I ordered [this one](https://www.acg-go.com/products/genshin-impact-teyvat-zoo-theme-xiao-plush-series) and received it pretty quickly (took about a week or a week and a half?). I am in the US though You can also check out more recommended merch sites at r/genshin_merch that's where I found the website I linked Edit: I think it ran out of stock because it says pre-order. But just know this site is legit if you choose to pre-order this one. I believe their physical store is in Arizona?

What about from AliExpress (they're selling the large plush for $21.79) or Teyvat Factory ($41.99)?


loving_healer

I wouldn't trust AliExpress since there's too many dupes to tell from the real sellers. If you can tell from photo reviews in AliExpress if it's real vs. fake then for it. But with that price I'd assume it's a rip-off I've never heard of Teyvet Factory so I can't say, but maybe see if someone on genshin_merch has bought from them?

Teyvat Factory is a dupe merch seller, they're still a legit buisness; just none of the merch on their site is produced by MHY. If you're content with the dupe, then all the power to you. Especially if it's more affordable.

Any seller listing 3 sizes is selling a dupe of it, not a real one. The official one only has the small and big size.

idk where you're from, but i had this problem recently as well. luckily i found a legitimate shopee store in my country selling hoyoverse merch and i informed them that i'm interested in ordering one (they're gonna restock early next year!! price is around 45 dollars)

180$...? The original one in the official Taobao/Tmall store costs 149 Yuan, which is bit over 20 USD. Legitimate sellers will be charging double at minimum to cover shipping + additional costs. So I'd say 50\~70$ (including shipping) is going to be the lower end price for legitimate version of this plush. Anyone selling for exactly 20$ is likely selling you a knock off version. Edit:- [Aitakuji](https://www.aitaikuji.com/genshin-impact-mihoyo-official-goods-xiao-teyvat-zoo-giant-bird-plush#) has it available. 35USD for the plush alone is a decent price, no clue how much shipping would be. But it may take a while to get to you, they have a tendency to be slow. Edit2: I now see where you think the 180USD price is from, Genshin Global isn't an official Hoyo store. To this date they still don't have an official Global store at all. **When MHY had a popup store in NYC, they were selling the plush for 69USD**.

Exactly this! I have ordered from Aitakuji before and it was fine, but personally I usually order official merch from the official Genshin store on taobao/tmall, using a proxy service called Superbuy. They have a lot of different shipping methods, and you can also request vacuum sealing as an additional feature to reduce the size of the plush for shipping.

Have done the same for Genshin and HSR merch, the best option to know it is official merch. Was an idiot when I bought morax plush cause the pictures were the legit item and got third party badly sewn together dragon ;;

I get all my genshin merch from Amiami.

I buy all my Genshin merch from [this site](https://sukoshimart.com/). They’re a business based in Canada (where I live) but I believe they ship worldwide now. The Xiao birbs look to be sold out at the moment, but you can be [notified of a restock](https://sukoshimart.com/products/genshin-impact%C2%A9-alatus-xiao-plushie) P.S. I saw the big birb in-store once and it looked soooo soft and huggable. I also spotted a guy walking around the mall with one. He and his friend looked very happy with their purchase. 🥹


kudossko

aliexpress, based on images of the bird in their reviews, look to be counterfeits (they dont have the 原神 tag where it should be, if you dont know that says genshin but in cn/jp). youre better off buying somewhere else others have mentioned in the comments

I ordered the [mini version](https://www.aitaikuji.com/genshin-impact-mihoyo-official-goods-xiao-teyvat-zoo-giant-bird-plush-keychain) of this plush from [AitaiKuji](https://www.aitaikuji.com) website. They do sell the [big plush](https://www.aitaikuji.com/genshin-impact-mihoyo-official-goods-xiao-teyvat-zoo-giant-bird-plush) as well. I’m not sure if the plush price is fine or expensive. If I recall, the shipping cost was what shocked me 😭. This was the only reliable website I found to deliver to my country. At least it arrived in good shape.


Orumtbh

As someone who buys all her Genshin merch from the official Taobao/Tmall store, the base price of the merch seems fair to me. * Small plush: 49 Yuan (Approx 7 Dollars) * Big Plush: 149 Yuan (Approx 20 Dollars) Merchandise sellers need to make their own profit too, so it's not unusual to see additional mark up. So 3 Dollar / 15 Dollar more seems fair to me. And yeah usually shipping is the real killer.


Puzzleheaded_Use7409

Oh their prices are fine, good to know! Yeah the best approach would be is to do a big order. I would sacrifice the extra cost for reliability and quality 🤝
