can anyone tell if this is ilya figure is a bootleg?
from what i can tell, the figure's base and the hilt or pummel of the umbrella is similar to the authentic figure and different from the bootleg w/c is a good sign.
but whats having me undecided on buying this is the missing sticker at the top right of the box. aside from that the box looks same as the authentic ones.
the seller said they got it in a japan auction, even so, the missing sticker is bothering me. and im not much knowledgeble about those stickers. do they prove authenticity?
you can check the pictures here
hope someone can give me a definite answer. Thanks

I saw that there aren’t any user photos of the box of this figure so I made a few and I hope it puts your mind at ease.

Don't rely on that alone though, there probably also are bootlegs that use the right barcode but I've noticed that a number of bootlegs have their own barcode which differs from the original.
I can't tell exactly why that is the case. Maybe it's a way to pretend that the items are not counterfeit when they get caught or maybe using the actual barcode makes it harder for them to distribute since they can't prove that they are the original manufacturer, I don't know.
I'm leaning towards legit.
how can you tell from the barcode?
