The Legend of The Jamaican Pikachu Plush - Bootleg Pokémon Toys

Bootleg Pokémon toys & merchandise have existed for as long as the series itself. Pokémon is one of the most successful franchises of all time, so it makes sense that so much has been made for it throughout the years. There have been bootlegs of pretty much anything Pokémon you can imagine - figures, plush, clothing, and even games. In this video, I go over one of the best bootleg pieces of Pokémon merchandise out there, a novelty Pikachu plush sold in Jamaica at gift shops and other stores like it.
The plush is based off of Pikachu, depicting him in Jamaican gear, complete with a Rasta hat and dreadlocks. Obviously not an official item, but he sure is funny!
