We’re exploring the phenomenon of blind box toys. – Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) – Good Mythical Morning. – If you don’t know about blind box toys. Well, you are not alone. I first heard about them about 10 minutes ago. – Apparently, these are wildly popular sets of toys that come in multiple varieties. And I’m just now realizing that we used to get the Lego package. – Who’s we? – My kids. – I was like I wasn’t there. – They’re like sets of Legos, like minifigures. And you didn’t know what you were going to get? Where it’s kind of like a Happy Meal. without the best part, which is the nuggets. I’m a collector at heart, so maybe this is for me. – Well, nothing really made it click for me until 9 minutes ago, when I saw this TikTok of someone unboxing one. – [Group] Bok Choy! Bok Choy! Bok Choy! – Sonny Angel? – In front of your coworkers who care, obviously a lot. – They’re getting paid to do this. The boss is going to be really happy. – Wow. Is it money? She got the one that she wanted? – It’s whatever a Sonny Angel is. – [Stevie] She loves, she loves Bok Choy. – Oh, yes. Right. – It’s a naked child? – No, it’s a little gnome figurine that has bok choy on its head. – Okay. We are expecting to exhibit that same level of enthusiasm when we open some blind boxes today. – Yes, we are. – It’s time for. Gambling Has Never Been So Cute. The Blind Box Challenge. ((Music)) – [Stevie] All right, boys, here’s your first blind box. Your goal is to wind up unboxing your favorite figure in each line up as many times as possible. I’ll explain as we go along. In front of you right now, you have the town musician’s set of Sonny Angels. – I keep looking at multiple boxes and they’re all the same. Now, I understand. There are town musicians inside this. – [Stevie] So, Sonny Angels are like the trendiest, like most popular blind box toys right now. So I want you to each choose a box. Don’t open it, Link. – I already haven’t. – [Stevie] But, okay, Rhett, you pick one. Okay, don’t open it. I’m going to give you the chance to earn opportunities to open more and get more boxes. But first, we want you to take part in a very important blind box ritual, which is look at this graphic, look at it, and pick out the one that’s your favorite that you are hoping to unbox today. – [Rhett] I think I’m going with the one that’s holding the cheese because as much as I love playing guitar. I love playing guitar, like the donkey. I like eating cheese a little bit more. – [Link] I want the drum playing donkey. – [Stevie] Okay. Cheese and drum. So to increase your chances of getting the blind box that you’re looking for, I’m going to ask you some trivia questions. And each one you get right, you get to have an additional box to open. – I hope it’s not Sonny Angel trivia. – [Stevie] This isn’t, it’s an easy one. This first one. It’s easy. The first person to legibly write the correct answer, and show me your whiteboard wins. – Oh, it’s a speed round? – [Stevie] This one. What variety of Sonny Angel did the TikToker in the intro open? – Bok Choy. – [Stevie] Link. – You said it. – [Stevie] You said veggie? – Oh, I thought. Oh, I thought it was. – You’re the one who told me. – The set. – It was Bok Choy. – The veggie set. – Whatever you thought, – Oh you meant the specific variety. Okay, ((Laughing)) – What’s the name of the line? – So I get to pick one? – [Stevie] You get another one. Yeah, again, don’t open it. Just put it in your pile. Okay. For this next question, I’m going to show you a very inventive blind box selection technique that some people use. So take a look – I stole this scale from my mom, and I’m going to use it to find the Sonny Angel that I want. I really want the Bok Choy series. – She wants the Bok Choy too. – They all ended up weighing 1.5 ounces except this one that was ((Bleep)) ounces. So fingers crossed that the Bok Choy is in here. – Did she say the F-word? – Yeah. – Look at the guy. – Look how freaking cute he is. – Why does everybody want this Bok Choy? – [Stevie] The question is, what was the weight of the Bok Choy? – 1.7 ounces. – 1.6 ounces. – [Stevie] It’s 1.6. – Dang it! -[Stevie] Rhett, you can choose another box. Okay. There is a rare non-baby figure included in all Sonny Angel sets called a Robby. Here’s a Robby. – Robby is some sort of a. – Are we guessing what Robby is? – Blue mammal? – [Stevie] No. So the question is, what are the chances of pulling a Robby? – Pulling a Robby? – [Stevie] Closest answer wins. – Oh, I see. That’s one of the mystery ones. – What are the chances? – Okay, 1 in 100. – 1 in 250. – Oh, wow. – [Stevie] It’s 1 in 144. – Oh, you’re closer. – Yes. Yes, I pulled a Robby. Maybe I did, that’d be ironic. – What if you did? – [Stevie] Okay, complete the blank. The Sonny Angel website describes Sonny Angel as the little boy angel who will. I’m looking for a phrase Johnny Angel. The little angel who will. – Johnny Angel? ((Laughing)) – What’s his name? – Sonny Angel. I mean, that might be one of them. – Who is Johnny? – Sonny Angel is the little boy angel who will not be your son or an angel. But is a ton of fun. – Sonny Angel. The little angel who will F your S up. ((Laughing)) – That might be it. – It’s censored. They censor. – [Stevie] Okay, this is closest wins. ((Laughing)) The answer was Sunny Angel is a little boy Angel who will make you smile. – Ton of fun. – Smile starts with an S. F your smile up. – Ton of fun. You could, S could have been smile. – Yep. ((Laughing)) And I could effortlessly do that. – But it also is like. – [Stevie] A ton of fun is like – But if you F your smile up, that takes your smile away. – [Stevie] That is correct and Rhett can pick another box. – Yeah. – Forward your smile up. – [Stevie] Okay, next question. Who on our crew owns a Sonny Angel? There are multiple people, so naming any one of them will suffice. The first person to yell “Buzz” when I’m finished speaking gets the answer first. And if you’re wrong, the box will automatically go to your opponent and go. – Buzz! – Isabelle. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Rhett. – Meghan. – [Stevie] You get the point. – Yeah! – [Stevie] You’ve now allotted yourself all your boxes, and you can open it, open them and look for your fav. – You go first since you have four. – Okay. – So again, you were hoping for what? – Cheese! And got it first one. ((Cheers)) – I did it! I did it. I love this. – No way. You freaking got a cheese? If you cheese sweep this thing, I’m gonna be so jealous. – Now, what did you want? – I want the dog so bad. Oh, I got the chicken. – Link, can I draw your attention to the crotch of cheese? – It’s anatomically correct. – He has a little peen. All right, give me another cheese. Oh, I got the guitar, which was my second choice. Yeah. ((Cheers)) – No points for that, though. All right, let me go. Let me go. What did I get? – What did I get guys? Come on, give me a doggy. Who is this? This is a loser with a cymbal. ((Laughing)) – Oh, Link. What did you want? You wanted the one with the drum? I got that one too. ((Cheers)) I’m cleaning up, y’all. – No, hold on. That was not it. This is, this one’s special. – Hold on. Hold on. I got the one. – [Stevie] You got the Robby. You got the Robby. ((Cheers)) – I can’t believe. And Robby came with a drum. ((Laughing)) – Woo, in the world. This is the most fun I’ve had in years. – You freaking pulled a Robby? – I pulled a Robby and he already has your instrument. ((Laughing)) I’ve got choice one, choice two, Robby, and his favorite thing. Well, I mean, what’s going to be in here? A gold nugget. – Even the drum, I can’t open it. It’s the donkey. With the guitar. This guy is so rare. How rare is that one? – [Stevie] 1 in 144. – Wow. – And I did get the one with the drum. ((Laughing)) ((Cheers)) ((Laughing)) – Look just so, okay, by way of review. I got the one I wanted I got the other one I wanted I got the one you wanted and I got Robby with a drum that you also wanted. ((Laughing)) – I just wanted you to be happy. – I am so happy. – I mean. ((Laughing)) I am so happy. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Okay, boys. So in front of you now are Smiskis. – Smiskis. – [Stevie] Which are blind box toys made by Dream Inc, the same company that makes Sonny Angels, but Smiskis are curious little creatures that love hiding in small spaces and corners of your room. They have some big fans on TikTok and here. – And all these say exercising? – Yes, they’re exercising. – So, is it an exercising set? – [Stevie] This is the exercising series lineup. So go ahead and choose your. – You got yours? – [Stevie] Your character. – Well, actually, I just chose the one closest to me. Let me get a different one. – Maybe that was fate. – [Stevie] Well, and choose your, you know, your favy. – You know what? I’m going to take the one that Rhett took first since he was so good at this. And now he’s thinking too hard. So I’ve taken his box. – Okay, I’m. – Doing crunches, aerobics, balance, dumbbell, hoop or stretches. – I’m a stretchy guy. I stretch every morning. I have to do it for health. So I’m going to be Stretch, was also my nickname and I’m not joking about that. – I’ll just go with, you know what? I’m being drawn to doing crunches. You can do it anywhere you need. Nothing except a torso. – Correct. – [Stevie] Okay, stretch and crunches. – We both picked honestly the boring ones because they don’t have anything besides just their body. – I know. I like that, though. – [Stevie] Okay, take a look at this TikTok. – I got more. So let’s open this. So let’s start with the museum series. I really want the one, like the painter, the one with the paint palette. – He really wants it. Is he going to get it? – [Stevie] Yeah. So how many boxes do you predict this creator will have to open until they get one of the Smiskis they identify as the one they were hoping? – For. – Oh, I said it was gonna be a high number. We were going to go all the way through the set. – Either way, I’m expecting a time ramp. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – Okay. Let’s see. Oh, oh, oh. I got the one with two of them. Now let’s open up the other museum one. It’s two again? – So that wasn’t? – That wasn’t it. – Oh, I got it. Wait. Oh, my gosh. I got the one with the palette. – Oh, I thought it was going to be cool and it was going to take forever. – So, it took him two? So I was closer. – You get it. – Yes. – [Stevie] Pick a box. – You get another Smiski. – [Stevie] Okay. We found this eBay listing selling the rare secret figure from the Smiski museum collection with 22 watchers. How much do you think the seller listed it for? And closest answer will win. – 169.99. – $86. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – Oh 269? 69 on the brain. – Good gracious. – [Stevie] And the regular like not special one goes for $10, by the way. – So now you got another one. – [Stevie] Okay. Who on our crew owns a Smiski. This time around, you can’t choose Meghan because. – Okay. And do we say it? Because we were. – [Stevie] The first person to buzz – Buzz. – [Stevie] Gets a chance of entering. But if they’re wrong, it automatically goes to the next person, and go. – Jasmine. – [Stevie] Well, I’ll accept it. Even though I wasn’t finished talking. And you said “buzz” in the middle of me talking and that was not part of the directions. But you did guess correctly and you did say buzz first. – Gosh, Jasmine. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Okay, I’m going to show you individual Smiski figures one by one, all from the same set. The first person who can figure out and verbally call out what the theme of the set is takes the next box. – What’s that? A pooping one? – He’s scared. It’s a little bit scared, little bit, maybe. – Emotions. Oh, this one really has to pee. This one is like, I got to use the bathroom. – I think maybe he’s got a tummy ache. – So this is. – Fears. – Oh, burping. Yeah, this is all. – Gastrointestinal . – Distress. – Oh, that’s a poopy. – Yep, that’s. That’s a somebody watching me poop. – Oh, bathrooms. – It’s potty humor. That’s a toilet paper. – It is, it’s the poopy set. – [Stevie] I mean, you both are kind of, neither one of you has said like exactly what it is, but I feel like you both contributed to it. I think I want to give you each a box. Is that, I think that’s allowed? It’s the Toilet Series. – Toilet series. So I got three. You got four. Can we open? Can we open? – [Stevie] Yeah. Go ahead. – All right, you first. – [Stevie] So you’re looking for stretch. And you’re looking for crunch. -You got to pull it hard. – I got yours. ((Laughing)) I’ve got sit ups, crunches. I’ve got the crunchy one. All right. – Oh, I get to go. Please be in there. Oh, no, it’s not. – What is this guy? – [Stevie] It’s a secret one. – It’s a secret one? Even better. ((Cheers)) What are the chances? This is a holding your own breast? What is this guy doing? – He’s flexing. So he’s still in the set, but he’s doing something cooler. He’s flexing. Okay. – Yes, I’ve gotten a rarity. – All right. Hula hoop, doubles as a ring. – But it’s not what you wanted. – Not what I wanted. – You’re the stretchy, I want the crunchy. And I got another completely ((Cheers)) Two of the flexors. – Hold on, this is like 1 in 100 chance, right? What is this? What are the chances on this one? – [Stevie] These are the secret ones, not the other. But they are very rare. – And stretchy. ((Cheers)) – All right, do I actually want crunches now or do I want a third flexor? Does it feel like a flexor? No, it’s a dumbbell guy. – Okay, so, Link, you’ve got two secret ones. I have yours and mine. The only way I can make this better is if I also get a secret one or just get yours again. – You can’t even open it. – Oh, I doubled up the rings. – Look at that. Sometimes you hit the bar and sometimes the bar hits you. – I’ll trade you the two rings for two secrets. – Nope. ((Music)) – Do we have more boxes? – Happy Cotton Candy Day, Daddies. – Hey, Randy. – I brought you boxes of treasures and if you meet me in the parking lot after this, I have a bonus treasure for you. Wink. – Okay. – Want to hear a sweet nothing? – Well, of course. ((Breathing)) Last year, Rhett, Link, and I met with a therapist who was so disturbed by us that I heard she gave up her license and moved to Costa Rica. to be an ayahuasca shaman. So this year we tried mediation and it’s available to watch on Mythical Society now for first, second and third degree members. – Wow. Yeah, it was great. It was a very productive session. I thought. – You know, it did give me a lot of hope to bring in an actual professional mediator to work with well, I’ll say the three of us, that’s what we did. And to see the results. Yeah. Go to the Mythical Society. – Next year, the mediation is going to be on international waters. That’s when stuff’s really going to get nuts. I hear that, wink. – Thanks, Randy. – Yeah. Have fun. Four out of eight of those have been in my mouth. Guess which ones. Bye daddies. – Bye. – [Stevie] Okay. – What are these? – [Stevie] Well, those look somewhat familiar because you learned a little bit about. – [Rhett] Oh, Sanrio. – Hello Kitty and her friends. – [Stevie] Before we start, go ahead and pick out your free box and your favorite character from the Sanrio Miniso? Miniso Strawberry Farm Box Set. – Okay, my melody Cinnamoroll is tempting. Pompompurin. I’m going to go with Pom Pom because it’s a dog. – I’m going to go with Kuromi because it looks evil. – Okay. All right. – I don’t know if that’s the one. – This is the one that I want. I already have it. – This is the one I want. – [Stevie] Okay, so there are only two questions this round, but each one is worth three boxes, so there’s a lot on the line. – What? Okay. – [Stevie] And of course, your first question is which member of the Mythical Crew has one of these? You can’t choose Meghan, you can’t choose Jasmine. You have to scream, “buzz” and tell me a name. – [Link] Chappie. – [Stevie] Incorrect. The three boxes go to Rhett. – Okay. – Well, I just scored big time. I scored big time. – All right. – [Stevie] Okay. This is the second question. Critics said the blind box craze went too far back in 2021 when what unorthodox item started being sold in blind boxes in China? Okay. ((Laughing)) – Adult toys. – That’s what I was gonna say. I was gonna say dildos. ((Laughing)) – So both. That’s both our answer. He went first. – [Stevie] Incorrect. You have a second guess? – Dead animals? – Sad things. – [Stevie] Close. – Roadkill. – Dead people. – [Stevie] It was live animals, many of which died in China. – Oh, so I get the boxes? ((Laughing)) – I get one of them. I don’t even know why you would get three of them. – Because you were the last one to guess. – I’m the one who said dead animals. – [Stevie] Just start unboxing. – All right, you go first. You don’t need this. And I got boring. – That one. All right, now it’s my turn, and I got. I don’t think this is what I wanted. It does have holes in it so it can breathe. Oh, look, it is a dog. – It’s another dog. – That’s not the dog I picked though. – It’s another dog. I got. Oh, the one that’s in the thing. Oh I guess it hides in there. Oh, it’s like a topsy turvy thing. – I think my dog is inside of a. – No, it’s this one. – No, my dog is pushing a wheelbarrow. All right. Come on, PomPom. Here we. Oh, no. Who is this loser? ((Laughing)) This is just some. Some loser in a swing. – Okay, here we go. Going for a Kuromi. And I got it. ((Cheers)) – Yes. Evil! – Please, baby, please. Baby, please. ((Cheers)) – I got it.

There is his. – Okay. – His wheelbarrow. – Now, let’s see what I got. – He’s pushing a wheelbarrow. – Can I get another one of the ones that I wanted? No, but I can get the one Link wanted. ((Cheers)) – It’s not special. Another one? That’s the one that you go inside. – He’s drunk in his wheelbarrow again. – I got the little doggy as well. – The other doggy. – [Stevie] Okay.
