Well Made Bootlegs That Were Better Than the Original
You can't always buy official merch because you have bills to pay and other priorities that need your attention. So, sometimes, you'd get a bootleg version of what you want. One that looks almost like the original and can last even longer in time, if you take good care of it. And no one will know.
But there are times when that's not a possibility, and you start exploring the amazing world of bootleg merch. There was a time when there was no difference between an original and a bootleg, and other times where bootlegs were even better for some reason. There was also a time when you didn't know you were getting a bootleg and thought you were the coolest kid on the block for having Aladdin III, a game that doesn't actually exist.
So, here are photos of well-made bootlegs that were better than the original, or maybe not, but they're funnier for sure.
