Reason why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies...

Hello! Welcome to the another post of the Plants vs. Zombies collection. This time, I will explain about one of the toy brands that I already have in my collection. You may read the following posts, like This is what happens if KFC provided PvZ toys, and series of My Plants vs. Zombies collection in each of the parts, despite I'm not get these Plants vs. Zombies toys so often due to my daily business. For some reason, I just decided to bought several of very rare Plants vs. Zombies toy brands which came from USA that nobody have them in my country before (In case you don't know, I live in Indonesia), which is K'NEX. You may ask the question like this: Why you bought the K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies? Not Jazwares or other toy brands? It's because I was impressed by how they look, despite I didn't impressed by the zombies came with that brand for a bit. Other than that, there are some of the reasons why I bought the K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies in general, so here are the reasons below:

1. Watching YouTube videos of them

Yes, you guessed it. I was impressed by this Plants vs. Zombies toy brand due to I recently watched several of the YouTube videos of them. So, here is a very first K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies video that I ever watched:
Despite I wasn't expecting before if K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toys was the good alternate of state of the art Plants vs. Zombies toys, it turned out it's a very nice toys to collect them all, unless you have two or more person to own them though. I know if I was stuck in the pirate bootleg ones, but after I watched some of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies. I dared to bought some of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toys with expensive taxes after a year later after the official K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies has been released. However, every I attempted to bought these toys, my parents didn't want us to buy any of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies or other stuffs that are sold outside my country due to how expensive the taxes are.

2. Somebody claims who also have several of those toys, but...

Not only due to I watched several of YouTube videos of them, I also dared to bought them due to somebody claims on Facebook few years ago, on several pictures of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies prototypes on it's Plants vs. Zombies Facebook page. He/she is also from Indonesia, and I believe it's probably from Cirebon, West Java (from what I'd remember when I checked his account). He/she commented like these below here, from what I ascertained:
  • Is that a toys?
  • I have them all
  • And what's that dark Bonk Choy?*
  • But I don't have the Snow Pea*
 * means it's from K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2

Well, this list is a bit inaccurate, but there we are! I thought he/she was the first person who nicely bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toys that nobody in Indonesia have them, but I don't even know, as there is no any pictures of them as the proof. If he/she was the first person who bought them, and I came second (if it's real), is it just a joke? If he/she made the joke if he/she commented like those as pretended to be got several of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies, I'm feeling lucky, as the first person who got K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies in our country (with all of the proofs of actual pictures, also I'm not completely bragging though, because all I got here always with my own money).

3. KFC Plants vs. Zombies in Indonesia

These were the first toys that I wanted so badly, but due to how scarce them was, I was cried by how they look too. Well, after I found some of good alternate ones on internet, I prefered the K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies first until I found the KFC Plants vs. Zombies toys from several of the people who kept them. I know if every KFC toys only lasted about some weeks, but K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies last longer until now, and I had a chance to get several of the sets, especially the blind bags. But now, based on My Plants vs. Zombies collection (part 2, SPECIAL), everything went done on my collection due to KFC Plants vs. Zombies has been entered on my collection in the meantime when I got them.

So, there we are for the reason why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies. Here are the proofs from my first picks (even they are just plants), in case you forgot to check in My Plants vs. Zombies collection series:
K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2 figures, Cabbage-pult and an infamous Snow Pea
K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies, Series 1, Sunflower
K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies, Series 1, Bloomerang
K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 3, Fire Peashooter (as well as one of the spoilers of My Plants vs Zombies collection [part 3], and stay tuned for that part, so)
