Considering this topic has been revived from the dead, I've decided to add a few more to the list that I've come across.

What's so weird is how eerily legit this looks. Minus Mina in a Sailor Moon outfit on that eraser.

IDK man Mamoru's eyes look kinda soulless.

can this just be the creepy bootleg thread

I think Bootleg!Mamoru is the real winner of the Rose Bowl. Everyone else can go home.

to answer your question, hikari, I am changing this to the creepy bootleg thread after I post more bootleg images that I've found because hey, why not?




Is it just me, or does it say something like sailor mercury at the bottom of the figure stand? Also I don't particularly mind this one, though it's a bit eerie to see chibi moons wand looking like it got the jewel half smacked off. (Might be a good representation of her wand in some post apocalyptic/power contamination RP or fanfiction though.)


Also apparently this is the full set of masks like the one I posted earlier. Now these are scary.


So yeah, small bump since this is now the creepy bootleg thread!

yess. all the creepy bootleg.
sadly, i think I owned this at one point


actually i am quite certain i owned this...

I don't think that's bootleg though, it's just really really poorly made NA merch. Really, really poorly made like wow it may as well be bootleg

Yea I think you're right. Still creepy though.

This is most certainly a banana. Sailor Banana.
North America had the funniest merch it's like they didn't even try ^_^  Even a lot of bootlegs do a better job.

Can we talk about how it says "Real Doll Hair"? 

I'm so done with you, maybe-bootleg Sailor Banana.

Edit: GUYS. THERE IS AN ENTIRE TUMBLR DEVOTED TO BOOTLEGGED SAILOR MOON MERCH. I'm having trouble linking to it, but just look up "Sailor Moon Bootlegs" and you should see it.

More bootlegs!

I think I have that pencil case somewhere. I gotta find it

Okay, these things though. 

OMG. I think I saw those on Amazon just the other night. xD

umm.....

While browsing for a good picture for the featured thread announcement for this thread, I came across this gem: the SAILOR MOON and Friends Birthday Party Cupcake Topper Set. I can't even with Jupiter's face in this one XD More pictures are on the Amazon listing, but here are my two favorites:

Spoiler:

Those are actually kinda cute in a bootleg-y way XD

^It looks like chibiusa is the most decent one of the bunch.

Also, here are more bootlegs!

plastic dolls:

I feel as though these two plastic toys should have a PG-13 warning:

actual dolls that somehow don't look that bad:

Wand bootlegs that look like super-neat alternate versions; I actually like these quite a bit:

and last but not least

Oh, Shelly! Nymph of the moon, Show thy smile.:

OH Shelly!!  It so funny! I can't even......................hahahaha............... it's just so wrong. 

Let me share with you, my own personal collection. The bootlegs are the wand, it came with a senor opened jewelry box type thing, the figure clock, the Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon figures. This is from like 2012, my collection is way bigger than this lol
I initially thought the classic alarm clock was a bootleg, then I realized it wasn't. XD

Spoiler:

Wait, the clock isn't a bootleg? It's actually designed like that? 

Guess the sailor moon bootleg clocks of the 90s had the right idea, jeez. When is poor usagi gonna get a proper clock?

No no that one is a bootleg. There's a second alarm clock that has bells on top next to it. That is the legit one.

Last bout of bootlegs for a while

Figures:

dolls:

wand:

stickers:

LMAO wow that wand is an abominable combo of some of Moon's magical items XD.

I love how those stickers are like a combo of manga and anime art. xD

I'm in the weird part of the internet. No way I'm gonna spend my hard-earned money on bootleg Sailor Moon merchandise crap. Bootleg items are stealing money from those with official licenses, which is a bad thing and I want to support the official SM merchandise by not purchases of bootleg items.

Bootlegs don't necessarily take money from official stuff.  Just kind of depends, I suppose.  I sometimes buy stuff that is obviously bootleg because I like things like that, but I also buy plenty of official merchandise when I'm able.

As for the Koala Moon from the first page, I've seen pictures of something like that, but if Koala Mario instead.  No idea where they're from, though.

@Cosmos-Hime: That bootleg study set is my photo!  I had to check my DA to be sure, but I took that photo. ^_^  I love stuff like that, though it's been a while since I've added any new bootleg stuff to my collection.  When I can spare money I want new official stuff instead.
