Why are Chinese bootleggers suddenly pumping out thousands of these King Koopa plushies, a toy based off the character from the 1980’s Mario Super Show which hasn’t received any merch before or appeared since?

>1980’s Mario Super Show which hasn’t received any merch before

Is.. Is it still bootleg if the series never received official merchandise? If there's nothing to 'bootleg', right?

It’s probably meant to be a stand in for Pepe
He’s booming over there right now as their resistance figure

Shit, I'd buy it. I loved that show as a kid.

I think it was a bad case of telephone
>Bowsette is popular
>Make Bowsette dolls
>Make Bowser dolls
>Make Koopa dolls
>Make King Koopa from the 1980s Mario show dolls

I can dig it.

*SHLURP SHLURP SHLURP*

I don't know, do you live in China? Because no one else gives a shit.

I think it would be considered bootleg if it wasn't officially made by Nintendo/DIC

Chinese internet users who hate their government are fun
I once asked my mother what did Grass Mud Horse mean and she started giggling and told me to repeat it
So I did and then she hit on the head for saying it in front of her

/thread

Got a link for it on Aliexpress or similar?

Honestly for a chinese bootleg it doesn't look too bad

nm, found one:

is that some new, bootleg Dry Bowser Jr. or am i nuts

Because the Juden plan to castrate western society is almost complete, they keeping men in an eternal childish state and making women mindless homonculi that hate sex by manipulating media, they just want a piece of all the "le epin nerd" consumerism while they watch us crash and burn

Just how much did they overmake these?

Admittedly, its a amazing looking plush.

I'd actually buy a plushie of King Wart from Mario Bros 2 if one was ever offered.

What makes you think this is a remarkable phenomenon? Genuinely curious

Sorry, we at the Nintendo Mushroom Kingdom Standardization Division have determined "Wart" to be problematic to the unified image of the Mario Franchise we will be using going forward.

Would 90s Queen Koopaette like Milli Vanilli or would her tastes be in another band?

Wu-Tang Clan

I want one.

Wart is one of my favorite forgotten Nintendo characters. It's a damn shame there's no merch of him.

He resembles King K. Rool who's relevant again, but want that Mario title, that's probably why.

epic

You can use Paypal for Aliexpress, right? Isn't immediately selectable.

>Wart is one of my favorite forgotten Nintendo characters.

Same.
I'm actually kind of excited for that Link's Awakening Remake because I'm curious to see what Wart's 'fully realized' model will look like in the game.

I like his design more than modern Bowser

I'm expecting them to replace Wart with a generic giant frog.

I've heard bizarre rumors that Nintendo doesn't own the rights to Doki Doki Panic anymore but that makes zero sense, they still use Bob-Ombs all the time

I am still looking for the Yujin K. Rool.

The rights probably only extend to the main characters. I wouldn’t doubt if everything from the game that didn’t originate from the anime or whatever belongs to Nintendo. Similar to Square and original Mario RPG chars

>I've heard bizarre rumors that Nintendo doesn't own the rights to Doki Doki Panic anymore but that makes zero sense, they still use Bob-Ombs all the time

I severely doubt that given that 2/3rds of the Mario Enemy roster were taken from the game.
Think about it: Shy Guys, Bob-Ombs, Snifit, Pokey, never mind Birdo. That game-swap is responcible for SO many Mario characters and enemies.

that's super interesting
do you actually think that's true or are you just shitposting

Probably some chinese intern googling "king koopa" and one of the results is a screenshot from the cartoon and they just went with it.

It's true.

I know, they lost all the rights to the songs for the show so the official versions are all this horrible house music but the restored versions are on YouTube and there was a lot of fucking licensed music in that show.

I say, those rice farmers can be quite a swell bunch at times.

>why are they writing some of the signs in english?

Yes.
The two official languages of Hong Kong are Cantonese Chinese and English. A little under half the population (like 47%?) of Hong Kong is fluent in English with around 2% speaking nothing but English.

In the Milli Vanilli episode, they pulled the songs immediately when the lip sync controversy broke. Which leads to the unintentional hilarity of Milli Vanilli attempting to perform their music but the audio won't let them.

Fuck off.

This might have something to do with it.

She's never seeing from that eye again. The shell destroyed it.

TIANANMEN SQUARE

Come for me, China

you might be able to hide it from your own people but you cannot hide it from the rest of the world

Oh right, thanks.

can you shut the fuck up? You're seriously about to be silenced by China

Fuck China and fuck you.

based and mompilled

Is wrong that I want one? I always loved King Koopa.

You mean like sexually?

Can you not? Human rights violations are not a joke. Stop trivializing Tiananmen Square. It isn't funny at all.

Those people are putting their lives on the line, resisting one of the greatest, most foul forces of darkness in the universe and you are treating it like a joke

I'm heavily considering buying one but a Chinese bootleg plush can't be worth it. I'm very skeptical it won't fall apart or something.

It's actually not too difficult to make plushies, especially one with such simple shapes.

Who's to say his crown won't come right off like the eyebrows on though?

Yes.

Someone was going to make some DIC-style plushies to bank off nostalgia, backed out, but China has the designs so they'll make them anyways.
Pepe's been around for years in China, but only in his melancholic form. He's known as "Sad Frog" there and is closer to our Wojak in character.

then fix it yourself, what scared of poking yourself with a needle or using a glue gun?

Yeah, yeah, alright, I'll give these lawless bear bile-chugging bastards a chance. It does look great, better than the official Bowser plush I've got.

And again, the option to make it yourself, totally still open, would take you like, one trip to the craft store, and maybe an hour

>maybe an hour
bitch shut up

I don't think I have the skills of a sweatshop slave. I do hope whoever makes these isn't, like, chained up and microchipped or anything.

fuck you gonna do mr level 1/1 Crafting

I'll have you know that my Crafting level is extremely motherfucking high. If I had studied medicine I'd be doing heart surgery faggot

Then make the plushy

>Is.. Is
this is so fucking gay

how can you unironically type like this and not feel like a huge faggot? what is wrong with you mentally?

british english to be exact.

Who owns the rights to this design, anyway? Nintendo and DIC, or just Nintendo? Maybe even just DIC? I have trouble picturing Nintendo bothering to acknowledge the 80's cartoons to sue over this.

Your day is coming, Jewish puppet.

Look at that smug little pussy, I wonder how pissed those WW1 vets were that they had to come home and shed more blood putting reds into the grave, fucking traitorous pieces of shit. It's been laughable watching western commies try and spin Hong Kong in their favor.

You now remember King Koopa's Kool Kartoons

Welp yeah thats Gonna be a yikers frontera me dawg

i'm kind of surprised how accurate it is. when i hear bootleg i usually think of a shitty recolor, but this looks exactly like him.

>Defending the CCP
>Trusting the CCP

>Janny deleted the post and possibly got this user banned for making it because he was a scrub who didn't realize it's completely on topic and canonical

He's already a shitty recolor so I guess they had their work cut out for them.

Whatever can be said about the west, Jews aside, the chicoms are ten thousand times worse. No one can deny the scale of murder communist regimes have engaged in, and continue to engage in. Your government would literally torture you to death and your friends and family would he sent to camps because you have a wrong opinion, that is your China, chang.

Pretty big deal considering retards were just calling it a nazi symbol a year ago. What a turn-around.

Awful taste.

These people are opposing communist China, western leftists would still call them nazis, even more so now that they use pepe.

I had a Bowser plushie exactly like this years ago and his eyebrows fell off too. Talking like late 90's here.

Wart, big Mouser, and Triclyde needed to be permanent characters or at least guests in spin-offs. How did Birdo and the Bob-ombs luck out?

Where did you get it from? It might just be some sort of dreadful design flaw that wasn't restricted to bootleg dolls.

bowsette

>hair
>mammalian muzzle
See me after class, tastelet.

Bowsette was a year ago, although I really like the idea of "Bowsette" somehow being turned into "American cartoon Bowser" through telephone at China's bootleg plush headquarters.

They're been making shit like Dark Bowser and Dark Bowser Jr. for years already, nothing weird going on here.

The cartoon was actually dubbed into Mandarin aired over there. It probably appeals to them as much as us, maybe more so.

Probably Wal-mart. It was an official doll as far as I remember.

Yeah, I'm thinking Hong Kong is, dare I say, based and redpilled.

a recolor of what? bowser? not really, he's a shitty cartoonified version of bowser, he doesn't really look like him that much

>Disease where your body would literally rather you be blind than asymmetric and able to see with one eye.

That's hilarious.

>Sympathetic ophthalmia is rare, affecting 0.2% to 0.5% of non-surgical eye wounds, and less than 0.01% of surgical penetrating eye wounds. There are no gender or racial differences in incidence of SO.

She's gotta be fine.
"Shitty" isn't really fair, he looks fine. Remember, they only had his 8-bit sprite to go on, and he looks better than it does. You want shitty, look at DIC's Mother Brain. They actually had someone's kid come in and beat Metroid for them so they could get a look at Mother Brain for reference, and yet they made something that doesn't even remotely resemble the sprite anyway.

Ew.
"Toe-mot-toe"

bowser had official concept art before this show came out. he also had his modern design for mario bros 3, which came out before this

And Nintendo didn't give any of this to anyone working on the show.

Worked out as a good counterpart/partner to Yoshi (makes eggs, had gender confusion)

Walking bombs seemed to fit for the Mario games.

Mouser is pretty cool.

Yeah, DiC had zero references besides manuals and the games themselves and there's quite a lot of evidence they didn't even play the games in the first place. Especially Castlevania and Metroid.

I would love a mario game based off the mario movie.

A Dinohattan-style city as the successor to New Donk is my dream Odyssey sequel kingdom.

sorry user but I agree, king koopa has a more consistent design and doesn't look like a weird chimera, this wouldn't have been much of an issue if Bowser hadn't become goofier over time

What's the deal with the mechanical Bowser in that image? I can recognize most of them in the image save for that one and possibly yellow arms being a drawn image of the sprite from SMB1.

That's the Mecha Bowser from Sunshine. The image is concept is a novel take on the 7 false Bowsers from SMB.

I don't normally collect cel art, but hot damn would I love to have at least one from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I would probably try to get one of Indiana Joe soley because of the fact that he has no face.

I genuinely loved the Super Mario Brothers Super Show as a kid + Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 so it's kind of cool that it's getting some love, even if its from chinks
I honestly might buy a plush assuming the quality isn't absolute piss poor you expect from bootlegs

The second show was called The Adventures of Super Mario 3 bros.
