Back in 2012,there was a toy store in my neighborhood that I would visit every week with my dad.One week when I went there,there were so many toys and I didn't know what to choose.So I asked my dad to help me and he handled me a SpongeBob toy in a plastic bag that featured a green pool and tow small figures of Bob and Patrick.It was too expensive so I rejected it and went the other day to buy it,but it wasn't there.I've been trying to find it online since without result.Let the hunt begin.

I'm suspecting this is a bootleg toy. Do you remember what else this store sold?

Reason I think is bootleg since I found this other Spongebob bootleg toy online that is also in a plastic bag: 64.media.tumblr.com/ee5a5d400c7d3086f6cdf91cff71458e/tumblr_o126tyKVNu1uxkzdxo1_400.jpg

Sorry for not responding sooner PikaFusion, I'm just a new member in the forum,glad that you're participating.
Now I believe too that it was,in fact a bootleg toy,but this one is a bit different.
Any other bootleg or unofficial toy that I have came across,can be found online (ebay for instance) but this one was lost.
I remember that that the store sold many things,not just toys,which confirms the theory of the toy being unofficial.

What kind of shop was it? Do you have examples of other bootleg toys, or other toys purchased from the shop? (Those could help narrow down where the toy was sold.)

You can use the "report thread" button to make move requests. I already did for this one. Lucy (kobochat) goes over the concept in the pinned thread "Reporting Posts".
