Those two little ones are bootlegs. (Though cute anyway!) You can tell by the bear tag, and the chinese on the tag.
Real ones will say Arkapasso/Alkapasso on the tag, the company is Amuse, and the tag would have Japanese on it, instead of Chinese. I guess that would be a starter. Cons seem to have lots of bootleg stuff... again... (I feel like it was weeded out for awhile). The fakie I have has the bear on the tag, the company is Kin Hsing, and the tag is all in Chinese...

Looks like the next time I go to a con, I'll have to check the tags more carefully. The Kin Hsing ones are pretty well made though, and for the price... I may get more the next time I go. I wonder if there are other ways to tell though, based on the look of them rather than just the tag? I mean, I've seen some badly done fakes where it's easy to tell, but some look a lot like the real thing. I'm not sure that online sellers always post pictures of the tags, so I'd be worried about someone paying a lot for a fake that they think is the real deal...
