l.Do Your Researc
First, if you're new to the scene, get acclimated
to what genuine Rilakkuma plushies look like by
browsing through the San-X or Jellybeet
website. Once you have a specific plushie in
mind, save the official image for the product so
you can compare Iistings to it.

2.Searc
Searching for your plushie means you might have
to scour different avenues of the web before you
find listings for it, depending on its
rarity. Ideally, you will want to find a handful
of listings to compare quality later on.

Ua it
Before getting into the specifics of genuine
versus fake Rilakkuma plushies, just use your
first impression and your gut instincts - you
can easily weed out many fakes based on overall
quality alone.

4. Nose Snout
For some reason, counterfeiters consistently mess
the nose/ snout area up, making it too large,
too small, or simply the incorrect shape. The
snout should be a very smooth, fuzzy,
and centered oval. Many counterfeiters get sloppy
sewing the snout on, resulting in a lumpy
amorphous shape.

5. Face
If the target Rilakkuma has a standard face, his
eyes should be perfect circles the same black
embroidery as the nose/ mouth. The middle of the
eyes (transversally) should be near level to the
round top part of his black nose, with about a
third to an eighth of the top above the white
snout.

The zipper should start at the base of the head
seam down to just above the tail. It should unzip
to reveal a white/baby blue polka dot pocket.

• Korilakkuma should not have a zipper she should
  have a red button in front instead.

7. Ears
Rilakkuma's ears should be round, full,
spherical, and in plane with the rest of his
face (along the coronal plane) .The yellow part
of his ears, since it is only a front section,
will tilt toward the face, but not laterally.

8. Direct Comare

• The most important part! This is more up to your
  judgment - compare the listing to the official
  photo to make sure major and minor details are
  all accounted for costume, props, bows, lining,
  fabric tags, etc. Don't forget to check the back!

Keep in mind that these are only guidelines, not
rules even genuine plushies may not look
EXACTLY like the catalogue photos, but they
should be pretty close!
