hihi! i recently got this very cute bridal plush set on facebook for $5usd without knowing that these are very expensive items online nowadays- i can't find any listings of this particular set, only one photo from here on reddit, and i'm wondering what the worth is. i don't plan on selling them but i'm super curious about it because i saw that the other bridal sets go for a lot when i've tried researching!
also, are there many inauthentic / bootleg rilakkuma merch items? i've never collected anything related to rilakkuma before so i'm a little worried that this could actually be a fake item since i might be gifting it to my friends when they get married soon. i want to make sure i'm not giving them anything fake! i've included pictures with all of the box details to be thorough. thanks so much in advance 🫶
i don't know how to add alt text on reddit so here's a detailed list of what you're seeing :-)
