Thomas Tank Dark Side Knock Off Toys Ep4 My Preciousssssssss

Welcome to Thomas Dark Side episode 4, a curious look into the dark realm of copy and knock off Thomas the Tank products. Thanks to youtuber simierski for posting to me a very nice copy Thomas.
In no way can I endorse these styles of products, they are low quality and often have small parts which easily break away. It should be a very clear reminder to all of us just how good the licensed Thomas & Friends products are.
Thomas and Friends, "Томас и его друзья" "Thomas y sus amigos" "Thomas und seine Freunde" "きかんしゃトーマス" "토마스와 친구들" "Thomas et ses amis" "thomas dan teman-teman" "थॉमस और दोस्तों" "Thomas ei suoi amici" "โทมัสและเพื่อน ๆ" "thomas e seus amigos" "Thomas och vänner" "托马斯和朋友" "Thomas og Friends" "Thomas ve Arkadaşları" "توماس والأصدقاء" "Thomas và các bạn"
Thomas the Train, "Thomas el tren" "Thomas le train" "トーマス電車" "토마스 기차" "Томас поезд"" Thomas o trem" "Thomas kereta" "Thomas der Zug" "Thomas ang tren" "Thomas vlak" "托马斯火车" "توماس القطار" "Thomas a vonat" "Thomas tàu"

When I watched these years ago, I liked to recreate the fake Tomy sets with my real Tomy track. I bought some huge Tomy sets just a few years before Tomy stopped making Thomas products. And believe it or not, my go-to and favorite Trackmaster Thomas at the time (and still to this day) was a HIT Toy Company one, which were only around for like a year or two.

[@danyoo8004]

I also try to recreate the thomas fake toys (With annoying basic train sounds) with my REAL thomas fake toy with annoying sounds like that as a kid **What happened to my childhood**

[@leokimvideo]

I love the weird box art work, that is often far more entertaining than the clone toys

[@leokimvideo]

for some very strange reason I have massive amounts of dislikes on my video's now, anything which becomes slightly popular gets hammered by the dislike trolls

[@leokimvideo]

I can't be seen endorsing those knock off TOMY sets, but I will say at $20 that's a pretty good train set. I have noticed the knock off stuff is coming down in price as well. Thanks for your Knock off all the way from England, that little Thomas train has done more travelling than most people on this planet

[@Britishrailwaystories]

It's strange how much "better" quality the trackmaster related ones are to the other more obvious knockoffs.

[@jctubezzz]

I’ve heard that the Trackmaster knock-offs were made in the same factories that made the official ones but Mattel doesn’t control these factories, resulting in different quality. So that’s why I’m scared to get a knock-off because I watched a video of someone unboxing knock-offs and the engines look pretty slow, which I assume the motor my explode sometime.

[@chucke.cheesesmichiganprod1254]

You know what the real Thomas would say The real Thomas would say “Rubbish!”

[@the-noise.]

No, instead he will say "This is rubbish! What kind of bad copier of me is this?! James, is this you cosplaying as me?"

[@illiniguy34]

4:36- Disturbingly reminds me of that cheesy 80's horror movie, "Uninvited", except done with Thomas instead of a cat.

[@Sangheili_Rawr]

“It will give you infinite pleasure” sounds like an adult toy.

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

Well u see if u look at a pony's eyes like the knock off you'll be heart broken and u think wow why dose this exist and life will be a kinda of ehh cause of the knock off and also the way the knock offs are made

[@memedude8303]

i love some of these knock offs. something about the derpy expression and weird features is just so hilarious and entertaining to me.

[@leokimvideo]

never resist the pull of the ponies

[@suhenadang1714]

Kansas🥰😍😗😙🤑

[@leokimvideo]

hi, I have had plenty of people send me links to the Thomas wooden knock off's which appear on e-bay, from the ones I have seen they do seem very similar to the real Thomas stuff. maybe I should get some and pot them through some destructive testing because we already know the real Thomas toy has amazing build quality, I bet those clone impostors will struggle to survive

[@Blur4strike]

Nice job on showing another installment of the Thomas Dark Side with even stranger creations coming out of the woodwork. The two spinning knock-offs are enough to drive anyone mad with their lights, sound, and spin action. The knock-off Ponies shown in the video make me curious as to how bad they are compared to the official toys once you have time to set everything up for a full installment. As always it's nice of you to touch on the dark side of a toy franchise when few people will.

[@ghastbuster1384]

The red and blue Thomas look like things that could be in a night club! XD

[@ajmum9899]

They look like devil's 😈😈😈

[@leokimvideo]

Just on the labels and Thomas licence info, sometimes a knock off will have false licence info tags, same with the knock off Thomas kids clothes. In a strange way these sorts of knock offs are far more easy to find than the toys. The clothing industry has a huge problem with knock off clothes. Often the tell tale sign is where these items are for sale.

Mr Cool Blue omg I love ur channel!!!

[@bunniculathebunnyvampire4684]

Mr Cool Blue Also that’s a cool gift!

[@leokimvideo]

no, it is a place where you find IKEA, Hobbyco, Target and all sorts of well known names. I was surprised to find these knock offs in what I class normal shopping centres

[@leokimvideo]

The boxes are often the best entertainment with the dark side Thomas stuff

[@TrevortheTrainFan]

Nice Gollum impression!

[@Glamikuns]

I love the dark side videos, they help me find out which toys NOT to buy

[@leokimvideo]

The TOMY knock off's are the most impressive, mind you i did show a LEGO DUPLO Thomas a few episodes back and it was also very impressive.

[@ssliberte]

The last 15 seconds of this video had me laughing on the floor. Great comeback and way to go!

[@leokimvideo]

that punching bag was a nightmare.....important word there is WAS

[@christinevb3861]

I originally found your spider videos and never thought I would enjoy your Tomas videos, but I love these dark side videos, after a tough day they are the best way to relax and enjoy the night

[@leokimvideo]

yep, imagine a Lord Of The Rings and Thomas cross over PARODY....that would be epic...not sure if HiT would enjoy the ride..!!

[@3useptthecreator]

5:27 It's Thomas's preciousssssssssssssssss!

[@leokimvideo]

because this is where trolls come to rest...enjoy

[@leokimvideo]

Barney used to creep me out...I think it was the voice or the sugar coated kids around him all the time

[@leokimvideo]

i'm pretty sure episode 5 will be the BIG BIG Loader knock off, that video was pushed back to allow this one to appear

[@Britishrailwaystories]

My pleasure Leo :) thanks for the shout out, much appreciated.

[@bertramfan1]

YES! I LOVE THIS VIDEOS! Thanks for taking the time to make these

[@jctubezzz]

I remember I had a Thomas back similar to that back in Kindergarten, licensed or not, it still makes up my childhood.

[@LansdaleRailfan]

Thomas: WHY AM I A KNOCK OFF I THOUGHT I WAS THE REAL THOMAS AND NOW IM RIPED OF WITH THESE DARK SIDE CLONES D:

[@sampebbles8174]

I saw a knock off thomas in the market, it was like the "powerful train" design but it wasnt a bump and go, it was a watergun...!

[@ghastbuster1384]

Also be sure to wash your hands after touching these, they are not safety tested, they could have lead paint,

[@JosephGaming]

It would have to be a lot to kill you mate.

[@taylorbird320]

Kubix i know

[@JosephGaming]

@@taylorbird320 I was correcting him, not you.

[@taylorbird320]

I meant I already knew that mate

[@ThomasCollectables]

Brilliant video Leo! Really interesting to see how many Thomas fakers you can find, over here in the UK I very rarely find fake Thomas items. Good point about the labels, I found a bag in a charity shop and thought it was fake, I came back and checked for the label; turns out it is real! Just very basic and old! ;) Great to see the fail real back, love the comment at the end! :D

[@leokimvideo]

well I do look like a punching bag at times

[@RichieDownes]

Nice to see Simon helping. I respect him a great deal also. RD.

[@joesSONICBOOM]

Hey Leo I think it would be really cool to see more stuff of Thunderbirds both classic and modern eras, I would like to know if there's any dark side stuff for Thunderbirds.

[@Naughtydahmer]

Lol wow I can't believe people actually sell these thank you for sharing this it's very good to know

[@Dieselworks123]

those spinning Thomas' remind me of my favorite video game Crash Bandicoot with his signiture move - the spin

[@SteamTeam3211]

I'm surprised by how quiet that knock-off TOMY Thomas is!

[@leokimvideo]

i don't like the imac because you can't get inside without taking it back to the mac store, i do like the pro because you can get in and remove dust bunnies really easily... BUT when will apple update the pro....it's been like that for years and looking a tad old

[@BrucieMagik]

oooook.... man there is some creepy knock off c*** about! please keep the series going, I love it! I do find it very interesting!

[@randomplit183]

I love this one that has been in the toy!

[@tylersalge2846]

i love the fail reel.i am a big fan of your videos.

[@DANDRE94]

You sound like little kuriboh xD but I like the vid

[@leokimvideo]

I still am, BUT many people asked for a merry mix of dark side knock off's, so BIG BIG Loader is pushed back...don't worry it's on the way

[@Britishrailwaystories]

My pleasure! Hopefully if I get the chance to grab it next week, another will be winging its way to you.

[@HunterTWR]

I see James in his livery from the book "Thomas the Tank Engine"!

[@stormcloud9617]

the tomy knock off one is probably one of the highest quality knock off toys of the history of thomas dark sides!

[@lectro_folf2424]

9:14 you spin me right round baby right round

[@leokimvideo]

that's why I stopped eating plastic years ago.!!

[@leokimvideo]

yep, this video should be called Thomas Dark Side Fight Club

[@leokimvideo]

the most asked for fake thomas is those wooden ones getting about on ebay, i have lost count of the youtubers who have asked me to look into the clone wooden thomas toys

[@Britishrailwaystories]

Have to say, I could do with an official Thomas punching bag, what happens in Thomas fight club stays in Thomas fight club...

[@leokimvideo]

also what is it with apple...they do not discount...if i was to purchase $10.000 of their products there is no discount, not even a cheap apple TV thrown in are they so arrogant to feel they are above doing deals..?.....thats going to be their fail because i can remember when apple was almost wiped out by being like this

[@thetrainstation2helpee933]

Also the red one could possibly be a bad attempt at James

[@MrDusty]

LOVE THESE DARK SIDE VIDEOS you rock leo!

[@deano91209]

leo i love the video you make and the epic fail reel is awesome

[@Chickinella]

My 4 y.o. son and I love your videos. They are very entertaining! For both of us! We are excited to watch the dark side of Ponies with my 3 y.o. daughter.

[@mariobabbo3497]

This video made me laugh so much and was kinda clever to throw in a LOTR reference

[@leokimvideo]

the money I spent on the fake Thomas stuff would buy very little Lego

[@therealchillbro5744]

I've. Been watching since 2012

[@sarahb2329]

Wow

[@deadchannel9861]

I’ve been watching since 2012 to

[@Rustbelt_Research]

Thanks For uploading this, I really Like this video, Liked and Favorited

[@22Tesla]

That intro was interesting, stopmotion Creepy Thomas for the win

[@leokimvideo]

the Bronys now have a place, the Lego was given the boot

[@leokimvideo]

and there is the other weird thomas with the baby inside ...like the scene from Aliens

[@Stormysteamie]

17:55 when you're grounded but boxing is life M Y P R E C I O U S S S S S S S S S S

[@TomixNscale89]

The Clone Tomy Models have one Great advantage, and thats a quiet motor. Which Trackmaster and Tomy cant seem to achieve.

[@DoncasterA1Music]

The red and blue ones with the crazy wheels are just creepy. And they "dance," too!

[@leokimvideo]

I use a free program called audacity, from memory I changed the pitch down by 20% To do the FAIL REEL voice it tends to be pitch up 40% and my silly Thomas voice I do pitch up 20%...sometimes 15%

[@jezzmoto]

A soggy pizza box ahahahahaha best description for a bad product yet!

[@OscarTien12]

5:28 I CAN'T HELP IT

[@derpysponge43]

"If you don't like what I make? Why do you keep coming back? GO AWAY!" A message to every hater in the universe.

[@PerspicaciousTurtle]

The red one that no one wanted to buy reminded me of skarloey while it was spinning.

[@leokimvideo]

Your mom has entered the Dark Side......be very careful now..!!

[@taylorbird320]

leokimvideo no urs is jk

[@Cybertitan129]

i was feeling a bit bloated today, thank goodness for your intro, cleared me right out. In all seriousness, you are continuing to make excellent content and i congratulate you for that. keep it up man, you are awesome :)

[@Zmaczimum]

Thomas the Antichrist Locomotive... holy shit the spinning ones were demonic xD

[@rogerkaihonglam679]

My train sounds like an electric blende

[@randomplit183]

Cool ADVENTURE PACK!

[@MrComedy01]

way to show the fail reel haters at the end! I think they deserve a response like that, cause I for one like the fail reel, I feel it ends dark side vids on a high note seeing the outtakes of models failing :)

[@NWR1991]

Out of all the Thomas knockoffs this one is far better looking then the others at 01:18 I'm sure many TTTE fans agree as well.

[@stormcloud9617]

the freaking number one on Thomas was backwards! And to make it even funnier you zoomed it in! :-)

[@SonicJrandSarah]

Red Thomas: Hi Jase, what happened to your 2 in your number 12? Now I just see a 1.

[@soniacastro9894]

NN 0

[@SonicJrandSarah]

???

[@sarah7150]

5:29 I'm laughing

[@wego12456]

that thomas in the intro would of rlly scared me i was like OH GOD when it came up!!! -.- i hate fake toys

[@trainguyrocks]

Count me in! I got one thinking it was the real thing!!!!

[@trainguy111]

Remember thr Kreo Transformers review you did a while back? What if Kero made My Little Pony themed sets?

[@gunlover4758]

hit entertainment if they still have the sets of the old thomas series id buy it from them and the trains etc

[@jodiewilliams2060]

I like the look of the red thomas

[@leokimvideo]

Thomas would pilot Thunderbird 1

[@0903Thomas]

Great vid. People should insult Thomas with they're sheep knock-offs. Also the ending was great and it made a good point. People who don't like you're stuff shouldn't watch it. I also liked how you used you're normal voice for it. But in some ways it seems that if you had used you Thomas or Fail Reel voice it would have ticked them off even more.

[@huggy109isback2]

I think I had one of the Thomas on the title a long time ago

[@MinecraftFreak185]

ikr but even if i bought that i would know that was not thomas! btw you make your videos in your garage right?

[@bibibogie]

i love the fail reel its amusing
