I'm seeing a lot of bootlegs in this thread, to be specific, the Frontrunner/only factory bootlegs. For some background, here's how the system worked:
-Someone wants a design mass produced
-People back it
-China child labor makes hundreds of them
They were most noticeable for making My little pony plush designs based straight off of fans ones. what's surprising is that these are sometimes better quality than the originals. In a horsefucker's world, a simple pony plush like that can go from 200-400 bucks, so seeing 20$ plushes of superior quality made them jump for joy, so what happened?
Well it turns out the artists who where ripped off found that their designs were being sold and they couldn't jew, so they enmass filled reports. so what happened? All of the sites said sorry, then blocked all american ips from going on their sites by having a fake frontpage. For other countries however, the secret inner workings are still going on, thats why we see pokemon of new gens even though they "closed" years ago.
However, there are a few things to be wary of.
-Don't buy bootlegs based off of real plushies, like the "12 INCHES" mew.
-Some designs are fucked up, so pay close attention to all possible pictures you can get of it.
And that's about it! For a bit more info, google "FrontWinner Responds to DeviantArt Artists' Plushies".
These images contain the fakes.
