  Search for EvanTube. To be clear, they're clearly making quite a bit of money from it - it's not all innocent kid making his own videos just for fun (my son does enjoy those kind of videos too) - unsurprisingly since it's effectively hours after hours of toy / videogame advertising, and they have a fairly professional setup. My son, though, interestingly doesn't often ask for any of the stuff he showcases, though he does ask me to help build home-grown versions of some of the lego. And it got him into Minecraft. My son now wants his own YouTube channel (lucky me - I've been put in charge of getting the technical side sorted out), and his own Minecraft server, and Evan is by far his favourite "celebrity". And this is the most professionally produced YouTube channel he watches. In general he seems to care more about watching a kid around his age that he can relate to than how professional the video is (e.g. he actively dislikes a lot of the adults doing toy / videogame review videos)
