Plushie Linkys
Links
PLUSHIE & CHIBI LINKS 4laugh exclaim
Here are some AWESOME Plushie site links 4laugh 3nodding exclaim These are authentic Japanese plushie store sites mrgreen ! (with some GE. Plushies produced by Great Eastern are authentic, but not Japanese. Some people say GE is a bad company, but it's up to you to decide if you want GEs in your collection. Personally, I don't have a big problem with them, but I just plan on buying imported Japanese plushies from now on.) The only site I've ordered from so far from these is UFOCatcher so please provide feedback on these shops ^_^! Also report any suspicions of counterfeits on these sites and I'll investigate to see if the site should be removed from this list...

NOTE: I am only sure about the authenticity of plushies on these sites... I can't guarantee that everything on these sites aren't bootlegs but I do think it's unlikely for these sites to have any bootlegs xp ...
Here are some custom plushie links whee exclaim These sites feature one-of-a-kind handmade anime plushies made by very talented artists 3nodding exclaim

Counterfeit Info.
wahmbulance HONG KONG COUNTERFEITS wahmbulance exclaim
Some of my plushies are actually counterfeits crying exclaim My Ichigo and my Weapon Series Naruto are definitely counterfeits, and my Ed pillow may be counterfeit. I still love them though, but now I believe I will be buying from reliable plushie store sites mostly so I will be sure to get AUTHENTIC anime merchandise from Japan xp .

DO NOT ORDER PLUSHIES FROM EBAY UNLESS YOU'RE POSITIVE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING ISN'T COUNTERFEIT exclaim I should've never ordered from there myself, because I've seen a shocking amount of bootlegged plushies on there, along with other counterfeit anime merchandise and DVDs.

I have learned another shocking fact about counterfeit plushies! Some of them are made out of materials that can be harmful to health! Here is the link to an article about counterfeits: COUNTERFEIT TOYS! Luckily, I don't think my Naruto or Ichigo is made from dangerous material. Here's a the link to an article released around Christmas of 2006 on counterfeit toys arrow http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_5892.aspx .

Here is the link to a very helpful thread in the UFOCatcher BBS: Bootleg Plush Toy Gallery 3nodding exclaim In the thread are pictures of many authentic plushies compared with pictures of the bootleg versions. Also, in the thread are links to more articles about counterfeits.

For more helpful info. on counterfeit anime merchandise visit my good friend Cujo-chan's thread, Bootleg and Counterfeit Merchandise 3nodding .

I'm not really a big fan of Great Eastern (A domestic company that makes anime merchandise) for certain reasons but this plushie is one my friend has and she's SOOOOO KAWAII 4laugh heart exclaim Serial Experiments Lain is one of my favorite animes and this is the only 'official' Lain plushie that exists so I just had to make her into a banner for this thread whee exclaim Don't expect to see any other pictures of GE plushies as banners.

3.)Banpresto School Time Ichigo
4.)Banpresto Movie Edward Elric

Now that I have a job at Burger King, I'm hoping to get all of these plushies starting with the first one on my list mrgreen !! Since I have to save a lot of money for college it'll probably be awhile, but my objective is to have all of these and maybe more before the end of the end of next year 3nodding !!

I probably won't get them in that order though... And my newest plushie isn't even a plushie from my wishlist xd !!

First plushie I'll be aiming to get:
