    Good call. I looked up the official version of this Minnie costume and they all looked this this one:

    Right away you can see differences: no lipstick, her arms are black, the bow color is wrong, no buttons, the white spots on the arms of the dress are wrong…definitely a knock-off.

    EDIT: You were right on the money, it’s from Vegas.

      Lol I love how this article censors the picture of the guy smoking because “think of the children” and"we must preserve the magic* or whatever, but leaves Minnie’s severed head just sitting on the ground.

      Lucky guess, I’m not sure why other commenters in this post are going “of course its vegas.”

      I’ve been to Times Square, they have the knock offs. I’ve been to the real Eiffel Tower, they have the knock offs. I forget where in London, but they were there too.

      Anywhere on Earth tourist trappy enough to be in any proximity to an M&M store, and you’ll likely find mutant Disney characters in costumes of wildly varying quality appealing to your kids for a $20 picture.

        I’ve been to all three places you mentioned as well and never saw any costumed characters. I sure did when I went to Vegas, though. Maybe they’re even more ubiquitous in Vegas than in other touristy places, or maybe it’s because I was in Vegas in 2016 while New York was 2002 and Paris and London were in the late 80s.

          Its always interesting to me to see how horrifying they are based on the location.

            They all manage to be uncanny valley even though it’s a cartoon character, but the middle one in particular reeeeally didn’t try.
