A bit of a departure from my usual content here. Be sure to let me know what you think of it in the comments. I'll be back with some more conventional HTT content soon! Cheers!
4:52 Sonic is having an actual stroke. One eye shows him as awake while the other is drooped. He's leaning to the right, and his right arm is also slightly leaning. One half is awake and the other isn't. A stroke.
As a Sonic Fan it seems like he gets the most knockoff compared to other Mascots, like mario, Crash Bandicoot, ect also please do more Sonic Merch reviews official, and unofficial.
4:59, based on the head, I think its very likely taken from the 2.5" Jakks Sonic figure with him shrugging (which is in turn based on that stock art famously used for the Mighty No. 9 tweet lol)
13:58 these are VERY loosely based on offical Peruvian figures from Missi Bags & Toys, or at least the Metal Sonic and Werehog, but the others could be horrible mutations/bastardations of these as well
25:28 this mold actually has a history... in the late 2000s these minifigures were made by First4Figures, then for the 20th Anniversary, Jazwares got the rights to rerelease them, and somewhere in the move a chinease bootlegging company got ahold of the original molds, so in the coming years these guys have become some of the most bootlegged sonic figures ever, you'd find so many of them if you look around, in VERY varying quaility lol
Thank you for all the information you shared here! Really interesting stuff. I'm going to look up the originals now to see just how far some of these have fallen. Thanks again - and thank you for watching!
@@HillTopTerebi I didn't realized you replied until youtube just gave me a notification someone liked these comments lol, but of course :), love your content and I'm a massive nerd about this stuff lol
Gonna be wild when the fourth Sonic movie actually comes out and it has official merchandise. Would be hilarious putting the fake sonic 4 merch on shelf next to the real ones.
The towel design is stolen from a fleece blanket you can find at walmart in the US, and yes it says Sonic Mania which is wha ta lot of sonic products were branded recently.
Who knows, maybe one day these knok off stuff will be worth a bunch of money. I mean, Sonic Merch I own is mostly Vinyl OST´s, a Base Cap, a Coffee cup I found last week and a few Sonic 2 Movie 3D linears, that were for free at the cinema. Also the IDW Collection books and the German version of the Sonic 2 strategy guide, but I don´t know, if this is also called merch.
Those IDW collection books are awesome. I buy them too. The only downside is it means I am always behind the story by a year or so. Roll on IDW Collection 5! 👍
The flea market in my area had knock off sonic figures with stolen fan art everywhere on the box and I could just tell they had led paint on them and they wanted $20 for it. I took a picture of it and posted the picture warning people to not buy it because of the paint and how expensive they put on it. In the same flea market other people were selling bootleg Pokemon cards and my mom popped them out to me because I like Pokemon too and I had to walk away with her a few steps away to tell her they are fake

The Chaos and the Mephiles plushies actually look really nice for bootlegs
i have the boom amy from the blind bag and for some reason mine's hot pink instead of her regular color
the blind bags have some of the molds of the tomy sonic boom figures btw
Hello~Love it. so nice editing~
Thank you very much!
This was a wild ride! The sinking feeling in my stomach when it looked like the entire box of blind bags would be shit humanoid Tails! 😂
Oh I know... It looked like it was going that way hahaha! Thank you!
This video is both hilarious and horrific. Well done
Gonna be wild when the fourth Sonic movie actually comes out and it has official merchandise. Would be hilarious putting the fake sonic 4 merch on shelf next to the real ones.
OMG,that last one was peak!!! 🤣🤣🤣
5:04 Bro, the box says Mario Kart Wii. 😂😂😂😂
Yes the boy is back w the sonic swag PS this was a very entertaining vid
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I got some knock off sonic stickers and what was on the stickers was sonic and Amy doing something unexplainable
sonic 4 rhythm of your fingertips sounds like a hypothetical movie in a dream
1:13 Well, if that ever happens, and the Ghostbusters are assigned to catch you, I’ll tell them the content you did on here as a mortal being.
This video is so underrated, it beats out 90% of sonic UA-cam videos that involve merch
Thank you! I appreciate it! Hopefully the video picks up some traction at some point. Thank you again!
Rhythm of your fingertips!!
18:13 OH GOD
NOT THE SONIC THE HEDGENOG FIGURES (Yes the OG Box said "Hedgenog" and Not Hedgehog)
Massive Ashens energy (good thing)

i want rythym of your fingertips just to laugh at the rest of my life

@@HillTopTerebi I´m at the same position as you with the IDW Collection books. 😃 Volume 5 shall be released on 18 March 2025

I have that sonoc mask but when my mom got it it was scrape
the bikes in the figers are from pj mask
Nicely spotted. Thank you! That's one mystery solved with these strange figures.
if we didn't have bootlegs some people wouldn't have content
it's odd how bootleggers care more about boom then sega do
reminds me of ashens, can't tell if it's because of the accent tho
SHOW US YOUR FACE and I like the drink slurps 🫦😂
