettingrather outof hand🤭

[@JunkSeeker]

Chis comment killed me lmao

[@Rusycraft40]

you are wrong about the uno

[@dinosourkisses6425]

What might help with the headphones situation is something called sleep headphones. They're like a band to wear on your head that has flat speaker in them, so while there may be some noise bleed they should be a lot more comfortable

[@JunkSeeker]

@@dinosourkisses6425 I should look into those. I've honestly been very happy with the Pokemon earbuds tho. It does tend to fall off my ear at night, but that's usually long after I fall asleep. Unironically using them daily at this point
