Bootleg King, Bootleg King

Welcome to the shit show A collectionof bootlegs and an archive of their existence before they fade away into obscurity

[bootleg-bill]

Some Sonic bootlegs. Some of them look a bit off but maybe passable like the Cream one. Then there’s Knuckles.

That’s not the only thing of note in this set though...

Several variations of Sonic.exe. Including this one with an x on its chest and weird eyes and mouth. For some reason the manufacturers opted to not give this one sharp teeth like the rest of the SPOOKY ones.

There is also an edgy tails(?). He has been desaturated, please give him your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. 

And last but not least, another Sonic.exe plush but the blood on his gloves look almost airbrushed on instead of stitched on like the blood under his eyes.

A very INTERESTING instance of censorship again involving Pokemon bootlegs on Alibaba. What is curious about this image is that some of the pixelated images are only PARTIALLY obscured (the Maril plush is not fully covered up). Why certain listings have been edited to fully or partially cover up Pokemon related products while others have not is is unclear.

Really strange Ben 10 bootlegs

[bootleg-bill]

More bizarre censor bars on just Pikachu’s face. The seller does not even try to hide Pikachu’s face in the other images on the page, which is very strange (see image below for an example).

If this is an attempt to bypass an algorithm, the presence of the bars on only the thumbnail image could point to it possibly only scanning the first image in a set. That is, if there is an algorithm. I’ve seen plenty of other listings showing Pikachu’s face in full, so what is going on here?

This listing for “ 324pcs 36 packs Pokemon Trading Card Game sword shield Vivid Voltage Booster Box Collectible kids toy” has some very strange censorship going on in just the picture of the box. None of the other images in the set have any attempts to block out parts of the packaging’s art. Maybe this was an attempt to scoot by under the radar of a copyright protection algorithm? I can’t imagine this tactic would be successful at fooling an actual person.

These interesting pieces have been given the name: “ Whale natural crystal crafts crystal gem animal carving crystal Pokemon obsidian Pikachu decoration”

This is the first time I have seen anything Pokemon related carved out of obsidian, which is pretty cool. As cool as the concept is, they do look a little creepy, especially the Pikachu.

This magnificent piece of art is called “ Iced out design Gengar Cartoon Pokemon 100% CZ filled pendant necklace hip hop jewelry” and is made out of brass and zircon according to the product description. The seller really really really wants to let you know about the metal plating, as they have included this text in the detailed image section:

I can neither confirm nor deny this claim. In the our company section of the page, their mini biography mentions that they’ve worked with some well known companies in the past like Target and Kohls. What do you all think about iced out gengar?
