.::How to spot a Bootleg/Fake Eevee/lutions Pokedoll::.
Eeveelution bootleg guide!
Well, as I saw nickle4apickle's bootleg/factory reject Leafeon post today I thought I'd help out a bit by making a little guide to the evils of Hong Kong eBay sellers ^^
I know a bootleg guide has been done before, but this one is specific to the Eeveelution Pokedolls. I just hope it'll make people pause before they jump on an Espeon for $5!
All the bootlegs are on the right, though I would be worried if you didn't notice when they're right next to a legit one :3
Here's a group picture!
PURE EVIL, THE LOT OF THEM. (notice the lack of Vaporeon)
Eevee!
Firstly, notice the tag. For some reason, bootleg sellers (at the moment, anyway) don't have the new, pokedoll art tag. But don't be fooled, we can pretty much guarantee they'll catch on soon >.>
Secondly, the material! Boot!vee is a different colour, and doesn't really look as soft (granted, the new style legit plush have the minky fabric, but the bootleg one still looks kinda odd...
The other obvious things are the bits in the red circles.
Demented eye.
Different-looking ears.
Funny nose (I didn't notice when I was in Paint)
The UFO catcher string - for some reason this is only on the Eevee bootleg, but if you see this you can be sure it's fake. Pokedolls do not have these strings! :3
Vaporeon!
Uh, basically, I have NEVER seen a Vappy bootleg. I guess this is a good thing, right?
LV's edit: I've seen Custom Shiny Vaps....
...?
Jolteon!
What a cutie :3
Tag, material, etc.
Silly nose.
Gap between legs.
Gap where the middle of the ear should be.
Dodgy stitching.
Dodgy white dot on eye (this isn't very noticeable, but it was REALLY niggling me >.>
General shape of it's face!
Flareon!
NOT (LV's) my first Pokedoll <3
On this one, the material actually looks quite soft. What gives it away is the shape of the poor thing's face :'(
Nose, tag, shape of eye, position of tuft :3
Espeon!
-shudder-
Gap between legs.
Colour of inside ear.
Nose.
Position of red gem on forehead >.>
Position of secondary 'ear' things 8D
The eyes look weird.
Umbreon!
OH MY ARCEUS D8
Gap between legs.
Wonkiness of it's forehead circle (...oh dear oh dear...)
Biiiig space between ears
Shape of eyes!
Leafeon!
LV: This & Glacia we're my 2nd & 3rd Pokedolls (My 1st was Lucario)
This is nickle4apickle's picture of her Leafeon :3
If you don't want this up, just say and I'll have it down in a flash!
Otherwise, the green colour (though this may be the lighting :S)
The leaf doesn't look curly enough ^^
Absence of green thingies by the thighs
Nose, lol.
Shaping of inner ear
US Pokedoll TAGS-It should only be a JAPANESE POEDOLL TAG
Glaceon!
Finally, the last one 8D
Well, they look different but I couldn't really pick out the things that make it obvious, aside from it's hair(?) shape and nose. And the shape of it's face.
The secondary 'ear' things also look like a different length but that could just be the angle ^^

Phew, I finished!
As always, if I've left anything out feel free to correct me
