I opened up the Pokemon Funko Pop advent calendar last year so I didn't include it in this video, but I hope you guys enjoyed seeing all the other ones I found to open this year!
Those tiny bootleg Pokemon figures truly refuse to die. They've been around for so long. I have a few of them from years ago and they're so darn goofy. The ones that John got are actually better than what I've seen. The colors are actually mostly right.
Same I had at least 20 of those little goofy figurines as a kid! I loved to play with the water types as bath toys and bury them in my sandbox. I’m pretty sure they’re still in that sandbox to this day.
I think it would be really cool for you to display that first one in the background during the winter months. It's very nice. Also I think a cool challenge would be to find shiny pokemon of all the ones found in these calendars in one go.
That bootlegged Elekid from the last advent calendar is my favorite of all time! I seriously buy him every time I see him online, his little -w- face makes me so happy! I spent months trying to find that exact one, combing through tons of other bootlegged listings every week. Appreciate your lil dudes :D
I remember my parents putting a bunch of plastic miscolored Pokémon like the ones he got in those advent calendars in my stocking and I still have them to this day
A fun episode for the John Michael cup could be both of you getting one of the bootleg advent calendars and having to catch each pokemon in it. Fastest wins.
I ordered an advent calender from a Facebook ad last year and got a cross eye gyrados and other strange items. This year, I went safe with the first calender you opened there.
3:13 Omg i recognize those figures lmao. A local comic store I've been to had those exact off-brand figures. I, of course, bought one, so i have a frickened up grimmer lol.
My mom once ordered me and my brother Pokemon avert calendars. Unfortunately she brought a bootleg one and all it had in it was 40% Pikachus and 70% non Pokemon stuff. Like there was a car, hello kitty stuff, bear figure, an alien from Toy Story. And a milkman I think figure. It made us lose our minds. XD
2:55 to 6:10 Too all my other figure painters out there who else wants nothing more than just to take a dremmel and some paints to these to try and make them look better?!😩🤣
8:59 I know that that card you probably need to pay someone to take it because it was from a fun pack but I love misdreavous. It is one of my favourite Pokémon (it's in the top 10)
4:25 the second i saw the charizard i realized....those were the exact same figures my aunt had gotten me for Christmas a few years ago. They had the exact paint jod problem and almost all of them looked bootlegged
2:54 I already knew that this one was a knockoff because all they did for the cover was slap the smash bros renders for pikachu and jigglypuff’s smash bros models and slap Santa hats on them
I like collecting the bootleg pokemon just for the fact of how messed up they are. The most normal one I've ever gotten is a quagsire who is near impossible to mess up with how simple it's design is.
I recently saw a Mini Funko pop! Pokemon advent calendar, and it took everything in me to not jump on it. You mean I can get 24 little funkos for the price of 3 regular? My wallet is quaking in fear
The bootleg ones look like the small Pokèmon figures you could get together with some weird candy in a pokéball back in the late 90's early 00's - I remember always being so excited to see what I got and almost always get disappointed at either the Pokèmon or the quality 😅
Fun fact: the pikachu and jigglypuff on the second calendar are renders from Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and 3DS. That’s how I knew it would be pretty bootleg

Ok 👍
Ye
Also merry christmas and a happy new year
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! Just out of interest, where did you get the posters in the backdrop from?
Frog guys forever

Same! I thought they were shinies when I was younger but nope, just wrong colors. I felt so special too.
I also have those knock offs, I think I got a good batch
I have those.
The mega construx ones are actually officially branded which is cool [sorry if I misunderstood what you meant]

For the next episode of the John Michael(*) Cup you should do a “Catch your Pokémon only knowing it’s cry” first to 5(*) correct catches wins
That would be fire
Ikr
Omg I love that 😍
Ooh that's a really good one
Yes!!
8:32 Not sure if you noticed it, but the Ice Rider Calyrex card is in fact shiny! It's hardly different, but it is yellow rather than white!
That's normal go get your eye dictor
@@braydentbh9658go look at an ice rider calyrex
Another cool Pokémon and has a bad shiny

My dad bought me and my sister the second advent calendar. Needless to say, we laughed our asses off.
Man that is such a rip, sorry to you for getting the literal scam

Im Kinda sorry for you bat i laught at this comant and on that calender so badly

the tiny bootleg figurines are a trademark of being a pokemon fan at this point, we all either have them or had them
I've gotta find some for myself, man
I definitely have a few of those beings

This video was super fun! That first calendar was actually pretty impressive.
I could immediately tell that the second one was a bootleg when it had the smash 4 art of pikachu and jigglypuff on the front.
Correct
12:36 NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTON! 😂
Man I gotta say I love that derpy Gengar from the off brand advent calendars. Something about it’s proportions and goofy face makes me adore it lol
Charmander: I GOT A HAT
Bulbasaur: ME TOO!
Squirtle: 😔
Poor Squirtle
Pikachu: ME 3!
Eevee: I wish I got a hat...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOLKS!!!! May DeliSantabird visit you all!!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO
Happy Holidays!

To anyone who reads this I hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year
I guess for John it was quite an ADVENTure 😂
3:30 I want to buy the whole box just for him omg😂😂😂😂😂

16:07 Thats a shiny Surskit :O
16:00 the only time anyone was ever excited about an oddish
16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 q 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37 16:37
As a person in Alaska, the first advent calendar you opened WAS OVER 100 USD! Merry Christmas everyone.
8:46 That Reaction tho xD
Man seeing PM7 open the advent calendars, I really want either 2-3 out of them all, plus I'm kinda jealous
2:55 to 6:10
Too all my other figure painters out there who else wants nothing more than just to take a dremmel and some paints to these to try and make them look better?!😩🤣
Advent calendar number 2 is THE WORST ADVENT CALENDAR EVER
Best
Just came here to say, at 1:10 - SIR, PSYDUCK IS TWICE THE SIZE OF SQUIRTLE. Thank you
8:59 I know that that card you probably need to pay someone to take it because it was from a fun pack but I love misdreavous. It is one of my favourite Pokémon (it's in the top 10)
The red wigglytuff looks like a fusion of rotom and wigglytuff lol 16:10
4:25 the second i saw the charizard i realized....those were the exact same figures my aunt had gotten me for Christmas a few years ago. They had the exact paint jod problem and almost all of them looked bootlegged
The scuffed advents had me in stitches.
Hope everyone has a jolly happy Christmas
Merry Christmas John! Have the best holiday full of great memories and even greater bootleg Pokémon 😂
It would be very interesting to see a miniature painter fixing up the bad figures with a good paint job
Just that Gary impression made this video perfect
That poliwag was turbo cursed
I love how he was so happy the second Poliwag was correctly colored.
But it's tail was dark blue instead of light blue
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
with the second advent calendar, all those images are cursed lol
That second advent calendar had me wheezing, the bootleg Pokémon look so cursed.
EVEN IN ADVENT CALANDERS JOHN IS STILL GETTING SHINIES
1:20 candycane
2:54 I already knew that this one was a knockoff because all they did for the cover was slap the smash bros renders for pikachu and jigglypuff’s smash bros models and slap Santa hats on them
John I have about a hundred of those tiny figures from the second one.
Yeah they're kinda messed up design and color wise.
KINDA????
@@vgmaster02 they're so bad it's funny
You know what would awesome. A turtara with a Christmas tree on its back.
I love Poliwag. It's one of my top faves of all time. The 1st one was hilarious 😂😂😂 I would 1000% display that in my office lol
Scam warning
You don’t have my Pokémon Funko pop, advent calendar, not to flex
He got it the year before
The figures and your reactions are so funny
John is the shiny man himself, even in advent’s calendar he gets a shiny
I like collecting the bootleg pokemon just for the fact of how messed up they are. The most normal one I've ever gotten is a quagsire who is near impossible to mess up with how simple it's design is.
3:08 I got this advent calendar and each day was a day of disappointment.made my family laugh😊
Your affinity to catch shinies even extends to advent calendars!
Give the smallest advent calendar to Jack😄
I recently saw a Mini Funko pop! Pokemon advent calendar, and it took everything in me to not jump on it. You mean I can get 24 little funkos for the price of 3 regular? My wallet is quaking in fear
7:25 Tail Whap? Ok?
The Golduck be looking Asian 😂 16:44
It should be a crime to open a whole advent calendar in 1 day
True 😂
I have a bunch of those bootleg-ish figures, I don’t remember mine being *that* bad though lol
The Totodile addict in me somehow wants that bootleg now. XD
I love the bootleg figures so much 😅
I got a mini pokemon funko pop advent calendar and the figures are so cute and i love them all
Merry Christmas to you all and hope you have a great day love you all and hope you get through anything that’s tough right now
8:50 team yell is cheering for the fun pack to be over
15:50 HOW DO YOU GET HALF A PIKACHU?!?!
The gothorita from the second box was the funniest of the whole box
RIP John’s bank account
Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah!
This vid was amazing keep up the work!
13:34 THATS WHY YOU DON’T FLY ANY PLANES NEAR A T-REX SIZED GORILLA…
You have no idea how much I want that mr mime from the 2nd one. It's so cute
3:31. What they do to Poliwag😂
3:55 Keeping me up for the next few days
All of these except for the 2nd one and the last one would be fun/nice to get.
My new favorite Pokemon ( 3:28 ) 😂
You should give Jack a scuffed pokemon advent calander
The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work
One of my best friends got me the pop up calendar with the starters and I loved it! Merry Christmas John 😊
It was so funny when it said at this point John just went insane 😂😂😂
“ reverse kickball “ 😂😂😂😂
00:7
I got the Pikachu and Jigglypuff one, as well as the Sawsbuck one.
So I can't watch this until i finish opening them...
Pokemon in shows:pikachu
Pokemon in Arceus:BBBBBIIIGGGGGAAAAAA!
Happy Hannuka To All
Merry Christmas Everyone 😄
🎄Merry Christmas Everyone!🎄
16:12 it because it’s the leaked wigglytuff shiny from Pokémon stadium 3
The hash slinging slasher! 5:18
The two small ones and the days of mirage plushies. This will bring people from pokemon mania back.
2:54 I love how it just uses smash 4 renders lol
The ornament set would be great for a really young fan, when decorating a tree is the most magical experience.
Merry Christmas to all😄🎄
8:19 john just called us pansages/monkeys
I think
2:48 wait? Are they useing the ssb4 renders for pikachu & jigglypuff
4:04 I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be Plusle (I learned about Plusle's excistense from/through Pokémon GO)
The bootleg ones look like the small Pokèmon figures you could get together with some weird candy in a pokéball back in the late 90's early 00's - I remember always being so excited to see what I got and almost always get disappointed at either the Pokèmon or the quality 😅
2:59 I had that exact advent calendar for Christmas
Pm7: 7.5 holiday pakachu
Me: time to get slicing
Fun fact: the pikachu and jigglypuff on the second calendar are renders from Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and 3DS. That’s how I knew it would be pretty bootleg
No the big ones are inflatables for the figures of course 😂😂😂
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone who celebrates Christmas
12:39 is see it...
