"Three Satohs?? Damn it, Phelan, you don't need three gimp Baltards!" nearly caused me to choke to death lmao
Honestly, I'd watch some sort of Robot Chicken-style sketch show done with your bootlegs and all the utterly absurd situations you invent.
Give Robot Chicken time. They'll probably do a sketch of the knockoffs invading He-man's universe. They already did it with Legos and Transformers. lol.
Vherstinae I've been living for these toy sketches this week. I love them.
Nakia11798 If he did videos with nothing but skits with the bootlegs, it would never get old.
"Fantastic Plastic: Adventures of Bootlegs!"
i know I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
"Did he just make a fuckin' Master of Disguise reference?! I'm gonna fuckin' kill him!" just slayed me. I am slain.
Best backstory ever. Whoever translated this into English missed the part about the Lord of Darkness being named "Tneutates", though. I guess Euro Play meant the Gallic god "Teutates", but inexplicably added an "n" in there.
looks more like a h to me
Hmm ok
LOL TMNT-He Man Fusion Dance
Luchador Baltard is the best Turtles villain
I do like the colors in this one.
What would be the most recent additions to the galaxy hole?
I'm pretty surprised how OLD these bootlegs are. On the package it says "W. Germany", which probably means "WEST Germany". The Reunification was in 1990. And (according to my research) the original TMNT toyline came out in 1988. So the bootleggers from Langenfeld really didn't waste any time to come up with this weird concept.
While the reunification did happen in 1990, it took some time for the pistal codes to get changed to include the former GDR as well. So until 1993 the old codes along with the terms East Germany and West Germany were still in use
The more of these I see, the more I think someone needs to commission someone to make a Galaxy Warriors animated series, with characters from all depths of the Galaxy Hole making appearances, and Phelan being head writer. And play it as dead-serious as every merchandise-driven cartoon in the 80s did: Transformers, He-Man, with a tinge of TMNT comedy... could be a classic series. And no legal issues to worry about because, what, are a bunch of bootleggers gonna sue? Hehehe...
Interestingly, I saw one these carded for $15 at Steel City Con like a year or two ago. At the time thought "$15 for a bootleg, no thanks". Didn't realize it was so rare. Whoops!
Wow, yeah that'd be an amazing price for one of these carded.
you really must like these things £100 hope you at least got tax rebate as a "work expense"
They be like "Oh, that Turly-Gang's hella tight!"
I'm like "Yo, that's 15 dollars for a bootleg."
Dreigonix It's a limited edition let's do some simple addition 15 dollars for a bootleg which will soon become 1 hundred.
This is really funny in retrospect considering Turtles of Grayskull
I am German. They started airing the original Turtles TV show on German television in 1990 and the cardbacks of the Turly knockoffs have the old German zip-codes on them, so the figures must have probably been made and sold betweeen 1990 and 1993. The back of the card also says if you send them 15 Turly points you will enter a competition and you might win one of 100 'surprise boxes', worth 50 Deutschmarks.
i've got deutschmarks in my underwear.
Lol!
Lol!
More likely they send you unwanted sweepstakes subscriptions for your turly points and pocket some extra Deutschmarks for selling your info.
Spam... spam never changes...
I noticed the back of one of those cards lists a Barcelona address, god this things traveled around.
Baltard is love. Baltard is life.
I owned all his bootleg merchidise
@Bird Brain mine kicked him in the Baltards when he made advances towards her.
Ih my Gawd I know these. Im from germany and they werent sold in shops or Toy Stores, these Figures were prizes at carnival and travelling fair Booths.
That would explain why they're so rare.
Some people in Germany have said they saw them in convenience type stores. But yeah I wouldn't doubt it was really spotty on where you would find them. That's funny though that they were used as prizes.
The Primus figure's lack of bass playing disappoints me.
His name is mud.
This is becoming a favorite episode
The Fusion scene alone deserved a thumbs up. Thanks for doing this video I've been looking forward to it... I'm almost a year late though.
Know what would be an interesting way to modify the backstory of the Turly Gang? What if instead of a literal volcano, it was a cooling tower filled with radioactive waste, but the characters only saw it as a "volcano". I know the plausibility of that happening when there's enough radioactive waste to fill a cooling tower is nonexistent, but it could suggest a post-apocalyptic story and the precursors of the Turly Gang have limited knowledge of the old world (assuming the story suggests they were human pre-mutation), so they identified the cooling tower as a volcano.
This could also be a big focus on the story, seeing how a lot of the other figures "look" like mutants themselves. This volcano could be used as a prime goal of either faction to have total control of it, so they can have the resources to make mutant fighters, because regular fighters are less interesting I guess.
damn, the irony of seeing this knowing Mattel just made a crossover line with MOTU and TMNT
Someone give Boltard his own movie, it would be the best thing ever.
BUT BALTARD!!!!!!
I'd buy that for a dollar! (1980 US$)
Also the sequel should be called: Baltard 2: Electrocute Baltard.
The Master of Disguise line absolutely killed me... metaphorically :D
16:10 Holy moly! I had that one as a child! My parents got it for me while I was in hospital. It also came with one of those weird shields! Kinda cool to see it after so many years.
The fact that the symbol for the troubles is a star with a blue background and this was mainly released in Germany it's interesting I wonder if that's a coincidence
"Did he just make a fucking Masters of Disguise reference?" Said with such disgust xD I love it
BTW Ork & Aquarius came with the scorpion and the spider. I had them back in the day and they had the animals with them. The funny thing is, that you also have a photo in your video, where they are in the original package WITH the rubber animals at 8:07. @Phelan Porteous
You could also take the extra Sicondus and Primus, re-paint the goggles different colors and rename them. Complete Turly Gang...gang 😄
Baltard: "Am I not Turly enough for the Turly club?"
1:25 W. Germany. So those were made when germany still was devided into west and east (means before 1990)?
Could be, or else they just didn't iron out the mail system just yet.
I'm so glad I started watching the Bootleg Zones playlist from the beginning. I had no idea this was coming and the impact and setup has been perfect.
Am I not Turly enough for the Turly Gang?
"Did he just make a fuckin' Master of Disguise reference? I'm gonna fuckin' k!ll him!"
He-Man and TMNT have finally been joined!
Ending skit was gold xD Keep up the good work Phelous!
I didn't see anybody in the top comments say this, so:
Primus is latin for "first".
Secundus is latin for "second".
So yeah, they don't even have proper names, they're literally Turly #1 and Turly #2. (Also this means Primus would probably be leader.)
i must ask...
IS THERE A END TO THE GALAXY HOLE?
Of course not! It's the galaxy hole!
Wow, that Balltard is a "galaxy hole"....
Phelous: "cough cough"
yeah, all you have to do is kill Baltard
Damn! I just realized, I had some of them as a kid! Both the Turlys and Ork & Spider!
Man...if I'd still had them, I now would prouldy put them on a shelf
I think I even had Bronc the Superfigher!
This is the hardest I've laughed in months, it's actually triggered my heart condition but WORTH IT.
I did not even have to watch the vid to know this deserves a positive reception.
Cool, been eyeing that Turly in your background for awhile. ;) Well I like their bright colors, remind me of Pierre Kirby ninjas. However those names sure were lazy. I guess lava is about as safe as toxic waste mutagen. That theme song is priceless.^_^
Last time I was this early, I took an arrow to the knee.
Did I do that right?
lol
Wait... Primus... frogs...
Was this the inspiration for Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade?
Huk is best Galaxy Warrior! He's based on a painting by frazetta that became the cover of my second favourite Conan book!
This was so funny omg! Best one yet! This line of "knock off" toys seemed to be doing well for itself with all the accessories and characters, even a back story!
Chanelle Pina -i liked the turkey gang theme song "Turley Gang fighters for freedom, Give them freedom now...Or they'll kill you!" it's quite catchy.
With how many characters there are in the galaxy hole, I'd be amazed if a Galaxy Warriors MOBA was never created.
I'm amazed!
Just when you think they've run out of ideas a new line of weird ass toys pops up out of nowhere.
It really baffles me that no one has made a parody comic for the Galaxy Hole and all that resides within.
I wonder if they offered little canisters of "lava" to replicate the ooze play of TMMT?
I really love the auto-translate on this. Cherry Banda
The Turly Gang came from Volcanoes - Equipped with body thetans.
L. Ron Hubbard is part of the Galaxy Warriors Black Hole? Where's my Xenu action figure? D:
Just one correction on that translation. [2:20] In the second sentence it's "the devious hordes of Theutates, the lord of darkness". Theutates is simply a name and does not mean "the Troubles". By the way: Theutates is actually the name of a celtic tribal protection deity. I guess, the Turly gang are actually christian crusaders fighting against the evil pagans.
That just makes the story even more insane LMAO.
So I assume the "W Germany" on the package is referring to west Germany meaning these were released sometime before 1990. That is quite the regional release.
Those end skits always kill me, thanks for the video!
I feel like the skit at the end was commentary on crazy internet dwellers reactions. "Somebody did a thing we don't like! Let's threaten to kill them!"
I'm a newer sub, but Good Gordon you have an entertaining show here! I love it. I am addicted to Wish.com shopping and am constantly entertained by the unintentionally hilarious counterfeit toys. Awhile back, I almost bought a light skin, blonde MOANA because of the absurdity. Truly (Turly?) craptastic knock-offs are like a thing of beauty.
What is Wish.com?
@@jsb8261 a website
The Turly Gang walked so that Turtles of Grayskull could run
Hole that keeps on giving...
Yeah... speaking of which, did you ever seen ukrainian Galaxy Warriors knock-offs?
They did them in 90's, copied bodies of GW, but with their own head molds (still an original GW heads rip-off). Including baltardious of all Baltards, with the face of Dolph Lundgren.
Are you thinking of Muscle Warriors?
th-cam.com/video/uV7xSmplUhU/w-d-xo.html
No, no. It would be to easy for The Hole. )))
Long story short: in early 90's Russian company "Tehnolog" out of desperation start to produce copies of Battle Beasts, only knock-offs was not rubber, but made out of polyethylene.
Toys got super popular in Russia and ex-USSR area. People still collecting them to this days, you know, similar how those who were growing-up with transformers collecting G1, etc.
Somewhere in Odessa, in the middle of the 90's, someone decided to follow the same formula, but with new twist. Fresh idea for the kids, so to speak. They made 4 figures based on GW: Huk, Tiger Man, Dragoon and lucky us - Baltard. Plus 4 enemies for them, but we sill not sure what they ripped off this time.
Since they was so ugly, unplayable (they literally falling apart in your hands due to lazy joints) and kids back in the days hate them so much, they are pretty rare to find this days.
Here is link to article dedicated to them. It's on Russian, naturally, but there is pictures of those beautiful abominations. zverotech.com/2015/04/11/odesskie-kiborgi/
Hahaha, Like holy hell Oda, how deep does this hole go?
All the way to China.
I noticed both aquarius and Ork and spider both have a troubles sticker on there helmets on the prototypes and the aquarius figure helmet was edited a little bit to where the diamond shape on it isn't there. It leaves a lot more confusing because there was supposed to be planned stickers on there helmets and still it is weird that they planned stuff but it didn't make it to the final release 🤔
To think Spikes was a heroic animan before he became one of Deevil's two evil robots...
Yes, I'm headcanoning this line as a prequel
Yo, that not-Baltard's not actually Titus! According to the card you show he's called TI-TI-US, which at least to me sounds much "better"... for values of "better" equal to "funnier to say out loud".
Tittyus.
Unfortunately, it'd actually be pronounced _Tish-us._
@@U014B It's Baltard though-it WOULD be Tittyus
TIT-TUS
Besides, we won't want to confuse him with the makers of Superman 64.
A perfect 10? This is truly (turly) *monumental*!
Okay, I absolutely love the reaction of the Troubles in the Turly Gang theme song you made up for them... Especially Ork's reaction to hearing that they'll be thrown in lava when they attack.
Has anyone else noticed the two "Turlies" are basically named "first" and "second"? The hell?
Just found the second version of Primus at a thrift store here for like 50 cents. Didn't knew these ones where so rare. :D
Everyone knows the only way you can kill someone after you throw them in lava is to shoot them with a rocket launcher. If you don't, they mutate and become stronger! Just ask Chris Redfield!
Don't forget to punch boulders!
You both get likes for this shit. lol.
Voice sonic and ezio after
Who?
@@gracekim1998 Who’s Chris Redfield, you mean? He’s one of the main protagonists of the Resident Evil franchise. I don’t fully get the reference here because I don’t play the Resident Evil games (even though I love the series-it’s just not the genre of game I play, though I do enjoy watching let’s plays) and have only watched a handful of them played through, but I definitely know the character. He’s essentially an ass-kicking special agent-for lack of a better description-with many years’ experience dealing with undead outbreaks and corrupt lunatics. Definitely an oversimplification of the character, but I hope it’s at least worth something.
Just a minute. 10 in everything? Man you REALLY like these things!
26 minutes of a new bootleg zone? Count me in!
The Turly Gang is my kinda gang.
I like to think that Sungold/Sewco/etc is all actually a company started by Phelous who's somehow time travelled back to the 80's simply as a method of messing with himself. Like he used a time machine just for the lols.
Turtles fighters + galaxy warriors = Turly gang
Is there no end to these figures? I would have never imagined that a bootleg line could be so big. They might as well launch their own cartoon tie-in. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood isn't considering a movie adaptation.
... Possibly with Nicolas Cage as Baltard.
Dreadjaws I would watch that.
13:23 - that's no Gun, Fail-us, that is _CLEARLY_ a Little Pluckies Turly Protects, get your facts right...!
Never thought a bootleg series would be rare. When's "Return to Karate Turtles Warriors" btw?
No no, "Frog Power Live" was the name of their concert tour. Unfortunately, "TMNT: Coming Out Of Our Shells" all but overshadowed it.
Well, Turly Gang Titius (Baltard) in ebay Germany for 59€ now I'm almost tempted, but no, the G1 Dinobots and the Lego King's Castle set 6080 must have higher priority.
Truly, the only true enemy for Baltard is Baltard
When I was reading up on this, someone claimed that the more turtle-like versions might actually be newer than the ones with the iguana headsculpts. Though that would just raise even more questions.
Definitely not, they did actually get in legal trouble over the line and that's why the head's changed.
I talked about it a bit in this vid:
th-cam.com/video/x0UhrU6k2Yg/w-d-xo.html
@@phelous Thanks mate. Figured this was more likely the case.
Super...only discovered this channel couple a days ago...but already having a heap of fun...super interesting toy lines...
So who else would watch a Turly Gang TV show?
Now THAT would definitely be a "What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?" kind of show.
Yes, if Phelous was show runner and a writer.
apparently Europlay were taken to court in the Netherlands over these designs - www.rvo.nl/sites/default/files/octrooiportal/2013/11/1993_nr6_%252844-53%2529.pdf
but they may have won? not 100% sure, I can't parse Google translated Dutch legalese well enough apparently.
but maybe they figured it wasn't worth the hassle and decided to change the designs to avoid any further trouble.
Oh interesting! That might explain it then, even if they won they might have gotten jumpy after that and decided to change their look.
I can indeed confirm that Europlay won their case. On April 23rd, 1992, the Dutch court ruled that "Turtle-poppen dragen een duidelijk kunstzinnig karakter; gezien de verschillen maken
de Turly Gang-poppen geen inbreuk op auteursrecht." which roughly translates to "Turtle-figures have a distinct art style; the differences are so big that the Turly Gang-figures do not infringe on their copyright."
Finally! It's happened! It's a bootleg of a bootleg inside of a bootleg!
This is the worlds first ever, Bootleg-ception!
Phelous: you don't need 3 gimp Baltards!
Me: I dunno, it's nice to see The Gimp from Pulp Fiction and his brothers getting work again.
I love Baltard, i wanna buy a baltard
Where can i find the list of the song used as background music for the video?
Now we search for the first perfect 0. Baggy stile packaged, lame superhero-type figurine that vaporizes the second you open their cheap plastic prison.
So basically He-man/Ninja Turtles.
Are these going to be in the new pokemon games. Turlymon gotta put them all i volcanoes.
"...and deeper and deeper and deeper."
Ah, the Turly Gang. We meet at last!
I actually think these are very cool, my 2 favorite lines as a kid besides Star Wars mashed up, pretty damn cool if you ask me. Great Knockoffs. Deserve some Respect. The Turly Gang, Fighters For Freedom! Come on Nickelodeon let's get us a Turly Gang Series!
If collecting knockoffs is becoming a serious thing, I wonder whether fakes of fakes will start appearing...
I think it's already happened in the "Galaxy Hole".
Because of their bloody life, it's no accident that the Turly Gang was involved with the troubles
do you mean the Tubtles?
you talkin irish?
sorry, I thought you were referencing something else :D
Is that a reference to the prologue of Samurai Shodown II?
*****
It is
Is that green frog/werewolf thingy supposed to be Splinter?
I missed the next several minutes after the fusion dance. I was laughing too hard.
Spot-on translation! Also, these things are awesome! I want. :D
Primus doesn't turn into a planet or a gold winnebago, no deal.
I hear Disguster is pen pals with Shattered Glass Thundercracker.
Really cool videos, I subscribed.
wow I really want to start a collection of these... so cool!!!!
Awesome video, really loved Turly gang!
Baltard is our lord and saviour
I think I'm going to form a local street gang and call ourselves The Troubles.
i wanted to see these guys since I saw them in the background in some of your viedos so exicited to see them on this show
6:41 The accessories are mostly taken from Troll Force, or any bootleg line of the same scale. 7:07 As far as guaranteed "this came with that", I don't know man! :)
Something tells me that Galxay Warriors has touched EVERY popular 80s toy series EVER.
I am scared to ask what other variations there are of these guys. I mean, their accessories made it into bootleg turtle toys so...
Phelous, are you hiding something from us?
And when you were complaining about GIMPTARD, I couldn't stop laughing. YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE BALTARD, PHELOUS! NEV'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
(cough cough)
