Ayeee long time no see 👉 👉 I watched with my army on the first day and this yoshi fella is here too (yes he got his own ticket too fr)

I been in brumation

Anyway, it looks like the gang's all here!!! Yoshi deserved that ticket him big

Rather than be smart and return it, I have decided to bite the bullet for the plushie community and show everyone the difference between a real San-Ei Bowser Jr/Koopa Jr plushie, and the cheap fakes shipping from China.

The one on the left is real. Look closely at the shape of the eyebrows.

Now look at their bellies. Big difference in the bibs. A real Jr plushie will have an embroidered bib, with a sewed liner. The fake is cheap unlined felt with a screen printed mouth. Next is the feet. Real Jr has plushie pads with beans inside, where the fake just has printed ones. (Note: all of the other Koopalings have embroidery around their pads, but Jr doesn’t. He shares this trait with his Dad; the real plushie for Bowser Sr doesn’t have embroidery on his pads either.)

Big tell here: the fake’s back looks like crap. The little saucers around the horns are flimsy orange felt on the fake, while the real one has stiffer brown felt. Take note of the bib too- the real one is knotted and anchored to the neck with a stitch, while the fake is just tied.

Most important is the tag. I can read Japanese, as I lived in Japan for a year. But even someone with a basic knowledge of katakana can see that the one on the left (the fake) says “Teresa” while the one on the right (the real) says “Kuppa JR”. Teresa is the Japanese name for Boo, while Kuppa JR is Bowser Jr. Even the tag is cheap- on the real one, the tag is coated and the loop is ribbon. On the fake, the tag is uncoated and the loop is vinyl.

So, what have we learned here? Double check your purchases. Don’t buy from a seller who won’t show you the tags. If the tag says テレサ then it’s fake. If the bib is printed then it’s a fake.

You’re so cool
