Wario

The bootleg Kellytoy Wario is a very odd plush, from the strange proportions to awfully mistranslated listing titles. This Wario plush has a round yellow cap, with a blue "W" emblem printed onto the front. He has brown sideburns and hair on the back of his head. His face and pointed ears are a light tannish color. He has a pink nose with his iconic jagged moustache jutting out of both sides. His eyes are, like the emblem, printed on. They are white with black pupils and blue lining on the sides. His eyebrows are solid black and printed on with the eyes. He has a disproportionately large smile, similar to the original Kellytoy Wario plush it is based on. He has short, yellow arms with long sleeves, like his old design, rather than the new which has short sleeves. He has white gloves with thread to represent finger detail and a large blue "W" printed on the back of both gloves. His overalls are a pink-ish magenta shade. The overall straps cross at the back and have white printed on buttons. The legs are short, and his shoes are dark green and pointed.

## Errors/Inaccuracies

* The proportions are off entirely.
* The hair does not curl on the back of the head.
* The shoe color is much darker than it should be.
* The embroidery variant seems to not have both sides of the moustache connected.

## Trivia

* It is one of the longest running bootlegs, having been produced for years.
* Oddly enough, the only Kellytoy plush from the line that were bootlegged are Mario and Wario, there was never a Luigi or Donkey Kong bootleg.
* There is a smaller variant with lighter shoes and embroidered details rather than printed.
* It became known by a listing on DHGate advertising it as "Mario Bros. Terrorist Louis plush toys wholesale with top quality", where it got the name Terrorist Louis.
	+ A likely explanation for name is it possibly being a mistranslation of "Terror Luigi", a plush of a scared Luigi from Luigi's Mansion being sold by the same retailer, which was fed through Google Translate and resulted in the name "Terrorist Louis" (Source: suppermariobroth).

## Where to Buy

The bootleg Kellytoy Wario plush is somewhat rare, every once in a while, one will appear for sale. Your best bet for finding one is checking secondhand online shopping sites often, such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Mercari. The embroidery variant is significantly rarer, as it has only appeared a few times, check the same sites listed if you wish to find one. The Wario Land slippers are unfortunately unfindable, as they are very obscure, and have only been seen in one image. Good luck.
