Hi! Guy who knows too much about Pokemon plush here. Pretty sure that Ekans is in fact official. The tag, at least, leads me to believe it's a Third Round plush. Third Round makes officially licensed Pokemon products, however only in Korea. I know you were joking, but OlyFactory is in fact known for their pretty nice bootlegs. Whereas most bootleg plush are based on official plush, like you said, OlyFactory has their own patterns, which makes them very unique. Additionally, they've made plush of some Pokemon that don't even have official plush, like Silvally! Unfortunately, though, they got a cease and desist a few years back, so their stuff is increasingly hard to find. When it comes to Sitting Cuties (Like your Butterfree there), a great way to tell if it's a boot is the tag. Official Sitting Cuties will always be labeled either Sitting Cuties or Pokemon Fit (The Japanese name for the line) in English. So if the tag is all Japanese, it is indeed a boot. Super fun video! Bootlegs are so interesting. I'd love to see more!
Hello, thank you for your explanation. It would be great to keep learning about plushies original or bootleg. I am really surprised to know about bootleg.
I was so lucky to get the olyfactory Silvally before they they got their cease and desist. I’m sure he’s up there with Noivern as the most hard to find!
@ Ahaha… I’m jealous! I’m gonna have to wait for the Gen 7 Sitting Cuties line to finally own a plush from that evolution line. I do have one Olyfactory stuffed animal, though: their Luxray, which I absolutely adore. I think its smirk gives it such a unique expression in comparison to most of the official Luxray stuff. I’d also like to nab their Shiny Giratina eventually, but I’m not in any rush to do so, since as far as I understand that one is still insanely common.
@@fakename5052oooo ya I forgot they had a Luxray! Definitely one of their best ones! Ditto on wanting the shiny Giratina, it’s such a cool shiny. I have their shiny Umbreon and he’s literally the mascot of my collection. I love that they tackled shiny mons!
I literallly thought this was Maxmofoe but he rebranded or something, a vid idea like this and even that intro are just so him and it wasn't until I processed your voice that i realized lolll even so I loved the vid!! That Raichu though, it was like it was trying to be both alolan and kantonian forms at once. I kinda liked it tbh
The Japanese on the tags on Caterpie and Butterfree (and possibly Weedle, its tag isn't shown that clearly in the video) reads "Elf Center Fit: Green Caterpillar". I _seriously_ doubt they're legit, especially seeing how the official Japanese plushies have the Pokemon Fit logo in English on the tags.
I think the caterpie, butterfree, and weedle were legit, they all had the japanese sitting cuties tag on em Edit: nevermind they are bootlegged, the official have a similar tag but with "pokemon fit" written in english, no tags are fully japanese for pokemon tags.
@@Kirjava444 oh actually wait yall are right, I didnt notice the fake tags were fully in japanese, forgot that the official ones have "pokemon fit" written in english
I skipped to midway of the video don’t ask me why but as soon as I heard you say “rayquaza-chard” and I actually saw it looks exactly like how you described it I fuckn lost it 😂😂
Pokemon bootleg plushies are one of my favorite things! I got the rayquaza charizard, and I also got a sunflower bulbasaur from the same seller. Also at some point at a fair I decided to gnab and overpriced black pikachu.
3:27 that’s an official plush line from the early 2000’s! I can’t tell if it’s a bootleg or not, but I think it’s actually real! Lucky find, Canvas is a good series!
Sadly I think it’s a bootleg, as the inside of the tag is a common tag on boots and isn’t correct. but I have one and they are super nice quality considering ! Canvas is a really pretty line of plush too.
If you do a “shiny” pokemon plush episode, you definitely need to look out for a pink Butterfree plush! I found one at a local shop and even though it’s not the official shiny it definitely gave nostalgia from the anime :) it’s very cute.
I'm pretty sure the Bulbasaur plush is an official one I have the exact same and did some research about him out of boredom turns out he's official and from the late 2000s I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH 🗿
My mom got me a "super rare" Pikachu plushie at a flea market that was blue and I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a boot 😅 thankfully she haggled the dude and only spent 15 bucks for it
12:32 If you can speak Japanese like me, you can tell it's a fake because it doesn't say "Raichu", it says "Reikiu". Considering this was likely bought from a Chinese site, it may be a 1-to-1 transcription of its Mandarin name, "Leiqiu".
Some of them looks ok and has personality like that rock blacktoise. I didn't fully get it,did u say u purposely buy the worst? Why not get the best bootleg?

Close enough, welcome back maxmoefoe
I literallly thought this was Maxmofoe but he rebranded or something, a vid idea like this and even that intro are just so him and it wasn't until I processed your voice that i realized lolll even so I loved the vid!! That Raichu though, it was like it was trying to be both alolan and kantonian forms at once. I kinda liked it tbh
He totally gives Max vibes, even hates the hanger attachments on the plushes haha
He was making a “max” face in the thumbnail and the background is set up similar, same vibes. Hope he fills the gap max left
Almost 15 minutes of a native speaker struggling to remember the word "proportions" 🤣🤣
My brain doesn’t work
Dimensions would work in this context tho, no?
that raichu didnt look bad at all, wdym it doesnt look like a raichu?
I think he didn’t realize there’s an alolan form to raichu
1:25 Hey look, it’s the inspiration for Dragapult
That raichu was actually a very accurate alolan raichu
That Raichu is a clone of an official plushie, hes just stylized, there's not really anything wrong with him.
[9:31] peoples reaction when I take my shirt off at the beach
The thumbnail made me think you were maxmoefoe for a second lol
12:50 your saying that when there’s a rayquaza charizard in the background
Lol
The maxmoefoe clone we needed
Fr max is so annoying but reviews interesting things lol
Definitely want more!!! That Nidoking 😂😂😂
that ray-zard is sick
wow you are super underrated, you’re just as funny as the eyebrow raise blastoise that watched me the entire video
This needs more views 😭 love the video bro give me a part two
The Caterpie Butterfree and Weedle where official sitting cuties the tags are the Japan versions of the sitting cutie tags
THEY LITERALLY CAME FROM AILIEXPRESS HOW-
The Japanese on the tags on Caterpie and Butterfree (and possibly Weedle, its tag isn't shown that clearly in the video) reads "Elf Center Fit: Green Caterpillar". I _seriously_ doubt they're legit, especially seeing how the official Japanese plushies have the Pokemon Fit logo in English on the tags.
I would LOVE to see more of these videos.
I think the caterpie, butterfree, and weedle were legit, they all had the japanese sitting cuties tag on em
Edit: nevermind they are bootlegged, the official have a similar tag but with "pokemon fit" written in english, no tags are fully japanese for pokemon tags.
I feel like they were still bootlegs just disguised as official plushies - bc the quality looks alot worse compared to the actual products :c
@@Didiblesno they were official
@@bulbabrayplays Nope, these tags do not match the Japanese Pokemon Fit tags. They are bootlegs that copied them
@@Kirjava444 oh actually wait yall are right, I didnt notice the fake tags were fully in japanese, forgot that the official ones have "pokemon fit" written in english
if only wurmple were a kanto mon..
13:48 The nidoking just looks nervous, scared or shy with his ears down
I love your animal and plant references throughout the video!! 😂
i tought this video has like 8.4K view but seeing it has 506 view please make more bootleg pokemon it was epic am subcribe btw
you play brawlstar?
Thank you gamer, yes I love brawl stars
@@-Torc- keep doing videos pls ❤️🦆
12:17 I hate to admit but thats the cutest less stuffed and kinda clean one lol T-T But doesn't look like raichu
Proportions. The word you want is proportions. (Great video!)
Would love to see more! This video was gas!!! Anyone else notice all the start family mid stages had strings but none of their prevo’s or evo’s did?
Nice video! I'd love to see a part two. I have that Raichu actually, always thought it was official
Loved this video! Hope you can continue with this serie
That blastoise got me cracking up 🤣🤣
I skipped to midway of the video don’t ask me why but as soon as I heard you say “rayquaza-chard” and I actually saw it looks exactly like how you described it I fuckn lost it 😂😂
In my head canon, there actually were Metapod and/or Kakuna plushes, they just got eaten by the Arbok :D
Pokemon bootleg plushies are one of my favorite things! I got the rayquaza charizard, and I also got a sunflower bulbasaur from the same seller. Also at some point at a fair I decided to gnab and overpriced black pikachu.
Was hoping he was gonna acquire the Water Type Arcanine lmao
That Squirtle is hung like like a mudbray
W pfp
Lore accurate turtle
Why is this the comment I read before watching the video
W pfp indeed
What in the ragebait is that yt profile
That was fun to watch. Thanks :) very funny

Sadly I think it’s a bootleg, as the inside of the tag is a common tag on boots and isn’t correct. but I have one and they are super nice quality considering ! Canvas is a really pretty line of plush too.
@@apocopusI didn’t even consider the inside of the tag! That’s sneaky!
I'll be honest, I think I would like bootleg plushie raichu more than actual raichu 😭 but I would love to see you do more bootleg pokemons!
Charquaza
Raichu so cute 🥺
a lot of these are soo freaking cute!! 😭
Great vid, I hope you get to porygon :)
Request: Buying a Bootleg Plush for Every Johto Pokémon
Very much this!!!
this is a certified bootleg reviewing bootlegs moment!
Poetic 😹
@-Torc- no joke I'm glad I found you gang, keep up the good Kush
how does this video only have 335 views? but great video man you seem like a goofy guy
the fact i also saw the rock face on blastoise before you said it ☠
For keeping Nidoking’s ears, you could try rubberbanding them together in an upright position
People like hanging them in their car windows with the suction cups
(I also hang some off of my plush toy hammock since they don't all fit inside)
Some reason I really want this to every generation
If you do a “shiny” pokemon plush episode, you definitely need to look out for a pink Butterfree plush! I found one at a local shop and even though it’s not the official shiny it definitely gave nostalgia from the anime :) it’s very cute.
Charquaza is cursed
Easy sub, I alr know imma love this vid❤🎉
It's raquazard! 4:30
Some bootlegs have real tags but like fake product. It's a lot easier to get away with doing that then "relocating" official merch.
You should do more of these also i have that raichu plush, mine looks a bit better then that one
Also I would check Etsy as well for more plushes
Bootleg nidorino exists! I have one and i love him. Got it before the sitting cuties came out
That was alolan raichu
Raichu does not look so bad actually because it is Alolan Raichu, a regional form from a later gen ds game.
weedle got the olimar nose from pikmin lol
😂😂😂
Arbok is definitely the worse like wtf did they do to him
i need that blastoise just for the face hahahah
I'm pretty sure the Bulbasaur plush is an official one
I have the exact same and did some research about him out of boredom turns out he's official and from the late 2000s
I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH 🗿
This was so funny dude
Why am I just now finding this and why did I think the thumbnail was Max?
Edit: Ok, so apparently a lot of others thought so too.
Even though that Raichu's a booty, it's from the canvas collection.
Rayquazard is the coolest thing ever, minus the real Rayquaza.
3:11 I literally have that exact plush. My mom got it for me and it is officially if I remember correctly.
Can’t wait for Doduo!
Bro for a sec I thought Maxmoefoe posted
Rayquaza and CHARIZARD
The Charquaza is kinda cool
I have a knock off espeon plush and it looks like he was stung by wasp it's face.
I actually have an OlyFactory plush of both Nidorino and Nidoqueen
You got an iron? You could try -- wait a minute. These are probably polyester (or stuffed with polyester) -- do not iron them, they will melt.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 okay do there mostly okay I actually love rayzard because it look like it could be a cool fusion untended or not who knows
ngl i love this
Maxmoefoepokemon who?
My mom got me a "super rare" Pikachu plushie at a flea market that was blue and I didn't have the heart to tell her it was a boot 😅 thankfully she haggled the dude and only spent 15 bucks for it
How did they mess up Arbok that bad 😭😭
Second episode will be peak. I'll stick around for Mew. (Thats a pun.)
12:32 If you can speak Japanese like me, you can tell it's a fake because it doesn't say "Raichu", it says "Reikiu". Considering this was likely bought from a Chinese site, it may be a 1-to-1 transcription of its Mandarin name, "Leiqiu".
The squirtle reminds me of a gliscor (not a good sign)
keep em coming
I feel bad for your wallet
5:32 send me location
Some of them looks ok and has personality like that rock blacktoise.
I didn't fully get it,did u say u purposely buy the worst?
Why not get the best bootleg?
You *could* do a vid only on Charizard plushies
I'd freaking LOVE that 🥹
"Kon-toe"
I have a charmander plush my friend got me from a claw machine that looks wayyyy worse than your one and i love him
I have the same Blastoise Plush but mine's not deformed and looks normal
I NEED that blastoise oh my god
i think he has togemon in the background
Pretty sure you were looking for the word “scale”
Bootleg maxmoefoe
U should call it your pokeman collection
do the rest!!!!!
Stab the Sandshrew
Dude i collect bootleg bcs they look cutely stupid and I really need that Venusar and Blastoise those r so cute 😭
I love Rayquarizard
cant wait to see the continuation! they look so stupid
