Bootlegs

**"Let’s do everything!" — Ten**
This page is a list of stuff.

With the success of any popular media franchise, **bootlegs** (a.k.a. fakes, counterfeits and knock-offs) usually follow suit. The *Learningblocks* shows are no stranger to this. Here is a list of all of the known bootlegs of Alphablocks and Numberblocks.

Note that things must come *after* Numberblocks/Alphablocks/Colourblocks’ release for it to be bootleg. for example: The game called Dragonbox Numbers is NOT a bootleg of Numberblocks, contrary to belief. (It came out in November 2015, more than a year before Numberblocks premiered in January 2017. The resemblance is purely coincidental.)

## *Alphablocks* Bootlegs

### Cakes and Cake Toppers

There were several Alphablock-related cakes that were not manufactured by Alphablocks Ltd, nor BlueZoo. Some of the cakes are pretty inaccurate and often show Alphablocks with the wrong Alphalings. Some cakes even feature generic Alphablocks who have no resemblance to the actual ones.

Likely none of the cakes are around anymore since they've likely all been eaten, but there are pictures of some cakes that look bootleg enough to be on this page.

Six strange looking Alphablocks, including a red version of B with I's Alphaling.This cake features the early concept Alphablocks. You can tell because of the purple S and Y, the grey Ps and the dark D. The Y in "happy" uses the redrafted pre-show design as opposed to the Y in "Emrys", who is the beta concept Y.Four Alphablocks have the wrong Alphalings. A has the Alphaling of Q, U is the only correct one, M has the Alphaling of I, and both O and R have the Alphaling of N.This cake features a bunch of unrecognisable, generic Alphablocks with the alphalings of D, A, I, S and Y, lined up to spell "Daisy".This cake features the early concept Alphablocks. You can tell because of the purple S and Y, the grey Ps and the dark D.This cake features five unrecognisable Alphablocks, R, and the Numberblocks from 1-5.

### Plushies

In 2020, there were unlicensed Alphablocks plushies that were not manufactured by Alphablocks Ltd, nor Blue Zoo.

There's a YouTube channel called Alphablocks abc and they joined on November 10, 2020 and they're from Hong Kong. The channel features the bootleg Alphablocks plushies.

They also have a Facebook account and an Instagram account.

The plushies have inaccuracies such as M missing his chef hat, W having no water on his glass, G's grass being the same color as her skin, some of their letters looking off-model and many more.

### Cakes and Cake Toppers

There were several Numberblock-related cakes that were not manufactured by Alphablocks Ltd, nor Blue Zoo. Some of the cakes are pretty inaccurate and rarely show Numberblocks in the wrong colours and amount of blocks.

Likely none of the cakes are around anymore since they've likely all been eaten, but there are pictures of some cakes that look bootleg enough to be on this page.

This cake got many of the Numberblocks wrong. Two's eyes are way too big, Five has 6 blocks and is gloveless, Six has at least 7 blocks and is dark grey in colour, Eight has 6 blocks, Seven also has 6 blocks, Nine has 16 blocks and appears to be just one shade of grey, and Ten has 8 blocks.This one is extremely similar to the previous one, but Six has orange features and Ten is orange instead of red, and lacks fingers on her gloves.Five lacks a mouth in this cake.This cake has Alex's Ten sprite and Jay's old Eleven sprite.This picture takes the cake (no pun intended). One's arms are black, Two is green with orange features, Three is missing her crown, Four is orange with red features, and Five wears two gloves instead of one, and is wearing a top hat for some reason.Two is red instead of orange, Four is female instead of male, Three's missing her crown again, One's eyelid is black, and Five's body and feature colours are swapped.In this picture, Eight has a similar face to Ten and some resemblance to C.That’s not 6, that’s 12!

### Plushies

Somewhere in 2021, bootleg Numberblocks plushies appeared on shopping sites like AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy and eBay.

The plushies were of the Numberblocks from 1-10, and have some inaccuracies, such as One's pupil being too huge, one of the Sevens having a weird yellow semi-circle on the back of his top block, one of the Tens having no gloves, same thing with Five and the plushes in general being rather deformed.

There are actually two different variations of the Numberblocks from 5-10. The plushies also are sold at some malls.

One.Two.Three.Four.Five.Another version of Five, this time with a different face and lacking her glove.Six.Another version of Six, this time with a different face.Seven.Another version of Seven, this time with a different pose and face.Eight.Another version of Eight, this time with a different pose and face, which is made bigger.Nine.Another version of Nine, this time with a different face.Ten.Another version of Ten, this time with a different face and lacking her gloves.
### Colouring Books

Somewhere in 2021, a little after the plushies, several knock-off Numberblocks colouring books appeared on Amazon, featuring things ranging from stock Numberblock poses, to Scratch sprites of the Numberblocks. Some books even went as far as taking people's fanmade Numberblock designs without their permission.

This activity book stole AHT's fanmade Thirty-Five, which was made before the official character debuted in Sky High Fives. The fanmade 35 has a similar face design to Fifty.This activity book stole AHT's Thirty-Eight, who represents being double Nineteen.This activity book stole AHT's Forty-One.This activity book stole Punchcar63's artwork of his fanmade Sixteen, and the Barbershop Fours, which would soon become the Four Fours. The reason Sixteen isn't shown as 10+6 is because the design was actually made long before Eleven and Twelve were officially revealed.This activity book features a weirdly-coloured One Hundred alongside Ten. A parent review on Amazon said that the book has nothing to do with Numberblocks other than the cover, and that it's just a bunch of plain numbers. The cover is traced from the Annual 2022.This activity book stole Ryan Ho's 61 and 364.This activity book stole a fanmade Thirty-One design, which was made before the official one debuted in Figure it OutThis book uses a screenshot from "Twenty-One and On".This book uses a screenshot from "The Whole of Me". with a probably meme inspired "MAGICAL BEAN!"This book flat-out copied the cover of the Numberblocks Annual 2021. The Twenty render is taken from Meet the Numberblocks!This book uses a cropped screenshot from "Octoblock to the Rescue!". This makes the cover look unintuitive because there's 2 Fours.This book features One and an unofficial render of One Thousand carrying One.This book features the same One Thousand, alongside Two, One and Ten.This book features a stolen artwork of Punchcar's old 17 alongside Eight, and F, A and B spelling "FAB", since this is an Alphablocks book too.This book's cover stole Jay's old 15 sprite, cs458468's old 16 sprite, both from 2019, and Punchcar's artwork of Four.This book stole Alex's very old Scratch sprites from May 2018, of the Numberblocks from 1-6.This book features One, Two, Three, Seven, and JellyGelly from NFG.This book uses a screenshot from "Fun Times Fair", with Lucy's Numberkids 20 and 50 pasted in. It has some of Punchcar's art in its contents.This book uses a screenshot from "Twenty-One and On". For some reason, the Storybots are in this book too.This book uses a screenshot from "Flights of Fancy", with One, Three, Fifty, and Lucy's Numberkid 20 pasted on.This book uses a screenshot from "Five and Friends", with Three, Ten and Lucy's Numberkid 50 pasted on.This is a Halloween-themed book with One with devil horns and fangs, Nine with a sharp tooth hanging out, and a weird Seven with one block on a broom.This book features One, Two, Three, Five and Eight. Ryan Ho's rig of Eight is used instead of an actual render of him.This book features Punch's art with his old Six and two Threes.This book steals Jay's old Eleven and Seventeen sprites from early and mid-2019 respectively, as well as Punchcar's artwork of Four.This book uses a Numberblocks ROBLOX game as the cover, with renders of Four and Three pasted on.This book features One, Ten, Twenty, a weird compound Thirty made of Twenty and Ten, someone's artwork of Forty, and Lucy's Numberkid Fifty.This book features One, Two and Three. They are shaped like actual numbers as if they are Numberjacks with limbs, and One lacks colour to represent the fact it is a colouring book.This book stole fanmade 26 and 27 from unknown people and has an offensive comic speech bubble.This book features a fanmade Twenty-Six.This book features One to Ten and One Hundred that has a different numberling from the show.
### Games

Just like with plushies and books, there exist a few bootleg Numberblocks games/apps that appear on the App Store. They essentially either steal, or plagiarize the Numberblocks characters and use them.

#### Little Panda's Block World

*Little Panda's Block World*, a game made by BabyBus, features bootlegs of the Numberblocks characters from 1 to 10, with some details taken from Dragonbox Numbers, with the characters being in a definite shape like them, activities like the Ladder one, and 11+ being compound. The Four in the game looks very similar to the actual Four, but with round eyes, while the Five in the game looks similar to both the actual Five and Fifty. The One is yellow but it's still a cyclops, the Two is red but still has glasses, albeit different, while everyone else looks completely different.

#### number blocks hero

number blocks hero was made by Kari app in 2018.

This including some previews of the game which is not. It was on apkpure.

#### Number Cubes

Merge Number Cube: Fam Run, a game made by ABI Global LTD, is a simple merge game which features character designs that very much resemble several Numberblocks, except that they are in different colours and they look excessively bland. it appears that there are two different Numberblock teams: melee and ranger, representing each number instead of one. In some levels, various Non-Numberblocks characters such as Huggy Wuggy, Rainbow friends, etc. are shown. There's also a different version of the game with Mike Salcedo's Alphabet Lore characters instead of Numberblocks.

Featuring unrecognisable one, two and three.
#### Number Cube Amaze Room

It is like Number Cube Merge Run, but there are Melee and Ranger versions of Numberblocks 11-16, with there being one version of Seventeen. You can play any character from 1-17. You have to destroy the other Numberblocks to get points, like a Three with 63 points kills a Four with 7 points, the Three will get 70 points. The player must destroy everyone to win and earn new numbers.

## Colourblocks

### Coloring App

On June 3, 2023, there was a bootleg coloring Colourblocks App. The app stole random Colourblocks images that you randomly find on Google. Three months later, the app changed from coloring Colourblocks to coloring airplanes.

### Plushies

If you look up Colourblocks plush, you will see a blue and pink plush one thing that's *literally* weird. One of the images is there, and it is a kid holding a pink plush but the child is sleeping while he is holding the plush.

## Trivia

* Despite the show first airing in January 2017, many bootlegs (namely the plushies and books) weren't made until 2021. This remains a mystery.
	+ It's possibly that the show got popular overtime when it launched on Netflix in 2020.
* There isn't just bootleg merch or apps, there are also lots of fake Numberblocks animations on YouTube.
	+ One user, called Toonblocks, is a big example of this, as they created several Numberblocks animations that started out rather bad, but got increasingly better over time to the point where the very recent videos began resembling official Numberblocks episodes in terms of design accuracy, animation and even voice acting. Toonblocks was eventually threatened with termination, presumably either because Toonblocks' Numberblocks videos would often be confused with official Numberblocks videos, or because the videos spontaneously used several audio clips from Learningblocks without credit.
		- Toonblocks later got terminated, but later came back as Toonlore.
	+ A user known as Super Smart Club makes those Number Lore videos where 0-10 reuse Numberblocks colours. However, the later videos use the official Number Lore 1-3 designs.
	+ A kids YouTuber called Lamba Lamby makes videos about Numberblocks, which includes the family building a Numberblocks treehouse, and two videos that use the same song about building pop-it Numberblocks (the pop-it is Seventy).
* Official plushies of the Numberblocks would eventually release that are more accurate to their canon designs.
* The place called "Numberblocks basics" does not just steal the trademark from Numberblocks, but Jay’s game “Numberblocks Basics”.
* As there are Numberblocks and Alphablocks Food Stores, it is likely Colourblocks can get one after well recognition in India.
* Not much is known about the Bootleg Places, as no pictures are shown.
