Thank you for informing me of the deadly amount of lead inside of these guys. I am now going to do a mukbang in which I consume a box full of them over the course of six hours.
Its funny cause the bootleg scene here in mexico has gotten more and more competitive lately, some of the artisans makig them have improved the quality of their products A LOT. Like, the detail painting has gotten actually GOOD in some cases. Considering the origin of the figures, it´s weird but not unexpected that they are being produced with some really cheap materials.
I customized one of these figures last year and I can say the paint is definitely toxic, I sanded down the paint in certain areas to get rid of the mold marks and smooth the surface and the paint dust made me feel dizzy and made my skin itch for months! however after repainting and coating the entire figure it became safe to touch and pose, so yeah, be careful with that paint.
Hey, mexican living in México here I can give a bit more of information about mexican bootlegs in general These are a very local production that has been going for years, even since the past century, first starting with lucha libre characters, theres a very iconic mold that every mexican kid had. Only a few sculptors are known, and with them you can see how some of these pieces are made. The sculptors really love to create their own monster designs like the twisted animatronics, in general, there was a time that a lot of fusions between ben 10 aliens were made, those were dope btw. I believe that the reason of these are the Alebrijes, mythic creatures from the mexican culture that are basically a mix of a lot of animals in only one with funny colors. Ive never heard something about these provoking some toxic incident, so they arent dangerous. I could do some more local research if youd like to
Nah man the Alebrijes have nothing to do with it. They get the info wrong when doing them because they don’t care. They might find some fanart and just make a mold because it’s the first thing they found.
Mi amigo, buen resumen, yo recuerdo tener y ver en el mercado las figuras de ben 10 que mencionas, con aliens que ni existían o eran combinaciones entre ellos, lo chistoso de los bootlegs de fnaf es que algunos se ven mejores que los oficiales de funko
I think it's mostly the online bootlegger's figurines sold that have lead because I also remember seeing figurines like that (with the amount of detail and everything) locally and never heard of a story or case made on toxic materials from those bootlegs. I haven't seen them in a few years tho', but that's probably because I haven't gone to a toy shop in a while. also, I believe it's other sellers buying the blanks in mass and making them with lead paint to sell online to other countries(?) just speculation
fun fact, that hanging chica waving her arms at 1:20 is actually not a bootleg. it was an OFFICIALLY LICENSED prototype halloween prop made by Morbid Enterprises. thank the lord it got canned
@@Exploding_Bagelseasily startled people are gonna hate on me but they have no jumpscares or anything so they are the entire opposite of scary and just animatronics with chuck e cheese design staring at you with a goofy ancient camera effect, and everyone calls them scary which is just ridiculous, i watched a ton of them like the one with the fiberglass animatronic, foxy's showtime, none of those scared me, I just don't get it.
Jokes and hazardous materials aside, some of the engineering going into these things is crazy, like they actually understood the job AND GAVE THEM ARTICULATED JAWS. I thought Hasbro was lazy nah Funko takes that in spades.
as a mexican, i was always wondering why there were so many good but bootleg fnaf figures explicitly stating they’re mexican. i don’t think the handcrafted ones on etsy and ebay have toxins, just the ones that pose as official merch.
Man, I remember when the initial bootleg figures were released back before we actually had any official merch. *those* bootlegs were actually good, they looked like decent quality stylized versions with their own gimicks and features.
I've been waiting for this video!! These bootlegs are always the highlight of my FNaF shopping sprees online. A really memorable one was this weird fusion of Sun and Moon with multiple arms.
Bootleg Plushies are typically safe, it's just the plastic stuff you have to worry about the worst case scenerio with bootleg plushies is the material is too cheap and they fall apart, but they're VERY RARELY actually harmful
I think “looking for such and such figures” is meant to be question to the viewer, like “are you looking for a cancerous pile of poison from Mexico? Ask me for it!”
I am Mexican but don't live in Mexico, though we do visit often bc of relatives. I remember one time we visited we went to a market out in the open to find stuff and someone was selling fnaf stuff. This was like a year after sister location and we bought a funtime freddy figure. The jaw hinged and his faceplates actually worked, showing the endo (kind of a shame we broke one of them off) he had a light up button and was very vell sculpted. I don't think he was actually painted but rather colored material which I can guess wasn't poisoned since we always played with him but he never smelled or felt weird to the touch. I think we dodged a massive bullet lmao
It's a shame they're toxic because many designs look genuinely good (even if inaccurate) and not bootleg like at all. Also, hot take, the bootleg Dread looks better than the Funko Dread tbh.
I think the Dreadbear may be based on the Marvel Legends sentinel build-a-figure from 2005. The overall build fits well, and the circles on the palms look very similar to the pegs on the Sentinel, so it may be a match.
In fact, that figure was made from a new mold, the artisan who made it has shown images of the sculpting process on a UA-cam channel that reviews Mexican bootlegs.
I actually like how the dreadbear bootleg is designed, the Foxy arm makes sense to me due to the fact he’s based off of Frankenstein’s monster (as far as I know) and Frankenstien’s monster was comprised of different parts of humans (from what I remember about the story)
It’s funny, I went to Mexico like, 10 years ago, and around every other street corner there was a bootleg movie store- Legit they were selling recordings of movies in plastic bags for super cheap. It was right in the middle of Mexico City, they weren’t trying to hide at all. I can totally see someone opening a store packed with these fake figures and no one stopping them I have no idea if it’s changed at all, but I can only assume copyright laws are/were much different over there then in the US 💀
There are a lot of stores like that And yeah Copyright laws are a bit more flexible here We don't like piracy and tbh i despise it myself Bootleg toys or pirate movies It's more like a thing for really poor people and not for the average mexican family Copyright laws only are tough if you are like a big company or something like that If not It's mostly ignored
Here in mexico those figures are way less expensive than the funko figures, wich is another reason as to why so many people buy them, not all of us have the money to buy the funko ones, specially parents who can't afford the official figures but yet want to make their kids happy
at least once a week i go to a mall near my house with two stands selling a bunch of these so this is kinda wild. not really surprising, like you said, sketchy bootlegs are indeed sketchy. shoutout to the employees and all the kids who have these lol
While watching this my nose also started feeling a burning sensation, I thought that was a funny coincidence until i realized the toxic gas had leaked in my room.
Lead is toxic to humans in all sorts of ways. Women in the 1800s would use it as makeup, causing smallpox, scars etc. They would use more to cover said scars and lead poisoning was a major cause of death back then. Not saying that's the case for some fnaf bootlegs lol but just pointing out how lead isn't only dangerous when consumed
i would gladly purchase one if they didn't come with toxic fumes that probably smell like what gregory was smelling during the burntrap section in security breach
Last year, my mom ordered a pack of bootleg SB figures for my young brother, they weren't from mexico, rather from china (ordered from AliExpress) and they smelled AWFUL. felt STICKY. despite that I hope those don't have lead
I had two of these. Hearing that they're made with toxic materials makes me so sad because they were always so much cooler than the official figures. I mean holy shit I really wanted that one Twisted Bonnie figure
And just in any case if you are worried about the lead on the figure its mostly for the materials the are made and i have see in person how they are made so yeah the lead can be for the plastic since is straight up melted plastic put into molds so is just bare bones plastic the painting as well most of them are painted with just acrylic paint and actually probably the smell/lead and gross touch of the figure is because probably a coat of transparent lacquer spray paint and your figure was probably a recently made one so that can also explains why the accessories were stuck sticky into the bag it came but yeah hope that answers the lore of Leadbear!!!
I don't know why,but when he smelled the dreadbear bootleg and started coughing because of the smell,it reminded me of the withered animatronics's odor problem and how it smelled like something died inside of them
2:56 emalvido's description could ALSO be read as "If you are looking for figures ask me.", which I think was the intention. Since they are the ones *selling* figures and (to my knowledge) not buying collections of their own- I think that's more likely.
I would not be surprised if game lore Fazbear Entertainment recieved lawsuits for using lead on their merch lmao Good thing you checked if those toys got lead,and yeah,latin american bootlegs are either really cool or really toxic XP
I remember that I wanted the mexican Glamrock Freddy figure (Which looks better than the funko one 🤦♀️) and then I realize I was actually too broke to buy the dang thing. I didn't realize that they were dangerous and contain lead. So basically, being broke might of saved my life-
I have lots of family that lives in Mexico, and tend to go every summer. And in the summer we have a fair and they always sell very bootleg toys of everything, fnaf, poppy playtime, among us. it's always funny to see, and cool to see someone talking about it.
As a person who actually have made some of those toys i can tell that even we don't know where the materials with which we make them come from It's mostly recycled plastic and the paint they give us
What I've been able to figure out aswell, mexican sellers usually make better fnaf security breach characters! If they don't use lead paint I might buy them😊
I collect anime figures and so I'm well versed with the dangers of bootlegs. It's sad to see that bootleg figures for fnaf are also made using toxic substances.
Im pretty sure that Emalvidos description isn’t him saying how HE is looking for the figures, I think it’s more of a thing like “Are you looking for these bootlegs? Then come on down to my page!” Or something like that
As far as im aware a lot of older action figures...I think between the 70s-90s? A lot of theme were pretty gorey, 'demented', and spooky in general. I feel like these twisted bootleg figures would fit right into that era of time. I'd even go as far so say they're kind of TAME compared to some of the toys produced in that era. But they really stand out because you don't generally see these kinds of things as often in todays market.
DAMN, well guess some of these do contain lead , i live in Mexico and its super common to see these since as you probably know, funko doesn't distribute practically nothing fnaf here, in fact I've never seen any fnaf figure in stores, so these are the only alternative and since they are pretty robust they are nice for kids since most bootlegs paint isnt really a problem , now yes these are hand sculpted with some having nice detail ,some using reference images, wich that's how you sometimes end with odd looking ones or fanart based ones , they are hand painted and are made all through Mexico so that's how you get all the different quality and variants and paint since its not like there's a rule to how they need to be manufactured , most are made in homes and then sold on streets, tianguis (markets) or Mexican websites like mercado libre, always advertised as Mexican bootlegs, so they don really try tricking you into the fact that these are real, or most dont, in fact here in Mexico they dont get in legal problems so yeah, i have owned 4 fnaf bootlegs and like 9 bendy ones , and one i own for at least 7 or 6 years and to be honest I've never had any problems with them yet be careful with some of the cheap ones, there's different sizes and lines, since yes these are actually made as part of a line to be consistant with one and other and the molds do get constantly updated yet it takes longer to see them since they need to distribute the molds or figures, as a plus, the odor fades away after some days, if you dont want to wait or risk it just wash them a couple times and it disappears, idk if its toxic but i personally havent had problems and i personally kinda find it nostalgic in a way , yet i do understand your concerns of it being toxic, so overall be careful since tho im pretty sure they aint that toxic by experience and most paints aint toxic (and the fact that most kids in mexico arent in a hospital or dead) some of the cheap ones can be really crappy in terms of the paint rubbing off and plastic and also dont overpay on ebay since these retail in mexico for 5 to 15 ,i hope this kinda answers some of your questions and nice video
Good video. I purchased a crazy looking Springtrap Mexican bootleg from eBay a week ago. It's supposed to be 11in tall and the gold paint looks crazy good. I will report back with results/first impressions. It looks really good on the pictures and I really like when designs are altered (I love collecting sofubi).
In case ur wondering where these are sold, I found a whole bunch of them being sold at la bufadora Ensenada, Mexico. I actually got a springtrap figure cuz it looked cool and I still have it.

The worst experience in Mexico is when you see on social media an ad of a “colectibles” store opening and you visit it and it’s just full of bootlegs.

And i was unlucky enough to buy one. Thankfully i don't have lead poisining.
Same
I hate how some of them look better than funko despite how dangerous they can be
The Mexican Bootlegs are so Iconic!! I'm so excited to see you make a video on them!!
Cant wait to see their new toxic springtrap figure, now with 300% toxic fume based paint! Comes with real mustard gas!
Oh no...

offtopic but these character designs (the turtle and rabbit) are adorable omg

As a person who actually have made some of those toys i can tell that even we don't know where the materials with which we make them come from
It's mostly recycled plastic and the paint they give us
who is "they"?
Exactly.
@@alphroteek7198I'm guessing like their boss or manager?
What I've been able to figure out aswell, mexican sellers usually make better fnaf security breach characters! If they don't use lead paint I might buy them😊
I collect anime figures and so I'm well versed with the dangers of bootlegs. It's sad to see that bootleg figures for fnaf are also made using toxic substances.
Im pretty sure that Emalvidos description isn’t him saying how HE is looking for the figures, I think it’s more of a thing like “Are you looking for these bootlegs? Then come on down to my page!” Or something like that
its definetley toxic i recommend repainting it and wear a mask while sanding it and wear a protective suit or a coat
Ngl tho these may be illegal but they look better than funkos 💀
i hope your lifespan didn't get shortened by 7 years by simply taking a sniff of them
As far as im aware a lot of older action figures...I think between the 70s-90s?
A lot of theme were pretty gorey, 'demented', and spooky in general. I feel like these twisted bootleg figures would fit right into that era of time. I'd even go as far so say they're kind of TAME compared to some of the toys produced in that era.
But they really stand out because you don't generally see these kinds of things as often in todays market.
oh god jumbo josh springs is so cursed XD
these bootleg toy designs are actually so sick ngl
DAMN, well guess some of these do contain lead , i live in Mexico and its super common to see these since as you probably know, funko doesn't distribute practically nothing fnaf here, in fact I've never seen any fnaf figure in stores, so these are the only alternative and since they are pretty robust they are nice for kids since most bootlegs paint isnt really a problem , now yes these are hand sculpted with some having nice detail ,some using reference images, wich that's how you sometimes end with odd looking ones or fanart based ones , they are hand painted and are made all through Mexico so that's how you get all the different quality and variants and paint since its not like there's a rule to how they need to be manufactured , most are made in homes and then sold on streets, tianguis (markets) or Mexican websites like mercado libre, always advertised as Mexican bootlegs, so they don really try tricking you into the fact that these are real, or most dont, in fact here in Mexico they dont get in legal problems so yeah, i have owned 4 fnaf bootlegs and like 9 bendy ones , and one i own for at least 7 or 6 years and to be honest I've never had any problems with them yet be careful with some of the cheap ones, there's different sizes and lines, since yes these are actually made as part of a line to be consistant with one and other and the molds do get constantly updated yet it takes longer to see them since they need to distribute the molds or figures, as a plus, the odor fades away after some days, if you dont want to wait or risk it just wash them a couple times and it disappears, idk if its toxic but i personally havent had problems and i personally kinda find it nostalgic in a way , yet i do understand your concerns of it being toxic, so overall be careful since tho im pretty sure they aint that toxic by experience and most paints aint toxic (and the fact that most kids in mexico arent in a hospital or dead) some of the cheap ones can be really crappy in terms of the paint rubbing off and plastic and also dont overpay on ebay since these retail in mexico for 5 to 15 ,i hope this kinda answers some of your questions and nice video
Good video. I purchased a crazy looking Springtrap Mexican bootleg from eBay a week ago. It's supposed to be 11in tall and the gold paint looks crazy good. I will report back with results/first impressions. It looks really good on the pictures and I really like when designs are altered (I love collecting sofubi).
I have 3 mexician bootleg figures, which have all been on my room, for 5 months........, and nothing has happened to me so i think im fine, i hope
I would say to lead test them, just in case. Better safe then sorry :)
In case ur wondering where these are sold, I found a whole bunch of them being sold at la bufadora Ensenada, Mexico. I actually got a springtrap figure cuz it looked cool and I still have it.
Honestly, you can not deny that the Mexican security breach bootlegs are BETTER than the official ones
That Cough/wheeze you made is never leaving my mind now, thanks.
