More reasons about why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies...

"Still, any YouTube videos of them are my most demanding things that I ever enjoyed in my lifestyle with my PVZ collection... I already know if they aren't that good quality, but one of videos on YouTube (especially for ...'s [name of that popular YouTuber who reviewed them]) got over 25 million views which made me super impressed..." Me from my main Instagram
Ugh, you aren't gonna believe it... It's time for more of my points of what I did on my post entitled "Reason why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies..."... This time, I will gonna share you about it way more throughout than the original post of me with those Plants vs. Zombies toy brand that is very popular in the west... Since there are some flaws on this Plants vs. Zombies toy brand from what I experienced on most of the ones that I obtained, I'll include them in here as well. So, here are more reasons about why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies...
First off, you may remember the Watching videos of them point on that original post of me with them? Well, if you're familiar with that, yes... I thought you may remember my statement on that point that I wrote on that, like this:
"Despite I wasn't expecting before if K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies ttoys 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..."
Well, turned out if K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toys are also my main things to collect in my Plants vs. Zombies collection (especially for most of the plants). Doesn't matter how my country only have those cheap Plants vs. Zombies toys that are available (such as popper shooting toys, generic PVC toys, and some crappy, garbage Lego-based toys of the game itself), I always choose this one for that reason. I keep watching YouTube review videos of them by various toy collector, commenting them (especially for the ones that I wanted), and most of the users replied me with certain words. You may ask about this point like this: "How about you watching videos of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies on YouTube these days?" Well, not much difference between from what I commented about them first time back in 2014 until now. Although K'NEX released few of their Plants vs. Zombies blind bag series and building sets, it doesn't matter, I keep commenting on them, especially for my favorite characters from there. I also do so on other social medias as well, such as Instagram, but it's rarely seen that much compared to YouTube for obvious reasons. Unless I search certain users who have them, but still counts as a very hard task to search them, so. On the other hand though, for YouTube, there are lot of videos of them by various YouTubers, but only few of them that got so many views compared to the others. In conclusion, I keep watching YouTube videos of them, and turned out these Plants vs. Zombies toys are also my main things to collect in my Plants vs. Zombies collection as for now.
(This picture belongs to somebody who sold it on e-Bay, and now it's unavailable anymore)
Then, another reason about why I'm doing so it's because their trend in their old days. I didn't address this reason in my original post of me with them, so I'm gonna share it right now... So, back during I was searching about my favorite Plants vs. Zombies collection in both YouTube and few random online shops, then I came across those things. I was like, "That would be cool if I own those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies toys, especially for those characters" Well, I did, but not in a good way to start collecting them... Remember those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2 blind bags that I obtained back in 2015? If yes, I obtained them back then due to I was totally impressed by those reviews of them on YouTube before. Also, remember those K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 1 and 3 that I obtained back in 2016 to 2017? If yes, I obtained them back then with exact same reason.  You may ask like this related to this point: "How about bootleg Lego-based Plants vs. Zombies toys? Do you enjoy them due to their trend?" Well, no. Especially for those ones that doesn't make any sense at all (I feel bad for kids who already owned those garbage nonsense, though). Because all of that, there's no way if I choose K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies over all of those garbage bootleg Lego-based Plants vs. Zombies toys (especially for those nonsense sets that nobody wants), unless I already got all of the ones that I wanted from this toy brand, then I decided to get some bootleg yet decent alternative toys.
Lastly, another reason about why I'm doing so... Just take a look of somebody who commented on one (or maybe some) of K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies videos on YouTube:
"These are so cool... loving the blind bags... and they're Plants vs Zombies, what more could you want?"
Exactly from what somebody commented like that on YouTube, what more could you want if K'NEX made their Plants vs. Zombies toys like so. In my opinion, yes, I always want them, because most of the characters are look pretty cool to me. Not a fanciest thing that I ever seen so far, but they're still looks pretty cool though... Again, based on one of my points on my original post of this, Watching videos on them, I watched several review videos on them on YouTube, and I collect them as much as possible. You may ask like this, "What's your favorite Plants vs. Zombies in this toy brand?" Well, mainly plants, especially for Peashooters. I like them, due to their pure design that they designed from there, and although they're made in China due to they sent their designs to some factories in China, it's still counts as a pretty cool toys for their small size. Since those are obviously Lego-based toys, you can mount them on Lego studs as their authenticity... Speaking about the zombies though, not much things that I can say about them; they're just basically a normal figure toys, rather than action toys like most of the plants do, which is also one bonus point that I like on them.
You may think if this Plants vs. Zombies toy brand doesn't have any disadvantages? Well, you're wrong, if you already checked most parts of My Plants vs. Zombies collection series. There are plenty amount of disadvantages in certain aspects from what I experienced on the ones that I have, such as quality on them, the way how I get them, and some more disadvantages related to this toy brand. So, here are summary of disadvantages of them:

1. General

  • The prices of them are sometimes expensive on international online shops, especially for building sets.
  • Some of the characters are repeated from one series to another. For instance, that Sunflower from Series 1 K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies blind bags are also featured again in Series 3 K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies blind bags.

2. The way how I get them

  • Unlike those cheap Chinese original Plants vs. Zombies toys, it's insanely difficult to me to get them from USA (or other countries that sells them too) to Indonesia, unless I have to keep buying it through a local online shops that connects to e-Bay.
  • Everytime I buy it, the shipping price and taxes are always expensive, depends on how big the sets are that are being on sale before I buy it. This also applies on other stuffs as well with exact same traits.

3. Quality

  • They feel really cheap. For instance, if I bent the Sunflower's stem too much, it leaves a white stressing mark to it.
  • Lot of goofs that are always occurred in every single toys, from minor to defective. The goofs about them are mentioned in here.
So, that's the more reasons about why I bought K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies. I know if those still doesn't exist yet in my country in general, but I always wanted them for multitude reasons that I mentioned before. Once again, that's it from what I can say about this Plants vs. Zombies toy brand... I don't think I will post my "Yet more reasons" about why I bought them, and thanks for reading this post.

ANSWERS:

  1. Original PC and GOTY versions, and recently, Android free versions.
  2. That HD version of the game (the one that is optimized for iPads or tablets).
  3. NES/Famicom bootleg of the game, and some bootleg Plants vs. Zombies games that I mentioned on that Bootleg Plants vs. Zombies games... post.
  4. Zombotany, It's Raining Seeds, Seeing Stars, Big Trouble Little Zombie, Whack A Zombie, and Last Stand.
  5. Well, sometimes when I'm bored.
  6. Yes, I do. I play it so often because I can plant plants with my determined setup that I always planned in each of the Survival modes. Of course it depends on what zombies that I have to fight against them in each of the modes themselves.
  7. Repeater (including it's upgrade plant). However, in Plants vs. Zombies 2, I don't use it so often due to there are lot of alternative plants that do their job better than the plant itself.
  8. Melon-pult (including it's upgrade plant). However, in Plants vs. Zombies 2, I don't use it so often due to I prefer it to Winter Melon for obvious reasons, but I sometimes use it in most of the levels, so.
  9. Overall, this is a very good original game to play. However, I only play it just on my spare time when I'm bored or no chores available that involve my computer.
  10. Just Android version of the game.
  11. Save Our Seeds (unless they're hard enough to protect), Locked and Loaded (unless they're hard to use certain plants that they given), and Dave's mold colonies (unless they're placed everywhere on the lawn).
  12. Any Premium Plant Quest of the money or gem premium plants that I have, and recently, Inzanity epic quests.
  13. "Don't let zombies trample the flowers" objective. Unless the flowers are planted way closer to the player's house.
  14. So far, Wild West - Day 35.
  15. Highway to the Danger Room, Arthur's Challenge, and Tiki Torch-er.
  16. Probably the Arma-mint, but I'm not sure, due to I still don't familiar with them yet for obvious reasons.
  17. Between Sun-shroom or Primal Sunflower.
  18. Recently, Sap-fling.
  19. Snow Pea (albeit it's so weak in the game), Starfruit (in terms of performance), and Cactus (again, in terms of performance).
  20. Squash (in terms of performance), Fire Peashooter, and Sap-fling.
  21. Very hard to determine, but my favorite world in Plants vs. Zombies 2 is Frostbite Caves (despite it's medium difficulty).
  22. Some Neon Mixtape Tour jams.
  23. This game is very good to play, although there are lot of difficulties of how to make the game runs fairly well in most of the devices... Also, it depends on which game modes on it that I can beat them with ease... And also, it depends on how strong the plants are, because if you want to amplify the levels on each of the plants, I have to play the game quite often in order to collect some more coins and spend some coins on each of the plants that are ready to be increased on their next levels of each of them.
  24. Unfortunately, no, I don't. It's because I'm suck with that card-based game with this game's theme, so I don't think I will play it so often, although I still keep the app itself on my phone.
  25. I used to watch them, but since I watched many videos by various YouTubers of non-Plants vs. Zombies stuffs (such as electric fans, stuff destructions, fake console reviews, etc), I don't think I will watch them back, except for that Peashooter gestures video.
  26. Peashooter (obviously), Sunflower, Rose, and Kernel Corn (in terms of performance).
  27. Not much I can say about that game since they shut it down in October of 2014. It was a reasonably fine game, anyway.
  28. Yes, I do. I did that once with Plants vs. Zombies 2, by doing so between my old phone and my current phone. I did follow the guide from this page, and it turned out worked just fine. Albeit the game itself has the way how to restore my previous game's progress from my old phone to my current phone, I already done that first by doing so using a data file.
  29. Those PVC toys that looks like these:
    (Well, the one on the center is slightly less common than the others)
  30. Those crappy bootleg Lego Plants vs. Zombies nonsense garbage. Not sure about those that looks legit that are directly made in China.
  31. Probably those Diamond Select Toys, but they're too fancy to me.
  32. K'NEX, despite it's cheap quality, but they're valuable to me (especially for the plants).
  33. Possibly all of my Peashooters in my collection are my favorites (except one). Plus, most of the plants as well.
  34. plants vs zombies toys, plants vs zombies figures, plants vs zombies knex, pvz toy, pvz toys, pvz knex, pvz k'nex, kfc plants vs zombies, lego plants vs zombies, lego pvz, plants vs zombies animation, pvz animation, etc.
  35. Yes, I do. I already featured it on my bonus part of Your electric fan videos these days... post.
  36. Expensive price of most of the stuffs, difficulty of how I get them, and various other weaknesses of me collecting them.
  37. Yes, I do, which is this one:
  38. Recently, there was a Plants vs. Zombies geek complained about me in my YouTube channel of fans about why I'm using my current profile picture like so... He said to me in one of my fan video's comment section like this: "Really dumb". Then, I replied to him, and he replied me back like this: "It's just the fan moving!" blah blah blah... Well, that's one example of weakness of my YouTube channel of fans. The other one was some weirdo asked me about my profile picture some years ago... Overall, that's two weaknesses of my YouTube channel of fans, but it's rarely happened, unless there's another Plants vs. Zombies geek suddenly visits my channel of fans and posts some hate comments on them.
Enjoy!
