We've spotted something weird on Taobao today. Most of you might know the FrontWinner bootleg plushies that are available all over the internet, but the plushies we found seem to be a variation of the FrontWinner mane 6 plushies. All of them are fully or partly dressed. Rarity has her full Sgt. Rarity costume on, Rainbow Dash has socks, Applejack has socks, a scarf and her hat, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle are dressed in Winter Wrap Up clothes and Fluttershy is dressed as... Link with a parasprite?
Apart from the clothes the plushies don't seem to have changed that much apart from Rarity's tail. But I could be missing some spots. I don't know whether this is the work of FrontWinner or another party that decorated the plushies.
Anyway, enjoy some more detailed images below:

Unlicensed MLP plush producer FrontWinner, known from the show accurate bootleg plushies, has added new version of their Fluttershy and Derpy plushies. Fluttershy's mane has been updated to better represent the one in the show, and Derpy now has an open mouth. While browsing the FrontWinner website I also noticed that the Flutterbat and CMC plushies have been removed from the website, for an unknown reason. The other MLP plushies are still listed, so it's possible that they're just out of stock right now.
REMINDER: You DON'T support the show when you buy these. These plushies are unlicensed and fake. No profit will go to the show. You can read more about the origin of these plushies here.

You might remember the 'cutie mark' fake blind bags we posted on a few weeks ago, but now FrontWinner is actually selling these fake blind bags, and there are even more variations than before.
The blue and yellow blind bags are now also being sold as keychains, and new purple and white blind bags are also being produced. The quality still looks a bit bad, but luckily you can easily see that these are fake by their glossy plastic, badly painted hair and no body color variations among all the ponies. I'd gotta say that I had to laugh about the purple colt, it looks just like a male version of Twilight!

It's been a while since FrontWinner listed new plushies since there have been some seemingly copyright problems on their OnlyFactory project, but they've now listed the completed Flutterbat and CMC Plushies on their FrontWinner website. I'm looking forward to see more plushies of unique characters like Flutterbat that otherwise would never be produced in high quantity.

FrontWinner OnlyFactory has made 2 awesome new plushies again. This time we have the mighty Nightmare Moon and the wise Zecora. Remember that these are still fake! You can read about the origin here!
UPDATE: Source is OnlyFactory, not FrontWinner this time :) (Also added second image of Discord)

Below the cut we also have a prototype of an upcoming Discord plush!

Lyra Fake Frontwinner Plush

Frontwinner has just added a new Pony Plush to their website. And this time it's Lyra! She looks cute in my opinion and well made, even when these ones are fake. Expect her to be available on Taobao and Ebay soon!

It couldn't take long until we saw another plush on FrontWinner. Currently they release a new pony plush about each week. This time it's a somewhat less important character in the show, and I didn't expect her showing up. As usual these plushies will fidn their way to eBay, Taobao and Alibaba within a few days. Do keep in mind that these plushies are fake.

Thanks to nogames from the MLParena for the images!

After our in-depth article on FrontWinner mass-producing plushies, some artists took note of the practices and got into contact with FrontWinner about their copyright claims.

After the cut we've got the full story with replies from FrontWinner:

Queen Chrysalis Frontwinner plush

Frontwinner did it again. And this time they released one of my favourite characters. The mighty Queen Chrysalis. Keep an eye out on Ebay and Taobao, because she will appear over there sooner or later!

Thanks to nogames from the MLP Arena for the heads up!
