Thomas Tank Dark Side Knock Off Toys Ep2 Transformer Horror Train

**Thomas Tank Dark Side Knock Off Toys Ep2 Transformer Horror Train** is a Dark Side video by Leokimvideo. It was uploaded on March 5th 2012.

## Description

Ready for another trip to the dark side of Thomas the Tank? Here's a very special look into the dangerous dark side of the illegal toy industry making Thomas & Friends toys. If you can't stand the sight and sounds of some very distorted Thomas models this is not a video for you. This is a follow on from my video Thomas V Thomas and Thomas Dark Side Ep1.

I take a detailed look at how one of these models produces smoke and get lost in different fluids to produce smoke for model trains.

There is a special warning before the Transformer model is shown, possibly the most distorted Thomas Tank I have in my collection. Sadly these toys present real hazards and are potential killers to very young children.

## Plot

Leo looks at some more dark side knock off Thomas the Tank toys.

* The first one he looks at is called a "Thomas Train Play Set", costing $5. He notes that the packaging is better than the toy, which is expressed with a "Very Cheap and Nasty feel", and that it runs quite fast. He also explains about desperate on whoever made it through the stickers.
* The second one are more of the "Player World - Go Go Go" Thomas clones, previously seen in Episode 1 and in Thomas Vs Thomas. Both were $15, and Leo says that all these sets do will break a person's heart.
	+ In a sub-segment, he showcases that only Annie is ripped off in these series of copy products, and wonders why Clarabel isn't.
	+ In another sub-segment, he showcases how an official Thomas Trackmaster Starter Set is the same price as a standard official Thomas train ($20).
* The next toy is "Thomas & Freight Cars Set" (in reality, a ripoff of a real Thomas product of the same name), for $15. He explains that the set is "visually disturbing" and "a real insight into the very dark and nasty side of copy products". He also explains how dangerous and unusual it is for how low quality the product is, which ends up with the Gordon ripoff breaking apart with very little play.
* The next toy is a model train that blows real smoke called "Train Story - Train Paradise", which Leo's wife bargained down from $25 to $20. Along the way, Leo shows off various kinds of way to make smoke with the train using various products like Baby Oil, Smoke Fluid and Glycerine.
* The last toy featured is called "Transformable Toys", costing $12. Leo expresses this as being "so, so wrong in so many ways." He showcases how creepy it can be, and how random it is.

At the end of the video, A sneak preview of Episode 3, which would feature two knockoffs of the Tomy Big Loader. After this, he showcases how the smoke reveal of the Transformer Toy is done, using ice, flannel pyjamas and a smoke machine.
