what is a midfake? Are they worth buying? and are they made by Takara Tommy? I'll be uncovering the
truth about midfakes in this video, as well as my controversial opinion that some Beyblades should
not exist. Beyblades that should not exist is a pretty bold statement and I don't say it lightly.
Some Beyblades are so ridiculous that it begs the question why the F-? whether it's bad gimmicks,
a bad color scheme, or worse yet when the full stock combo is sh!t- sorry, sorry... but I reckon
you may feel the same way sometimes. Beyblade has been around since the early 2000s and by golly
we're still here talking about it 22 years later! Some of you watching may have grown up using these
little spinning death bombs, and you may feel damn nostalgic when you think back on these fond
memories; the only thing is when you ran- I mean, I suppose you still run to the market, or when you
just started typing away at your mobile device to buy some new shiny and "plastic" Beyblades. Yeah,
okay new Beyblades aren't quite what you remember, heck even for players starting now it's like "why
are these Evolutions so huge?". These beys you grew up with have definitely changed
with each new iteration, but let me assure you there's still loads of fun. There is a
slew of Beyblades that have been made in tandem with every release of the Takara Tomy Beyblades
that just don't meet our quality standards. That is, there is a company that's making Beyblades
but truth is they suck! There I said it, and they're sucky Beys they burst easy, they break,
and burst too easy!.. Wait did I just say that? Well you may know them as normal Beyblades,
heck your whole collection may be filled with them. Of course I'm talking about fake
Beyblades. Ah you thought I was talking about Hasbro didn't you? Well it's true that Hasbro
Beyblades can easily fall into this category but they're not fake. Maybe nerfed Beyblades,
I mean Hasbro does make Nerf. Truth of the matter is they've done good for the community. Hasbro
Beyblades introduced young Bladers to the Hobby- nay the sport! Now by having a diverse amount
of Beyblade stadiums they keep others quite occupied trying to find what perfect Stadium
and perfect launch, or over powered combination that will work on these stadiums. Yes it's true
Hasbro Beyblades are less formidable in battle as they're quick to burst, but for a true blader this
is just part of the game. Hasbro has become a part of most collections, especially in North America.
There is however a few brands of Beyblades that literally should not exist. Not only because
of their poor quality both in performance and durability, but because they can contain lead.
Yeah that dirty stuff. It doesn't matter what season of Beyblade you're purchasing, there's
likely a fake counterpart to every beyblade ever made. This not only hurts the Bladers using them
by potentially poisoning them with every use, it hurts the companies like Hasbro and Takara
as they don't see the true size of the Beyblade Community. This affects Sellers and the Very
people who may support Beyblade by owning their own shops online or physical; making it harder to
sell original products and possibly encouraging some to sell fakes themselves. With the rise in
popularity of Beyblades even YouTubers have put their own health and safety at risk by using,
promoting and even selling these counterfeits, (even though it's against YouTube policies). Yeah
I'm going there! Just like Legos, action figures and Pokémon cards we'll likely see an increase
in the amount of fakes produced and being sold. The first time I encountered fakes I wasn't even
aware of it. I was just excited to get a golden Beyblade like this Fafnir. Some websites are even
well known for having these fake Beyblade parts, like this handle or Beyblade grip that is actually
found on the Wish app, and this one of my most famous Beyblade parts it's the sucker Cup driver;
that you've probably seen on one of my most watched videos. Like I said many times before
in other videos you can actually use these to modify. I actually use this one so that I can make
a burst metal series Beyblade. How good is it? Well you're gonna have to find out for yourself,
and that's at your own risk because a lot of the metal in these parts does contain lead.
From these experiences I have learned that usually golden Beyblades that are very shiny
are not very good, and likely are fake. Are these the mid fakes? The a famed mid fakes?
Okay let's let's take a seat because now I'm gonna go into depth talking about mid fakes. First of
all from what I've researched, "midfake" is in many ways a misunderstood word made up by Bladers
and the Beyblade Community. Some say that they're made from old Takara Tomy molds and most important
of all they have the Takara Tomy logo. Mid fakes are considered to be high quality Beyblades from
the Metal Fusion Seasons that were once available, but have since been discontinued. It maybe this is
because of the show's end or a drop in popularity, but they're now somehow available for a reasonable
price. In most cases the Takara Tomy logo can be found on the launchers and can include a
specific manufacturer's code on the box, which may convince some Bladers as to their legitimacy. Some
believe that they're beys that maybe didn't make the quality standards of Takara Tomy,
but now we've been so lucky as to have these sellers provide them. Well that's not the case,
let me elaborate: they have some of the gimmicks but the quality isn't like Takara Tomy,
now that alone should send red flags. But here's the thing, I have found the place where they make
the mid fakes and guess what? That company also makes flame brand, S3 and what's even
more disturbing is that you can even put your own logo on the packaging. That means that for
a little bit more money I can issue an order for fake Beyblades with the TT logo on it,
or heck let's get wild and add the Beyblade dad logo on them! This is the giant Alibaba,
it's a wholesale marketplace where you could find anything from Don Perignon for a dollar a bottle,
Louis Vuitton bags for $15 to yes you guessed it Takara Tomy Beyblades for five dollars.
This is where the mid fakes come from. They're made, packaged and sold by a Chinese knockoff
manufacturer with the same materials as flame brand S3 and even rapidity Beyblades. So let's
just call it what it is, and these mid fakes are well, fakes. Not "midfakes", there's no such thing
as a mid fake. They are literal fakes coming from the same company as the other flame brands, and
the rapidity as I mentioned. And heck nobody is safe from them, not even Hasbro! You can get this
from that same company, it is insane! So is this the best option that we have? Going with Hasbros?
I think so so. How can you tell if the Beyblades that you already have are mid fakes? Well I'm not
really that sure, and for the most part it's just better if you do a lead test check on them. I know
I do. So far I've tested other brands like Takara Tomy, Hasbro flame, and rapidity and all to tell
us what we already know that the fake Beyblades actually do contain lead, (for the most part).
Hasbro and Takara Tomy have no traces of lead as far as my tests could tell. Should you worry
if you have mid fakes? Like I said it's best just to be sure and do a lead test check. Am I saying
that you should go out and buy these Beyblades? Certainly NOT. Especially if they're at a very
high price, you can get them for five dollars from Alibaba, (just make sure that you order
enough of them I guess). Why am I doing this? It's because I want to take the power away from these
people that are extorting our Hobbies, they don't deserve our money. They don't even care, they just
want to make a profit. I'll put a link to these videos here or here so that you can check out for
your yourself my results anyways I want to thank you for watching and of course, let's Let It Rip
