Bootleg toys and merchandise can be quite fascinating, especially when barely anyone knows anything about them! Today, we discuss a set of Sonic The Hedgehog plushes from Thailand, that replicate the famous Sonic The Fighters plush set. What are their origins? Who made them? ...well, I don't really know, but we sure can talk about them!

These bootlegs look hilarious, and are extremely off model, let's take a look at them!

Thank you for watching!

  • They fall in the "so ugly they're cute" category. I personally love them! There's just something about that innocent/durpy look on their faces that just make me smile. Isn't that what owning a plush is all about?

    WHY HASNT ANYONE TOLD ME THERE WAS A KING KOOPA BOOTLEG PLUSH someone has to tell vinny and joel about this
  • @littlespeck
    Metal Sonic looks like he’s REALLY had enough.
  • I genuinely adore how goofy these unofficial STF plushies look, it’s almost charming in a weird way. I honestly wouldn’t have minded if they were legit.
  • @pangoldie
    Bark looks so stupid i need him immediately
  • @HaitaniMasayuki
    I love how the creators of these plushes, as well as the creators of the UK-based Sonic the Comic got Amy's spikes wrong because of that initial Sonic CD artwork
  • @Cent_Reviews
    In the transformers community we call unofficial figures of character who haven’t gotten hasbro or takara figures, 3rd part figures

    For a second I was worried there would be no obscure 2000's reference, but then I saw phineos at 13:01 and took a collective sigh of relief.
  • that bootleg metal sonic breaks my humor even more than i thought
  • @SBMBMPSPPS69
    We not gonna talk about how Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and especially Eggman look more like the suction cup plushies than the STF plushies?
  • @Poyostar
    yeah, I Think that King Koopa Plush MIGHT be My New Favorite Bootleg Mario Plush. it Looks so Impressive for a Bootleg!
  • @TailsFan92
    Honestly, despite it being a bootleg, I would jump at the chance to get a King Koopa plush.
  • @premiumplush
    I will be the one to admit it but I really want the "classic knock off" drybones for nostalgia.
  • @ChristopherMoom
    My mind is telling me these plushes don't look THAT funny, but I can't help but laugh at them anyway.
  • Also holy SHIT, where did you get those Mexican Sonic knockoff plushes?! I need that Metal Sonic Mk. II in my life.
  • ...Okay, I can't be the only one who thinks that these look like those derpy dolls of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles from Gamma's story in Sonic Adventure
  • @aluigiFromKart
    At least Metal Sonic doesn't have vinyl to compensate how he looks. Interesting
