That is a great combo of iPhone and Iron Man, could through in War Machine and Mac book with War MAChine. Nice to just see a fun review of such a stupid and smart combination much like Super Thomas.
You may have noticed this already since posting the video, but the package says you’ve got the “lights only” version of iPhoneron Man. The “lights & sound” version is the one that requires three batteries.
Well, yeah, he did mention that he thinks there’s an alternate version of this, and says that the version he has is ticked as the two-batteried version.
This looks to be a straight rip-off over-sized version of a movie Iron Man figure, which tended to be about 5 inches. It has some of the tell-tale signs, like the moulding for the strange hinged balljoints in the hips, but that particular articulation seems to have been removed since it’s quite complicated to manufacture: http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2010/03/IM2-Iron-Man_1268782022.jpg
It’s also possible that it tried to be like the “Hot Toys” version of the figure, which it’s about the right size for and has certain details of too: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/1/18863/2493291-283730_10150954905097344_1509781927_n.jpg
But obviously Hot Toys is a way high-end collectable figure with tonnes of articulation, so of course a lot of that has been simplified with articulation toned down.
Of course, that’s all just guessing but those seem the most likely.
At 1:36 in the upper right corner: As a kid in the 1980s I used to have that toy with the penguins that would walk up the stairs and then slide down the slide.
I found two results when searching Google Patents.
Sorry if this isn’t the right the place to share this but I can’t think of anywhere else, and seeming as this is Phelous related I suppose its okay then, I guess. Anyway, here goes:
For all you Redditors and Phelous phans out there, I’ve recently created a new subreddit, dedicated to all things Phelous. You’ll find it here at http://www.reddit.com/r/Phelous/.

Even though Tony Stark could design a phone better than the iPhone (take his phone that controlled the screens in Iron Man 2), he is still a billionaire and wants more money and profit so he buys Apple.
He makes an Iron Man suit, model 5S to promote that he now owns Apple. Since this was made around the time of Iron Man 3, the iphone 5s was the newest model.
Right now I’m sure he’s working on the Iron Man suit 6 and 6+ (think Hulkbuster, but in that color scheme) to further promote his ego and company.
I know the real reason this toy was made is cause bootleggers are weird, but for putting it in some type of universe, there you go. 🙂
If they wanted an authentic iPhone Iron Man then it’s design should be stolen from Xerox, manufactured by Sharp, unable to record or play AVCHD video, and unable to recharge through micro USB, just like the real iPhone.

ye know in film making when you employ dark humor there’s a fine line between funny and depressing….
That’s how I feel about Brendan Fraser movies.
My first thought was that they were stealing from an old issue of Least I Could Do
And THEY used the proper iRON MAN joke!
Wait the… the whuaaaa…? Iphone Ironman? Dafuq does that mean? X’D
I just… I just can’t

You get a LOT of results looking up “Jolly Penguin Frisk Paradise.” Even though it certainly sounds like a bootleg toy, it seems it was very common.
An apple a day keeps the crime at bay.
Big Cock is stalking you, & follows you from website shop to website shop. (Surely this is a decent enough plot for a modern horror movie).
So what about allies & rivals? Perhaps Samsung Galactus, Black Caberry, & of course Awesome Android.
“Justice just wasn’t paying the bills.”
Bathero, the Cuckhold Years.
You know what would be REALLY weird? Having Big Cock turn up as a Galaxy Warrior/Fighter/Idontknowanymore.
Not finding a lot of CHICKEN bootleg toys persay, but I’m seeing some shit I’ve never come across before.

I did find a chicken warrior toy eventually, & it looks awesome: http://ep.yimg.com/ay/yhst-16154415767246/cockitrus-rooster-3.gif
Gotta agree about the chicken warrior – he looks cool… especially the weapon. Not even sure what to call that. Double spear-mace?
I don’t know about anyone else but at the end of that ”HALF CHUB”

Haha cool! I like the banner edit.
I can actually make some sense out of this toy.
Even though Tony Stark could design a phone better than the iPhone (take his phone that controlled the screens in Iron Man 2), he is still a billionaire and wants more money and profit so he buys Apple.
He makes an Iron Man suit, model 5S to promote that he now owns Apple. Since this was made around the time of Iron Man 3, the iphone 5s was the newest model.

the color scheme just seems more like War Machine to me with the black & silver.
This is beyond belief. Great review hope to see more Bootleg zones soon, especially Galaxy Warriors and the continuing advetures of Baltard.
If they wanted an authentic iPhone Iron Man then it’s design should be stolen from Xerox, manufactured by Sharp, unable to record or play AVCHD video, and unable to recharge through micro USB, just like the real iPhone.
I’m glad that I have an Android phone. 😀
