South Korean authorities recently discovered a large stockpile of bootleg Pokémon plush toys!
In South Korea, authorities have seized a massive haul of fake plush toys. Reports put the total at somewhere around 530,000 phony plushies were found in total. It is speculated that the unofficial plushies were smuggled into South Korea between April 25 and June 2. They were then illegally circulated in arcades as crane game prizes. Once authorities caught on that unlicensed Chinese-made plush toys of Pokémon and other characters like Totoro were circulating in South Korea, they also removed the fake ones from arcades as seen in a KBS TV broadcast that you can see here. This particular stockpile largely contains Pokémon plushies including characters like Alolan Vulpix, Wartortle, Pikachu, and more. The total stockpile is reportedly worth over six million dollars.
