I can't really tell if this is a bootleg or an art thing. This seems like some sort of He-Man and Mario crossover that's meant for collectors and not for kids, but even then, this thing looks so strange. Mario is unnecessarily jacked here, and why does he have a sword?
A Mario, or, excuse me, Super Mary, balloon with an...unfortunate string tie placement. If you're going to have a character balloon, at least keep their legs closed so the place where you inflate or tie the string doesn't look like their dick.
I think these might actually be official merch but I'm not entirely sure. Wario merch tends to look very ugly on purpose so there is a chance it could be legit. But imagine seeing these on your roommate's or sibling's or dad's feet barely illumatated in the dark, though. Nightmare fuel.
LUIGI, YOU GOT TERMINAL SEVEN. It's the big head and one off-placed eye that does it for me. Poor Luigi looks like he just can't anymore.
I am...unsure what the hell this is, to be honest. It looks like they just slapped a mario head on a different toy and called it a day.
This...dog Mario...Dogio...tissue holder has aboslutely seen some shit. Also, why are his overalls backwards?
Remember Lashawna Ball? This feels like that same concept, except that maybe the people who made these plushies were looking at some not quite safe for work art when they were getting references.
Especially here, with Daisy and Peach below.
Yeah, this has to be someone's inflation kink art that got stolen and turned into bootleg dolls. Or maybe this is just what pops into our heads due to the nature of the internet.
Some sort of Mario Pillow Pet, so this is two bootlegs in one. That velcro strap looks like it's about to rip at any moment, it can't be very good quality.
I want to know who came up with this and why. Are these the failed Mario clones that are sealed away for our safety? Are you meant to remove them from the gel, which, by the way, looks highly carcninogenic. Then again, all slime looks carcninogenic to me.
High key, this Mario is slaying here with that eyeliner and eyeshadow. Despite his bootleg status, he looks like a friend.
These are highly cursed. I doubt ay child would want a Mario with an extending neck that turns into a lamp. But what do I know.
Another one that I think might be legit but it looks so ugly I have to put it here. This is actually a toy figure that you hide in a cake, and whichever child gets it in their piece of cake gets to keep it.
This one is a classic bootleg. Bump & Go Funny Dino & Martin. I hate the red glowing eyes on Yoshi, who thought that was a good idea?
Little Gay Ass Mario. A diva.
Last but not least, these Green Mario blow up things to advertise a carwash. Or is his name Boro? The hands here really make it, one giant yellow one and one tiny black one. I wonder it it's supposed to spray water? Probably not, but that's what it looks like.
