My little pony knock offs that are still going strong with many different series, but we'll be talking the witchy ones. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: June 7, 2014 #BootlegToy #MLP #MyLittlePony
Being fluent in german i can tell you that the theme song says:fillys are cute little horses, there are a lot of them , lots of fillies are to be seen (BEST PART NOW): love them, because they are beautifull.
no choice there, filly is love, filly is life.if you ever need some german translations for your bootleg stuff, feel free to hit me up.i owe you anyway for showing me the neca turtles in colour and for an actual price for actual humans.
I am german, and fillies were actually a big part of my childhood. My grandma always bought me one when I got a good grade. And every girl on my school had at least 10 of them.
That white captain planet was actually an offiicial toy. can't remember what he was, but he was a specialized version of Captain planet in the toyline.
I still have around 200 of them in a box near my bed... Not lying, this franchise was my whole childhood, they're still more popular than Mlp in Germany. And yes. I'm german.
The story in the storybook on the website says this: Have you ever seen a glittering rainbow in the sky? This is a very special rainbow, because at the end of it, in a forest of cherry trees with pink blossoms, you will find the secret world of zimsala.
Bad news, Phelous: the Filly series has been delayed again. On the bright side, we know one of the main characters has a scar on his face, and they have magic mirror smartphones. Not even kidding, magic mirror smartphones. There's been two more trailers since. Also, it's going to be a sitcom, apparently.
Filly is one if the most stupid things we have here. But as a german woman.. I can try to translate the "book" XD" The "undefined" is translated something like: " Do you ever saw a sparkle rainbow on heaven? That's a very special rainbow, because on it's end there is a forest of cherry trees (WTF?) with pink blossoms. There you can find the secret world of Zimsala" Wow.. it's just stupid. Thank you for the video! You show the world what we have here...XD" And the children love it...
im going to pretend im a 90s anime adapter and try to change this for an English speaking audience. Let's see here... "Do you ever saw a sparkle rainbow on heaven?" Well the first part is obvious "Have you ever seen a sparkling rainbow" Hmm, Can't reference religion, hmm, Heaven is often depicted as being in the clouds, so "sky"... "Have you ever seen a sparkling rainbow in the sky?" next "That's a very special rainbow," Yeah sounds good, whatever. "because on it's end there is a forest of cherry trees" Da fuck? Screw that noise make it flowers or something. "Have you ever seen a sparkling rainbow in the sky? That's a very special rainbow, at the end of it there is a wonderful field of flowers!" "with pink blossoms" Aw crap shot myself in the foot... im to lazy to go back leave it! "Have you ever seen a sparkling rainbow in the sky? That's a very special rainbow, at the end of it there is a wonderful field of flowers with pink blossoms!" next There you can find the secret world of Zimsala" Zimso.... Simsal... Zimi yee? Screw that it's ponyland now. "Have you ever seen a sparkling rainbow in the sky? That's a very special rainbow, at the end of it there is a wonderful field of flowers with pink blossoms! There you can find the secret world of Ponyland" Alright let's ship it out right now! *They changed it from the original translation! 0 out of 10!* Well shit...
I would like to point out that Filly actually was a completely different brand made during the gap between Gen 3.5 and Gen 4. They in fact are actually getting their own show called Filly Funtasia.
I bet people cared so little, so intensely little, so absolutely little, that no one ever put in that code and it has yet to be used. It's shielded by our intense disinterest.
Phelan as a long time fan I've loved this segment/show from the beginning. It suits your oddball form of comedy well. I'm more shocked with the merhorses that anything and am slightly upset with their deep-seeded angry stare.
It's weird that they're called Filly, which means they're kids. But they have babies. So does this mean that they're children of children!? What the hell Germany!?
The name has nothing to do with Germany. The FIlly brand was invented by Dracco which founders came from the Netherlands and have their headquarters in Hong Kong. Simba was producing the toys under lincense and had no rein about anything. And btw., Filly is the name of the main horse (the brown-orange one with white hair) which is seen in the Filly logos.
I've been a massive fan of these as a kid... To this day I have like 60 figurines from eight series, every magazine (yes, there was one!) issue between 2010 and 2013 and I've played with them for literally hundreds of hours with my sister. Let me tell you, the build quality on these is excellent. Almost all of them after years of extensive handling by two kids are still in solid condition. Also, I am a guy. Someone please kill me.
I have 70 fillies, a plushie, two magazines, a coloring booklet, two boxes, a big figure... yeah, I was obsessed with them as well (except I'm a girl). I decided to get back on collecting because everytime I see one at the flea market I cannot resist. And now I make photographs with them and stuff. I wouldn't say they're that much of a good quality though, a lot of mines are broken (mostly the ones I got second hand)
I've been seeing more and more of these Filly Witchy figures in stores lately here. I dunno why they SUDDENLY in 2016 decided to flood our stores with them but there ya go.
For the curious, here's the Filly series' Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filly_Funtasia I wonder if these are sold in the States anywhere, some of my friends' kids would get a kick out of them. But hopefully not a smell-this kick...
They sell filly princess blind bags over here, I bought a few for fun and I ended up starting collecting them xD I kinda like the way they look tbh lol
They seem to be based of the Generation 3 version of My Little Pony toys. But, do these count as Bootlegs? I mean, sure, My Little Pony came first, but this toys seem to be a legit toyline from a legit toymaker, and the market of everything is filled with similar products. Like Coke and Pepsi, or Sprite and 7Up. If they are getting a cartoon, and Hasbro hasn't sued them yet... well, I think you understand why I'm asking if this toyline counts as a Bootleg or, or its just a ripoff. It seems like Filly Witchy is the Go Bots of My Little Pony. Wait, are the Go Bots considered a Bootleg? They were basically cheap transformers, and they had their own cartoon show...
Persona Ohnlyne Funny story: Hasbro actually did sure Simba (the former distributor, not creator of Filly) for making toys that resembled MLP too much, but it wasn't related to this brand. They also lost a second case against the same company, because it couldn't be proven that the two toys were similar enough to be confusing. There's legal documents about it if you Google Hasbro vs Simba, but it's all in Dutch, because the courts were in the Netherlands or whatever. Anyway, the way I understand it, the series doesn't just focus on bootlegs but also on knock-off brands. And Filly started off as a knock-off brand, unfortunately (brony and Brilly here, so just bein' honest). Filly Witchy is also just one tiny part of the series, it's kind of ridiculous. They're like expansions for Magic cards or Yu-Gi-Oh. The next one's going to be Filly Stars. But to answer your question: Go Bots wouldn't be a bootleg of Transformers, but it would be a knock-off. It was created following the success of its predecessor, and it tried to get some success by using elements from said predecessor. But it also set itself apart as it went on. If it doesn't do that, then it's liable to lawsuits. If it's distinct from other franchises, then it's clear. Compare Pokémon and Digimon, or Magic: the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh or even Hearthstone, or League of Legends and the original DotA. My Little Pony itself originally came out on the back of the success of so-called 'pony novels', so really, in the end it all depends on intrinsic qualities. Looking like something better but not quite matching up is dangerous, but being good like the original as well as being good in its own way are ideal. That's how similar franchises are born and co-exist in harmony. Or how Internet flamewars break out. Whichever works.
Pokemon is only an animal abuse simulator if you do those dumb "nuzlocke" playthroughs where you get rid of one if it faints. The actual games themselves emphasize harmony and codependency as the normal state, with abusers being shown as villainous.
They're not bootlegs. They're an actual toy line that's probably inspired from G3.5 MLP. I've seen the toys for years and they're getting a cartoon called Filly Funtasia.
Phelan Porteous While I'd never watch that show (even as a Brony) it still looks interesting. Not in a "this is genuinely good" sense, but a " can't look away from the horrific car accident" sense.
Phelous should do a review of the Filly animated series at some point (after he gets around to watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, of course)!
"Where are the cupcakes?" "Someone took them..." " By force!" " we need to speak the truth" " I'm a hero!" "No, your not a hero!" Here sorry for that... 👩🏾 👾 👙👯👯💁🏻
Oh my god, his jab at the MLP fans was hilarious! I'm a huge brony myself (I grew up with the 80s ponies) so I was actually happy that being a man and loving MLP is more accepted nowadays. But DAMN the fandom can be mean, easily offended, insane, or just plain gross. It's hard to find MLP fans that aren't so.......yikes. X_x
I can at least give these things credit for having colored hooves XD I've always liked MLP but the one thing I find confusing about the stylization is the fact that all the ponies have hooves that are the same color as their skin, which kinda makes their arms/legs just look like weird fleshy stubs
As a fan of MLP and you, Phelous, I wouldn't care if your opening statement was how you truly felt or not. See, folks? He's right. We ARE level headed and secure about our enjoyment of both that show and his.
ilikethecokev2 Like I'm a level headed vegan and would still love Phelan regardless of his opinion on veganism. And for the record even though I have not really sat down and watched a full episode of my little pony, the little of it I have seen looks pretty good, or at least better then I once thought at first.
Those Fillies look a lot more like knockoffs of the 1980s MLPs, but can't for the life of me remember ever seeing them like that (the original figures were about the same size as the modern ones, none of those, um, midget ponies- I mean, "Fillies"). And they're remarkably well sculpted. So it's more of a knockoff of MLP, but isn't, and they're riding the coat tails of the current incarnation more than anything else.
Since Filly seemed to be so much more popular in German speaking countries I sometimes wondered if the pony toys that I had as a child were even actually part of the old My Little Pony series like I always had believed and not Filly instead. But now I found out that the Filly series only existed since 2006. Yeah, I was already 18 at that time and definitely not getting any more toys unless they were collectibles of series I was still interested in. So unless there was another knockoff series going around the pony toys I had during my childhood are likely part of the old My Little Pony toy line.
I'm not a brony(anymore), but I wouldn't mind giving that series a watch just to see the amount of what the hell that may result. Kind of looks like the same animators who do those Barbie movies.
As someone who collects the MLP minis, I can tell you for a fact that there are some official minis that look like bootlegs themselves! Luckily, most of the minis look pretty good.
So why are there so many "elf" themed toys for girls, like 3 of the filly sets mentioned here and also that Lego thing I'm mostly aware of because I noticed it had some kind of cheap non-lego anime on Netflix...I mean, Elves aren't a particularly feminine thing usually. LoTR and Skyrim are two examples I can think of off the top of my head, and outside of that I'm pretty sure elves are short guys working as slave labor up north...it could be because they use magic, but they already have fairies, witches, mermaids, etc. for their "things that do magic" quota that would probably appeal more.... The point is that I obviously wasn't educated in marketing cheap crap to little girls.
Oh my god... They're so tiny... Tbh even if I didn't like mlp, I still wouldn't want to see a little pony (or little pony knockoff) be punted, because like, Steffi Love is punting a small animal
I used to own a tiny pony figurine with a pink coat and turquoise mane and tail. She had a blue and gold outfit, and gold bracelet. She came in a little case that was also her home too! 🦄🏩
My Filly Witchy,My Filly Witchy,crap,crap,crap,craaaap. MY FILLY WITCHY I used to ownder what swarowski could be MY FILLY WITCHY Untill I bought a crappy bootleg toy Cheapness, weird fuzz texture! Being really tiny,having no indentity,commerical plagiarism! Being German, it's a crappy thing! People blame us for a sting YOU HATE MY FILLY WITCHY Did you know I have no friends at all FOREVEEER ALOOONE Do you like my theme song?
B H/ Yeah, of course. I was just talking about how almost everyone in the comments is saying it's a FIM ripoff. It may be "inspired" by MLP, but not FIM.
It's funny you make that comment because I am a total Brony. And I love the show because of it's story arcs. Some of the darker ones are like DBZ for Girls and I love it. I can't wait to watch it with my niece. I'm secure enough to admit I like that show. I am secure enough that my friends and family know too. Last birthday one of my smart ass friends bought me some pins and I loved them. I have even talked to some dates about it and the ironic thing is they came back and said they watched it with their kids and it's not bad at all. I think it's a cartoon everyone can enjoy.
Two things I want to say. 1. Princess Twilight Sparkle is the reason I became a brony. 2. The pony on the box has really long hair. It might even give Super Saiyan 3 a run for it's money. *And this is to go even further beyond!!!*
Ha! You didn't trick me this time! Okay, if they have a theme song, they'll be as hilarious as Steffi Love. The Elements of Swarovski are like the Elements of Harmony: cheapness, weird fuzz texture, being really tiny, having no identity, commercial plagiarism, and being German Well, can't blame them for their variety of lines. Fairly clever-you don't see that in the actual My Little Pony lines unless you want to say Earth/Pegasus/Unicorn as the variety. "Every step I take, I make a new friend/" "NO, YOU DON"T!" I can barely reading German, but it looks like Miranda is about fire, singing and lights or something while doing magic. So like Azula meets Rapunzel or something.
And Alice is...A ROMAN? Broom. Wow. Wouldn't that be something if BROOM was the last Airbender? Hey, wouldn't it be something if Broom's cutie mark was a mop? Maybe Captain Goat is the filly version of Discord. Who's that Filly Witchy? It's Kadabra! Or maybe Trixie's mom. Eh, not a bad theme song. Better than anything in Equestria Girls. "Okay. Not so much" CUPCAKE THEFT! That was actually a comedy episode of Friendship is Magic! Does this one have ninjas and James Bond imagine spots? As a brony, I naturally can't wait for the next review of Pony knockoffs.
Brother Malachai Because even though its obvious that Filly...WHATEVER is cashing in on the POPULARITY of MLP, they can do whatever they want because MLP/Hasbro hasn't copyrighted the ability to make toys based on pastel magical horses. There is no patent on that so and company can come up with their own little line of mini pony toys for kids to whine their parents to buy. Its like Barbie and Steffy. Yes, we know that Steffy is casing in on Barbie but the company can do whatever it wants because Steffy is their own brand like so many other fashion dolls that came out before and will come out after. Aside from that, Filly and Steffy at least have their own characters and designs as stupid as they are. Compare that to Video Brinqudoes (Sp) and Little Princess School which IS blatant copyright infringement since they simply took ALL the designs from the official Disney princesses and animated them in flash and gave them different names if you count Cindy and Bianca being that different from Cinderella and Snow White. (Don't believe me. Look it up. Its terrible.)
They could bootleg it more Filly wicthy the show twlight spikle randow bash apple crack-cocaine rawrty pinkie die flutt she princess molestia princess tuna And how could forget zpike the dragon
Urgh, that advert... it made me want to punsh the TV more than once. In their defense, the real My Little Pony adverts aren't less stupid. I don't quite get how they couldn't even translate this shit to English, Simba has been around for ages they should have the budget to do that much... or just give it to some grade school kids in their second year of learning English who probably know all the vocabulary for the generic bullshit they wrote there.
OK these KOs are cute and all, and I think Bronies and Filly Fans are great, but the one named Storm? Bullshit! He/She should have been named SMELL MY FART!
Oh shit! I know that toy line! There were plenty Filly commercials and toys in Denmark, even the commercials were in Danish. Filly does not look too bad, but to be fair... many MLP figures are not the best looking either...
I actually bought a pack or two of Filly Princesses in some grocery store because I thought the art looked cute. The figures themselves weren't very pretty though...
im a brony and i didnt freak about twilight becoming an alicorn (in fact i wasnt bothered by this transformation) im still waiting for hasbro to make a transformers g1 crossover with MLP FIM...or have trypticon or the g1 insecticons in their world. Look like they bootleg the crappy G3 MLP
+MLP Aqua-Marine UK I have seen artwork of MLP: FiM crossed with Transformers Animated and they look rather good. Although they could cross over well with Beast Wars Transformers even better due to being ponies.
Wait a minute... Filly Ice Fairy? **BELOVED TOMBOYISH DAUGHTER INTENSIFIES** EDIT: And then they have a magician named Alice. I'm not gonna say it means anything... but I am looking forward to Filly® Yōkai.
Littlest Fillybo. Tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian. Don't look at me, I'm American. I only know that reference because of the Corner Gas episode "The Littlest Yarbo." Yeah, we got it here. Quality stuff.
Well, i wasnt one of the people which got mad for the acorn princess... i just got mad when they decided to make a story about them becoming Highschool girls with 90% of the stereotypes. oh yea, this video is about filly witchy.... emmm..... the show sure will be a ultra tremendus sucksess
ezfensparkovr9000 it depend of what you think is good? a not really inspired movie, with alot of plot holes, characters being dumb, and a forced and shallow highschool setting for the sake of getting the monster high market. but if you just need them to throw references in your face and you are happy? then you probably will think is good.
Being fluent in german i can tell you that the theme song says:fillys are cute little horses, there are a lot of them , lots of fillies are to be seen (BEST PART NOW): love them, because they are beautifull.
Thanks! Well guess I HAVE to love them now. Darn demandy song.
no choice there, filly is love, filly is life.if you ever need some german translations for your bootleg stuff, feel free to hit me up.i owe you anyway for showing me the neca turtles in colour and for an actual price for actual humans.
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous Actually, just for the fun of it I did some research. Turns out these aren't really bootlegs (they're around since 2007).
+Ahorse 1 I believe he knows that, he just says that the whole thing was copied from My Little Pony.
+sandra doyle I hear "Collect them, because they are beautiful." in the new commercials.
I am german, and fillies were actually a big part of my childhood. My grandma always bought me one when I got a good grade. And every girl on my school had at least 10 of them.
That's adorable
i love that so much

Hikari Yagami same here XD and The more you had the cooler you were
I’ve seen a fair amount of them floating around in odd shops
Spooky speaks the truth, being from a German family, but living in the US, my little sister had those as her favourite over the mlp stuff.

I have a few filly princess toys!
Including this one called princess crystal, who had a real crystal crown or something
R.I.P

That Filly Funtasia series has been teased for years now. It already has a built in fanbase, despite not a single episode being made yet. Whyyyyy?
I have the little one called Broom, I won her from an arcade game. Didn't know what she was but she's cute so I kept her.

Sorry I don't think it'll help you much. I live in South Africa.
Liezl Bohnen Wow, yeah that probably wont help XD.

I remember getting some from Universal Studios Hollywood of all places.
They sell filly princess blind bags over here, I bought a few for fun and I ended up starting collecting them xD I kinda like the way they look tbh lol
The Filly mermaids are kind of like the hippocampi from Greek mythology.

RaichuWizDom Actually Gobots (Machine Robo) toys came first and Digimon is better then animal abuse Pokemon.

BloodrealmX Not really. No matter what you put your “friends” in battles where they get poisoned, burned, scratched, hit with pressurized water, etc
ACHTUNG is my new sneeze sound effect.
"smell this kick pony" came up in my ebay search when i was looking for 1"-2" horse figures for my diorama thingy
They're not bootlegs. They're an actual toy line that's probably inspired from G3.5 MLP. I've seen the toys for years and they're getting a cartoon called Filly Funtasia.
I don't call them bootlegs. I cover both bootlegs and knock offs on the show and these are KOs for sure.
Phelan Porteous While I'd never watch that show (even as a Brony) it still looks interesting. Not in a "this is genuinely good" sense, but a " can't look away from the horrific car accident" sense.
+Deathshead1923 Considering it was supposed to come out in 2012... You'll be waiting a while.
Deku Kitty Makes sense that the project would fizzle out.
@@phelous How far removed does it need to be from the source material to be no longer considered a KO? 🤔
They where also auper popular in Switzerland! I never knew that they where knock offs as I was little.

Oh my god, his jab at the MLP fans was hilarious! I'm a huge brony myself (I grew up with the 80s ponies) so I was actually happy that being a man and loving MLP is more accepted nowadays. But DAMN the fandom can be mean, easily offended, insane, or just plain gross. It's hard to find MLP fans that aren't so.......yikes. X_x
Ironic, right? x3
I know right? I've come across stuff in the brony community that makes me question why I even like this fandom in the first place...
same here, I've been in many bad fanbases before & mlp was one of the worst
You stated a truthful fact! I'm offended!
I'm a Brony and totally agree.
Oh my God I loved Filly when I was little! I still have a ton of the toys somewhere.
I used to collect the Filly Princess toys. I stopped when I found the princess with the crystal in her crown and now I haven't seen them since.
I can at least give these things credit for having colored hooves XD I've always liked MLP but the one thing I find confusing about the stylization is the fact that all the ponies have hooves that are the same color as their skin, which kinda makes their arms/legs just look like weird fleshy stubs
As a fan of MLP and you, Phelous, I wouldn't care if your opening statement was how you truly felt or not.
See, folks? He's right. We ARE level headed and secure about our enjoyment of both that show and his.
ilikethecokev2 Like I'm a level headed vegan and would still love Phelan regardless of his opinion on veganism. And for the record even though I have not really sat down and watched a full episode of my little pony, the little of it I have seen looks pretty good, or at least better then I once thought at first.

Yep
This review has me rolling maybe one of your best Bootleg ones yet
Those Fillies look a lot more like knockoffs of the 1980s MLPs, but can't for the life of me remember ever seeing them like that (the original figures were about the same size as the modern ones, none of those, um, midget ponies- I mean, "Fillies"). And they're remarkably well sculpted. So it's more of a knockoff of MLP, but isn't, and they're riding the coat tails of the current incarnation more than anything else.
The cartoon is officially now what my nightmares look like, just a constant rewind of 'Where are the cupcakes?'
I love that batman transition 😂
Since Filly seemed to be so much more popular in German speaking countries I sometimes wondered if the pony toys that I had as a child were even actually part of the old My Little Pony series like I always had believed and not Filly instead. But now I found out that the Filly series only existed since 2006. Yeah, I was already 18 at that time and definitely not getting any more toys unless they were collectibles of series I was still interested in. So unless there was another knockoff series going around the pony toys I had during my childhood are likely part of the old My Little Pony toy line.
Wait a sec, a filly is basically a baby mare. Wouldn't that make "baby filly" kind of redundant unless they are newborns or something?
You mean like Princess Hime?
XSiRenfieldX fillies are female horses. children are foals
A filly is a young female foal.
Newborn Cuties flashbacks
XSiRenfieldX correct
Alice the pony belong to the element Heart? Like...the Queen of Hearts?
No, like the guy from Captain Planet.
Haydn Anderson LOL
As a 1/4th German witch, I approve these toys. XD
I'm not a brony(anymore), but I wouldn't mind giving that series a watch just to see the amount of what the hell that may result. Kind of looks like the same animators who do those Barbie movies.
Well, the artwork looks interesting.
www.funtasiadaily.com/2016/06/filly-funtasia-concept-art-spoilers_18.html
not gonna lie I read the title as Filthy Witch
ngl the Filly theme sounds way catchier than the MLP theme.
As someone who collects the MLP minis, I can tell you for a fact that there are some official minis that look like bootlegs themselves! Luckily, most of the minis look pretty good.
So why are there so many "elf" themed toys for girls, like 3 of the filly sets mentioned here and also that Lego thing I'm mostly aware of because I noticed it had some kind of cheap non-lego anime on Netflix...I mean, Elves aren't a particularly feminine thing usually. LoTR and Skyrim are two examples I can think of off the top of my head, and outside of that I'm pretty sure elves are short guys working as slave labor up north...it could be because they use magic, but they already have fairies, witches, mermaids, etc. for their "things that do magic" quota that would probably appeal more....
The point is that I obviously wasn't educated in marketing cheap crap to little girls.
Girls like elves -probably the fey connection, and they're both powerful and pretty. And then there's the CULT OF LEGOLAS
Johnalogue um elves don’t need to be just for boys.
Oh my god... They're so tiny... Tbh even if I didn't like mlp, I still wouldn't want to see a little pony (or little pony knockoff) be punted, because like, Steffi Love is punting a small animal
If there was a whole series dedicated to Bat Hero I wouldn't watch anything else for a long time
Was i the only person who got the littlest hobo joke?
The Littlest Hobo is a Canadian classic.
"I'm going to take the high road and-!"
*massive fart sound*
"OOOOOPS!"
Oh...my god.
I used to own a tiny pony figurine with a pink coat and turquoise mane and tail. She had a blue and gold outfit, and gold bracelet. She came in a little case that was also her home too! 🦄🏩
Dude, Brilly for life! :D
Broom is the best Filly!
Brill-kick /
(/
Tarot Is best filly m8
14 of the people who watched this are brillies.
Just realised something else:
Steffi mentions "The Brillies".
Me: Wait, you mean Brillo pads have a fan base??!!
Why do the normal sized MLP dolls look so terrifying?!
10:20 - You're no a hero, never was, never will be.
I had some of these a long ass time ago, I got them as a joke lmao
The casting on them reminds me of Pony in my Pocket (it was my life back in the day).... They share some of the same poses and such...
Sounds like the writing crew from Dingo Pictures is working on the Filly Funtasia cartoon...
My Filly Witchy,My Filly Witchy,crap,crap,crap,craaaap.
MY FILLY WITCHY I used to ownder what swarowski could be
MY FILLY WITCHY Untill I bought a crappy bootleg toy
Cheapness, weird fuzz texture! Being really tiny,having no indentity,commerical plagiarism! Being German, it's a crappy thing!
People blame us for a sting YOU HATE MY FILLY WITCHY
Did you know I have no friends at all
FOREVEEER ALOOONE
Do you like my theme song?
i will take all the fillys put them on an ihland and float them away
Filly is like, fucking years old. The commercials run on TV since I was a little kid, even before Friendship Is Magic even existed.
+Outside998 ... you know mlp existed before that series, right
B H/
Yeah, of course. I was just talking about how almost everyone in the comments is saying it's a FIM ripoff. It may be "inspired" by MLP, but not FIM.
+B H/ Exactly, Filly was there before FiM. Filly started in 2006, FiM in 2010.
Yeah, this is pretty obviously a G1 ripoff
Im so glad that the My Little Pony series is 20% cooler than the toys. :D
***** oops. :P
One sick part of me wants these. Shit.
It's funny you make that comment because I am a total Brony. And I love the show because of it's story arcs. Some of the darker ones are like DBZ for Girls and I love it. I can't wait to watch it with my niece.
I'm secure enough to admit I like that show. I am secure enough that my friends and family know too. Last birthday one of my smart ass friends bought me some pins and I loved them. I have even talked to some dates about it and the ironic thing is they came back and said they watched it with their kids and it's not bad at all.
I think it's a cartoon everyone can enjoy.
Sorry Germany i love you, ATCHUNG!
+Michelle Gettel Gezundheid!
Still waiting for that Filly Pony tv show review.
Two things I want to say.
1. Princess Twilight Sparkle is the reason I became a brony.
2. The pony on the box has really long hair. It might even give Super Saiyan 3 a run for it's money.
*And this is to go even further beyond!!!*
so this line is pretty much the galaxy warriors of the pony world?
Ha! You didn't trick me this time!
Okay, if they have a theme song, they'll be as hilarious as Steffi Love.
The Elements of Swarovski are like the Elements of Harmony: cheapness, weird fuzz texture, being really tiny, having no identity, commercial plagiarism, and being German
Well, can't blame them for their variety of lines. Fairly clever-you don't see that in the actual My Little Pony lines unless you want to say Earth/Pegasus/Unicorn as the variety.
"Every step I take, I make a new friend/" "NO, YOU DON"T!"
I can barely reading German, but it looks like Miranda is about fire, singing and lights or something while doing magic. So like Azula meets Rapunzel or something.
And Alice is...A ROMAN?
Broom. Wow. Wouldn't that be something if BROOM was the last Airbender?
Hey, wouldn't it be something if Broom's cutie mark was a mop?
Maybe Captain Goat is the filly version of Discord.
Who's that Filly Witchy? It's Kadabra! Or maybe Trixie's mom.
Eh, not a bad theme song. Better than anything in Equestria Girls.
"Okay. Not so much"
CUPCAKE THEFT! That was actually a comedy episode of Friendship is Magic! Does this one have ninjas and James Bond imagine spots?
As a brony, I naturally can't wait for the next review of Pony knockoffs.
How have these ppl. avoid being shut down by Hasbro? :-/
Brother Malachai Because even though its obvious that Filly...WHATEVER is cashing in on the POPULARITY of MLP, they can do whatever they want because MLP/Hasbro hasn't copyrighted the ability to make toys based on pastel magical horses. There is no patent on that so and company can come up with their own little line of mini pony toys for kids to whine their parents to buy. Its like Barbie and Steffy. Yes, we know that Steffy is casing in on Barbie but the company can do whatever it wants because Steffy is their own brand like so many other fashion dolls that came out before and will come out after. Aside from that, Filly and Steffy at least have their own characters and designs as stupid as they are. Compare that to Video Brinqudoes (Sp) and Little Princess School which IS blatant copyright infringement since they simply took ALL the designs from the official Disney princesses and animated them in flash and gave them different names if you count Cindy and Bianca being that different from Cinderella and Snow White. (Don't believe me. Look it up. Its terrible.)
They could bootleg it more Filly wicthy the show
twlight spikle
randow bash
apple crack-cocaine
rawrty
pinkie die
flutt she
princess molestia
princess tuna
And how could forget zpike the dragon
That would be funny!
So they use ancient eastern European magic. Can they cast the sheeny curse on you?
Smell this- pony can apparently make tornados... I don't want to know where they come from!
Oh god, now I'm imagining Equestria Girls knockoffs.
+Tareltonlives You know they will come out soon if not already.
A spinoff/knockoff of a knockoff/spinoff. Wow.
+Tareltonlives Funtasia Girls*
That'd be Galaxy Warriors shit
I've found some great ones on Taobao that look like they've lost the will to live.
Urgh, that advert... it made me want to punsh the TV more than once. In their defense, the real My Little Pony adverts aren't less stupid. I don't quite get how they couldn't even translate this shit to English, Simba has been around for ages they should have the budget to do that much... or just give it to some grade school kids in their second year of learning English who probably know all the vocabulary for the generic bullshit they wrote there.
I remember getting the princess ones.
Broom is the Brick of the Fillyverse.
OK these KOs are cute and all, and I think Bronies and Filly Fans are great, but the one named Storm? Bullshit! He/She should have been named SMELL MY FART!
Where can I find the Filly Witchy theme?
Oh shit! I know that toy line! There were plenty Filly commercials and toys in Denmark, even the commercials were in Danish.
Filly does not look too bad, but to be fair... many MLP figures are not the best looking either...
I actually bought a pack or two of Filly Princesses in some grocery store because I thought the art looked cute. The figures themselves weren't very pretty though...
im a brony and i didnt freak about twilight becoming an alicorn (in fact i wasnt bothered by this transformation)
im still waiting for hasbro to make a transformers g1 crossover with MLP FIM...or have trypticon or the g1 insecticons in their world.
Look like they bootleg the crappy G3 MLP
MLP Aqua-Marine UK You mean like they did for Star Wars and Marvel, well shit I would by that!
+MLP Aqua-Marine UK I have seen artwork of MLP: FiM crossed with Transformers Animated and they look rather good. Although they could cross over well with Beast Wars Transformers even better due to being ponies.
Yeah I wasn’t bothered by Twilight becoming an alicorn either😅
Wait a minute... Filly Ice Fairy?
**BELOVED TOMBOYISH DAUGHTER INTENSIFIES**
EDIT: And then they have a magician named Alice. I'm not gonna say it means anything... but I am looking forward to Filly® Yōkai.
2:04 Heh. A-filly-ated.
Did the Iced Fillies come out before or after the Crystal Ponies?
6:30 that witch is going to a magical place Called Estalia
Bat Hero should leave this abusive relationship.
Littlest Fillybo.
Tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian.
Don't look at me, I'm American. I only know that reference because of the Corner Gas episode "The Littlest Yarbo." Yeah, we got it here. Quality stuff.
I remember "The Littlest Hobo".
I genuinely want one of these. xD They're flocked! :D
Yyasemin Ssabanci More like flogged lol.
The cartoon just got released last month
6:50 WWF Attitude's Pajamarama song.
@6:56 he's clearly just ICED version Captain Planet.
hes cold as ice
my new fav song> " Captian Arctic, I'm a Hero, I Can Servive In Below 0....
weirdly I find these rather charming
3:26 Oh Tia, Trixie's multiplying! Burn them with fire!
Well, i wasnt one of the people which got mad for the acorn princess... i just got mad when they decided to make a story about them becoming Highschool girls with 90% of the stereotypes.
oh yea, this video is about filly witchy.... emmm..... the show sure will be a ultra tremendus sucksess
and yet people still convince me it's not that bad. I was not very impressed with it. Maybe i was watching a different version of EG.
Considering how awful Equestria Girls was, I'm imagining how awful a Filly version would be.
Tareltonlives I heard it was good.
ezfensparkovr9000 it depend of what you think is good?
a not really inspired movie, with alot of plot holes, characters being dumb, and a forced and shallow highschool setting for the sake of getting the monster high market.
but if you just need them to throw references in your face and you are happy? then you probably will think is good.
SamuraiMotoko I've never seen it.
Once I bought a filly princess
The humpping elephant simba😂😂
3:24 SHOOBEDO SHOO SHOOBEDO
CALL UPON THE SEA.. oh wait that's stupid
And the cutie marks are by the hooves.....um okay
Bat hero is love, Bat hero is live
that opening line cracked me up
