The thing that convinces me that there is some truth to this is that the picture for the Big Comfy Couch doesn't seem to match up with any official marketing material. So that means if someone did try to create this as a prank or to screw with people they had to have spent a /long/ time finding a pull so deep that even people here couldn't find it. I'm not necessarily saying this is completely legitimate, its possible that maybe this is fan made but i think whoever created it had to have some connection to the IP.
Another reason you might not be able to find something is that it's been edited and thus there's only the 1 instance of it; a faked picture you won't be able to find elsewhere in order to make it seem more legitimate - I've just done a quick search for it to try to find it, and believe I may have found it. Simply searched for "big comfy couch show", it isn't very far down although it is a pinterest thing so that's annoying.
It appears to be (her face at least) a flipped and heavily edited version based on the full size of this :
I resized and overlayed the image. My editing skills aren't good enough to get them the exact right size to align fully, but you should be able to see what I mean - eyebrows, hat shape, eye shape etc all line up very, very well.
Obviously it's a costume so there will be similarities no matter what, but it definitely seems a bit odd that there's a photo where things like the eyes + eyebrows match fairly closely like that. There are a few differences and my editing skills aren't good enough to show the similarities properly though, unfortunately - it's clearer to see when you can instantly overlay that ontop to compare them directly, too.
I'm not trying to dissuade you from your view. I agree that these look amateurish, to the point that I've doubted their legitimacy. However, these were apparently canned before any announcement. They're going to look unfinished because they were early into development.
