[strawb3rrym1lkblog]

no idea how many people this will reach but if you see this and are interested i would love to see people make a return to the bugsnax wiki! we hit a real high point in 2023 but the amount of active users has dwindled over time, and i would really like for people to start editing and making new pages on there again! hoping to get back into it myself as well :3

Bootleggers are targeting seal interest groups, forums, and especially facebook pages!

(If you haven’t seen my first bootleg post here it is for more info) Here’s an update to the bootleg seal that’s trying to pass itself off as the more detailed and not demon-possessed Yuki plush at a (sometimes) lower price. The bootleggers aren’t just selling them on sites, waiting for people to happen to stumble upon them, they’re actively joining groups, pretending to be fellow seal fan/members, and planting store links in posts to trick people into buying them. This is despicable because it’s not only manipulating our fellow seal fans into buying sub-par plushies be pretending to be friends in a group, but it’s targeting people who likely don’t even know about the original site. They just see something cute posted by what they think is a fellow fan, trust it is legitimate and want one “too”, then are taken advantage of. Can you blame them? I wouldn’t have known if I weren’t in the seal Discord group, considering the legit plushes originated in Japan- your average person won’t know if they aren’t told

THESE POSTS ARE SCAMS! 

These are fake profiles generated to join groups and try to boost their sales. These are not friends sharing their purchases. Having seen the shares and reading the comments left on these posts, the people responding don’t realize that and talk to them like any other person. I might not have noticed myself, but the two posts weren’t far apart, direct to the same page, and the comment made by the poster isn’t that creative (one is LITERALLY part of the description from the product page). 

The video shows BOTH the actual Yuki toy and shots of the bootleg (usually the sites only show the Yuki then sends the bootleg instead), showing both is still misleading people as they’re showing a product you can’t actually buy and these bootlegs do not hold themselves to the same quality standard as the official product. The very top bootleg on this post looks like a FNAF jumpscare character for crying out loud! 

I know a lot of you are on other seal groups like Instagram and forums, so please spread the word before these scammers take advantage of more people just for liking seals and wanting a quality plush ESPECIALLY if you see them pulling this on other seal fan sites/forums! I don’t care if you credit any of my posts as long as the info is out there to warn people, because these guys probably have a lot more resources to advertise than I do to call them out.

Friendly reminder Felissimo is the only legitimate seller of the Yuki pillow. 

You can also order it through a service like WhiteRabbitExpress, a service that buys things from Japan and ships it to you if the seller does not offer it or offers shipping at ridiculously high prices. Any other seller will send you a bootleg, which may or may not look like angry bee-biter or soulless-eyed FNAF horror seal.

Beware Bootleg Yuki & Arale plush/pillows flooding the online market

A lot of us were excited when we saw Osaka aquarium made a pillow filled with memory foam resembling Yuki, the chubby orb of a seal. However, many seal fans are being sent bootleg versions of her. This is the official store to buy the plush at: https://www.felissimo.co.jp/youmore/gcd762792/

Felissimo is the ONLY official seller of this pillow. It costs ~$62 and their shipping is really high, which has had some buyers looking for cheaper versions on other sites. 

There’s a reason it’s cheaper on other sites guys, it’s a bootleg. Someone unrelated to the aquarium looked at the plush and then made their own version of it, it’s not official merch, and it looks different. HOWEVER when it is being sold they use photos of the original plush to trick people into thinking they are buying the original.

This is what the bootleg looks like 

The markings look different (much darker blacker sponge stamps, less detailed while the original resembles water color and has much more detail and variations of grey)

The nose is huge (the original takes up the top third of the seal’s head, this one takes up about half the face)

The proportions are wrong

It is an entirely different artist who made it; instead of making a pillow that looks like the seal they are trying to make a pillow that looks like a photo of another pillow and a lot of subtle details where the fabric should be tucked and folded to make her round, aren’t, making the pillow more flat.

It’s like when your mom said she got you the video game you really wanted and it was a tiger handheld version and you pretended you liked it

So how do you know before you buy if it’s a bootleg?

Are you buying it directly from Felissimo or a shipping service who will buy it directly from Felissimo? No? It’s a bootleg. Is the price surprisingly low? Yes? It’s a bootleg. Does it seem too good to be true? Yes, it’s a bootleg.  Are you buying it off Ikiha, Aliexpress, or Amazon? Yes, it’s a bootleg. But the picture looks official? It’s still a bootleg, they will not send you what is in the photo.

I’m not shaming people who bought the cheaper version knowing they weren’t getting the official version- I’m sending out an alert so people aren’t tricked into thinking they’re getting a deal and being disappointed when bee biter shows up in the mail.
