Is my Pichu Plush Real or Fake?
Hi everyone,
I was cleaning out my room, and found my old Tomy 1/1 Scale Pichu plush. But I'm not sure whether it 's authentic. I bought it back in August 2000, from a kiosk in West Edmonton Mall. However, I do remember that there was some pretty sketchy merchandise at the booth as well.
When I first got it, the hang tag, was hanging around Pichu's neck with an elastic string. I've done a bit of research myself to find out what the legitimate hang tag looks like, but all I could find was an Ebay auction:

Of course, because the seller is located in China, I doubt the legitimacy of the plush. I've also discovered that this plush is designed after one of the Pichu Brothers from the Pikachu & Pichu short. There's apparently another plush in this set that looks like the other Pichu brother (the one with the tufts of hair on it's head).
I've attached some photos of my plush. Due to attachment limit, I wasn't able to include the photo of the other side of the tush tag. It reads "TOMY" and underneath "MADE IN CHINA".
Anyway, if anyone could give some insight into this matter, I would be most grateful.
