Since its the only plush of him, it'd make sense to get one even if you are a collector. If its a bootleg of a actual official plush, than it'd be bad to get one if you're a collector, but if you just want to have it to play with for fun, and are tight on cash, then getting bootlegs really isn't a big deal. Only problem is you don't really support the actual company that owns it, but if they aren't selling the stuff anymore, then I see nothing wrong with getting a bootleg if you're not a collector. I usually get customs or bootlegs of characters that have zero merch and most likely will never ever get merch, despite being a collector. If there's actually a official plush or figure of a obscure character out there, I'd rather pay big money for the official one than settle for a cheap bootleg or custom. Even if it looks better, I'd rather get the official one.
Yo Japan has it great when it comes to claw machine prizes all I get is a cheap random bear that breaks on the way home without me doing anything to it
My favorite "bootleg" company is OlyFactory. Their plushies aren't really bootlegs as much as easily obtainable custom plushies because that's what they were originally (they make them in fairly low quantities). They make plushies of pokemon and digimon 100% using their own patterns and what makes them so unique is that they usually make plushies of mons that don't have their "official" equivalent! They're surprisingly high quality as well. I think a video about them would be interesting.
I keep seeing that King Koopa plush on Ebay and while I knew it was a bootleg, I also knew for a fact that no such plush exists as a licensed product. I had no idea it was a repurposed pattern of the Sanei Bowser!
Great video, I’m so happy you made a video on these bootlegs since they are arguably confusing for those who aren’t aware of them. I know most people are against bootlegs (and so am I), but I actually don’t mind this set. For me, I feel like I definitely won’t have any of the plushies from the STF set for a long time, so I don’t mind settling for the Amy, Espio, and Bean bootlegs until I can get my hands on the actual ones.
I'm a simple man. I hear PatMac uploads another rare plush history video. I click. (Also, if Geno is announced for Smash, can you do a video about Geno merchandise? Thanks.)
I'm not sure that it's all sun fading, especially teal bean and silver metal sonic- I think that its probably just due to inconsistent materials. There's a lot of old collectibles that have """variants" that are completely due to "the factory didnt have yellow paint that day so they just used brown because they didnt think anyone would care." the original Kenner Luke Skywalker figures comes to mind because they did this with his hair. Or, heck, maybe someone just grabbed the wrong pile of fabric when they were chopping out the pattern. I suspect that quality control for operations like these are pretty low, and quality control for OFFICIAL merch back then was ALREADY pretty bad haha. i dont think its impossible theres more than one teal bean floating around in the wild. i just think that if it was sun fading, it would be more yellowed and not such a blue-teal, and blue DEFINTIELY would not fade to silver like that, no way. If it had been subjected to such high levels of sun exposure as to radically fade the fabric that much, I would suspect that the red and black parts would ALSO be faded, and so would the visible stitching. I think thats just the fabric colour for sure.
If you haven't looked at Segaworld (Sydney from most of my short research is the most interesting), you totally should look into it. At the very least, when it was in operation, they sold very strange off-model based-on-the-cartoon-at-the-time Robotnik plushes that might be right up your alley for part of a video. But more interestingly, the statues that used to hang around said Segaworlds have been showing up in weird places if you feel like looking into that because I know you usually do plushes and toys.
Patmac in bootleg sonic products: I wouldn’t suggest buying and encouraging buying bootlegs Also Patmac: here’s my bootleg collection I ain’t hating, I want em as well
2:25 i dont think you should hate them, usually they are way cheaper then the original for people like me who cat afford many of them. But the ones that are low quality and high priced suck lol
Great videos man! Just recently found your channel and it's gotten me so interested in collections Sonic plushes! Funny enough I brought you up to my friend Bryan and he told me you two knew each other! Small world 😆
I was just playing sonic dash but then, I saw a new patmac video. I had to watch it instead, I nearly threw my phone in joy. But then I realized i need my phone to watch patmac
I wanna buy a 6inch Mario and 6inch Sonic and then I would fuse them to make a 6inch Somari plush. I would redesign him like using Sonics arms spines and shoes, maybe even back spines
History of Pokémon plush next? They have all kinds of interesting sets, from officially licensed merch, to neat carnival prizes! Especially the older and much rarer hasbro sets

Bootleg Metal Sonic will always have a place in my heart.
I heard at 4 in the morning, he breaks into your house and gives you a free Dr Pepper
Bark looks so stupid i need him immediately
Goldie Seems just about right.
You can thank my coutry for creat him
Like me :)
who would'n want a plushie with such a neutral face like that?
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
Oh yeah haitani i see
In the transformers community we call unofficial figures of character who haven’t gotten hasbro or takara figures, 3rd part figures
Burney_Games yup
If only we can have a 3rd party company tackle the Sonic ip. An Omega action figure with diecast parts and features would be sweet to have.
Fluffed up way to say bootleg
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.
A wild bulbasquirtle appears
Huge fan of u
Love your stuff man!
It's Phineas, Not Phineos ._.
That one wojak
that bootleg metal sonic breaks my humor even more than i thought
This bootleg set truly captures all moods
My mind is telling me these plushes don't look THAT funny, but I can't help but laugh at them anyway.
Christopher Moon DAMNIT
Pretty much ya
I keep seeing you every other video I watch
Very funny, you laughed
(Parody of not funny, didn’t laugh
Really then I guess we have good tastes in videos
We not gonna talk about how Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and especially Eggman look more like the suction cup plushies than the STF plushies?
yeah, I Think that King Koopa Plush MIGHT be My New Favorite Bootleg Mario Plush. it Looks so Impressive for a Bootleg!
Also holy SHIT, where did you get those Mexican Sonic knockoff plushes?! I need that Metal Sonic Mk. II in my life.
It's silver sonic mk II but I get what you mean
@@chelzpandamusic Actually it's 'Unnamed Sonic robot'? But nice try :v

I will be the one to admit it but I really want the "classic knock off" drybones for nostalgia.
Kirby with a knife shall destroy the knockoffs

Go fast, Kirb. Be speedy with the destruction.
Hmm yes it is time to get my bazooka

...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
At least Metal Sonic doesn't have vinyl to compensate how he looks. Interesting
Yo Japan has it great when it comes to claw machine prizes all I get is a cheap random bear that breaks on the way home without me doing anything to it
Bootleg Metal Sonic my beloved 💙
Finally, someone's shining a light on these things.
I can see Purple Sonic being the next SMRPG Mallow!
Hoooly shit that Fang plush looks like it'd be released today, thats how high quality it is.
edit: Not the fake one, talking about the real one.
I know right? I'd love to have him one day but I don't think I'd get that lucky haha
Im glad that the one one piece of fang Merch we got is high Quality!
I ONLY sit through ads for PatMac. Love every video you come out with!

10:52 I want that purple Sonic he’s so cubby and derpy he truly is sega boi
Is it me or is eggman doing a dance move or striking a “SEXY” pose
It's a pose he does in artwork and there is a statue of him doing it in Sonic CD.
