What in the world is going on? Spike Plush!?

[ScarletSeraph]

Spike what are you even DOING

He's aware of his own existance, and is appropriately horrified.

(Actually, he's really cute in that super-:muffin: Pony sort of way. I'd totally cuddle him!)

[BrightSide]

It looks like Spike got a bone jammed through his head...

My thoughts exactly. Ouch.

It could also be a case of stolen photos.
I'm pretty active in the cosplay community, and there are always reports of Chinese sellers using a photo that isn't their own to sell things - sometimes from another shop, occasionally from a cosplayer.  Sometimes they make something that's pretty close, and other times they're way off base.

My opinion is that these sellers stole a photo of someone's custom plush, and they're listing it up as "we can make something similar to this".

I was wondering if that might be the case!! Interesting to know there's a presidence and it's happened before...

ROFL! That's made my day

There's a pretty infamous case of this sort of "bait & switch* in the lolita fashion community.
The shop showed this and the buyer received this instead.
 
The Spike plush in the pictures looks fan-made.  I'm guessing whoever owns the Ebay shops wants to cash in on the pony craze...

He's kind of cute, I guess. If it's really an official Hasbro plushie and he's not too big (how big is he anyway?) I'd probably buy one if I saw it in the store. Though I'd have to do something about those fins on the side of his face. They look too much like a bone and are huge. I'd probably cut them smaller and re-sew them so they look less like bones.

Tha... That Lolita-Dress!!! OMG I would have been so angry at them. o_o (also: this is why I won't buy from China...)

Oh my gosh - I'm laughing but if at had happened to me I'd have been furious!!

I didn't think of that but there are a lot of eBay sellers who use photos from deviantart plushie artists. I feel sorry for the artist with everyone making fun of him if it is the case though - he's not that bad! Better than anything I could ever make!

So I herd you liek Mudkips?

probably from when he's wearing an apron in the show

Ah yes, must be from after some other fandom made me stop watching the show.


The apron fits him surprisingly well though.

omg that's hilarious

[sweetstuff]

It's so...so.... hmmm - I'm at a loss for words.

It almost looks like a UFO/Crane type plush. Maybe Spike mated with a Pokemon and this is their daughter (?)

[ashes]

Although I do like his apron.  That's pretty cute! 

[HavACrumpet452]

I want....to throw a pokeball at it.

Cute but so random...I think I like it even more because it reminds be of G1 baby bibs!
