Pig Rabbit, You're Beautiful - Genuine Merch Advice

Well, if you get obsessed over Korean dramas like I do...

Where you suddenly desire to have everything in the drama.
My obsession with Pig Rabbits from the drama You're Beautiful has led to a remarkable collection, that I am not sure...if it's a good or a bad thing.

Meet my Pig Rabbit Family.

I've you've watched. You're Beautiful. 

And you CRAVE a Pig Rabbit.

If you love it. 

Secretly want one.....

REALLY REALLY BAD...

Buy the big one. 

I bought a bunch of little ones over a few years thinking they'd cut the bill. 

NO. 

THEY DON'T.

 BUY THE BIG ONE!!!

But don't buy just any big one.

The one on the left I bought off of amazon for about 10.00 and was very disappointed, at his non-genuine appearance and feel. Fluffy, soft, pig-nosed he was but, his cheeks didn't have that slight puff, his body and nose were just too big, and he wasn't the right sort of fuzzy.

Some markers of genuine Pig Rabbits are...

Removable bow tie

beautiful tag--see the cute pig rabbit???

genuine = smaller and brighter

fake = larger and more faded

VS.

Also, my large Pig Rabbit from China had this weird thing attached.

Like he was a carnival toy or something. 

Noooooot genuine. 

If you want a genuine Pig Rabbit, be willing to shop around and pay the big bucks.
I found mine on eBay through a seller based in Korea who had a list of things and photos to show exactly how it was the genuine merch, and not a sad, dinky, China rip off.

There are other stores online that sell great merchandise such as YesAsia.com
