So the first Chrysalis on ebay sold for $102.50... I can't believe someone was willing to pay that much for a bootleg plush.
I have alerts for when more get listed, so I'm just going to wait until I can grab her at the BIN price.
Yeah, it completely defeats the purpose of having a cheap, mass produced show accurate plush that's available to the public. I'm willing to bet that the seller has plenty Chrysalis plushes in stock and just put the one on ebay to make it seem limited.

I think these would be called knockoffs, I doubt they are true copies where you buy the original and take a rub off of the original pattern. Those DA artists making plushies are also making fake plushes that are unlicensed. Both could be considered morally wrong and depending on different laws in each country could also be illegal.
That being said I own a Daring Do and wouldn't give her up for the world. Hey I make custom my little ponies and that too is a gray area.
True, but I think it's worth noting that dA artists make a few plushes per year while the bootleg factories are mass producing plush in large quantities.

Added Multi-Pulti section!
Thank you all for your feedback! Once I'm finished with the mini reviews I'll be working on a section that includes all plushes available in the line.

So are they basicly stolen from custom plushie makers?
Unfortunately, yes. I've seen a few designs that were completely stolen from the original artist. I've even had the 'pleasure' of them ripping off one of my plush designs. Post Merge: May 15, 2014, 09:00:33 PMThe patterns are copied from pictures of designs which are submitted to them or that they find online - plushies created by artists. They may not have broken down the plush seam by seam but the factories are recreating the design. Its a grey area because of course, no doubt the plush they are copying are also unlicensed.
The 4DE plushies look this way too, like they've copied valleyviolet's famous pattern. The fact that the plush is in 2 pieces joined together at the back legs is a trait only her pattern (that I have seen so far) uses.
No worries about the pattern being stolen. In fact, ValleyViolet's pattern was inspired by a fan artist. She briefly talked about it in an old dA journal entry, and even mentioned that 4DE had not stolen her pattern when a few people were worried.

That's a good idea! I'll definitely add a little index of all available characters once I have everything written and formatted.

Hi guys! I've been working on a simple guide to buying official plushies! I've included some notes and observations. I mainly collect Applejack so the guide will be based around her. If necessary, I'll include other characters though I don't have many. If I collected every character I'd be broke!  Anyway, I hope this might be useful to someone! If you click the image thumbnails you can zoom in for more detail. Right now, I only have the Funrise section completed. I'm slowly working on the other brands so just bear with me. I'm open to suggestions and picture requests! The link leads to my public Livejournal entry. I find it easier to format and edit there so hopefully that won't be an inconvenience. I'll update with new sections once they're complete. Plush Guide! http://derpcepticon.livejournal.com/92726.html

I actually have a ton of AJ merch! I'm in the process of making a plush review guide. It will be a while before it's done but I'll post it when it is. I can also take some in hand pics of some of the merch if you're interested!

Pony, if she gets enough plush at any point, you know who to turn to.
