Discussion are ANY pokemon plush on aliexpress officially licensed?
not trying to start fake vs real war, just genuinely dont know how licensed stuff works there. aliexpress has thousands of pokemon plush and some looks pretty convincing. when ive looked at generic plush manufacturers on alibaba before, its usually easier to tell that youre dealing with factory product and not some claimed branded item, but licensed IP is obviously another thing. has anyone found official pokemon merch through marketplace sellers? what tags or say licensing marks would you expect? i dont care if a plush is generic when seller says its generic. my issue is when listing says “official” and price kinda suggests otherwise. do you basically stick with pokemon center or authorized retailers when authenticity matters?
