How to spot a fake Spirit Blossom Ahri figure
Last verified:
The Myethos Spirit Blossom Ahri 1/7 scale figure is a retired limited edition — produced once, released November 28, 2024 at $229.99 US / ¥17,120 JP, and sold out. Three checks settle most cases. The glow: the published spec says all nine tails and the translucent-blue fox companions glow in the dark — a unit that doesn't glow fails the spec sheet. The box: licensed packaging carries the Myethos branding and Riot license line with crisp print; bootleg boxes are re-scanned copies that lose sharpness. The channel: a 'new, in stock' offer well under market from an unverifiable storefront is the classic bootleg channel. No dedicated bootleg run is documented as of June 2026 — but a sold-out figure at this price is exactly where one would appear.

Authentic features
- Glow-in-the-dark parts match the published spec
Expose the figure to bright light, then view it in the dark: all nine tails and the translucent-blue fox companions are specified to glow.
Counterfeit tell: A unit whose tails or foxes don't glow at all fails the published spec. Glow-pigment and translucent parts are the hardest elements for a bootleg recast to replicate, which makes this the strongest figure-level check.
- Size and scale
1/7 scale, approximately 26.9 cm tall in the seated composition including the lotus base.
Counterfeit tell: Bootleg recasts shrink: a unit measurably under the published height came from a copy mold. Bring a ruler to a meetup purchase.
- Box branding and print quality
Licensed packaging carries the Myethos logo and the Riot Games license line, with crisp small text and accurate colors.
Counterfeit tell: The class tells documented in Good Smile Company's official bootleg notice: missing maker logos, dull or shifted re-printed art, and 'no box' or bulk-packaged sales of a boxed retail product.
- Paint vividness and the translucent gradient
Vivid, even color with clean gradients — this sculpt's translucent blue-to-clear transitions on the foxes and tails are its showpiece.
Counterfeit tell: Dull or off-shade color versus official photography is the documented class tell; muddy or opaque 'translucent' parts are its strongest expression on this sculpt.
- Materials and heft
Retailer listings spec PVC, ABS, and metal components — the assembled piece has real weight for its size.
Counterfeit tell: A feather-light, all-plastic-feeling unit is suspicious; recasts cheap out on material before anything else.
- Seller channel and price sanity
Recognized figure retailers and marketplaces with seller history — this figure sold through the Riot store, Sideshow, and the established Japanese retail/pre-owned ecosystem. Riot's store also runs an authenticity-code lookup for items that ship with validation cards.
Counterfeit tell: Per the documented class consensus: products 'too cheap for no particular reason', unverifiable storefronts claiming new stock of a sold-out item, and 'international version' or 'Chinese version' listings — official distribution has no such versions.
Known defects on legitimate releases
Real factory-grade defects on authentic units — protects buyers from rejecting genuine items. Not counterfeit signals.
- Glow strength depends on light charging. Glow-in-the-dark pigment needs light exposure to charge — a genuine unit straight out of a dark storage box glows weakly until it sits under bright light. Test after charging, not before; a weak first glance is physics, not a fake verdict.
- Mold seams on translucent parts. Fine seam lines and small mold marks on the translucent fox companions and tail tips occur on fully authentic mass-produced PVC. Judge sharpness of color and gradient, not the existence of seams.
- Box shelfwear on a single-run product. Every unit ships in the one production run's packaging — corner dings and window scuffs accumulate through the resale chain on genuine stock. Box condition affects collector value, not authenticity.
Pre-shipment photos to ask for
What a trustworthy seller sends before shipping. The Hoarden Buyer Promise commits to these on every item over €150.
- Dark-room glow shot of the tails and fox companions. The strongest single check on this figure — a seller who can't produce a glow photo can't demonstrate the published spec.
- All box faces, including the Myethos logo and Riot license line. Re-printed bootleg boxes lose sharpness in small text and logos — the documented class tell.
- Figure seated on the lotus base, plus the base underside. Shows the fit between figure and base and any maker markings — recast bases fit poorly and skip mold details.
- Face and tail-gradient close-ups. Face paint and the translucent gradients are where recast quality collapses first; compare against official photography.
- Any included paperwork or authenticity card. Documents completeness, and a Riot-store-sourced card code can be run through Riot's product-validation lookup before paying.

Common questions
Is the Myethos Spirit Blossom Ahri actually bootlegged?
No dedicated bootleg run is documented as of June 2026. But the figure has the exact profile bootleggers target: a licensed, sold-out limited edition from a Chinese manufacturer with strong demand. The class-level checks — glow spec, box print, channel, price — are the right diligence whether or not a documented run exists yet.
What should this figure cost now?
It retailed November 28, 2024 at $229.99 US / ¥17,120 JP and is sold out, including pre-owned, at major Japanese resellers. Hoarden tracks zero active eBay asks across the US, UK, and DE marketplaces as of 2026-06-12 — supply that thin means price discovery is wide. The practical guidance inverts the usual: be more suspicious of a cheap 'in stock' offer than an expensive one.
Will it be re-released?
Riot's collectability guide defines its limited editions as 'produced only once, and in small quantities' — once sold out, they're retired with no intention of additional availability. The Riot store lists this figure as a retired limited edition, and no re-release is announced as of June 2026.
How do I test the glow-in-the-dark feature?
Expose the figure to bright light for a while, then view it in a dark room — the published spec says all nine tails and the translucent-blue fox companions glow. A unit that won't glow after a proper light charge fails the spec sheet. Remember the reverse case too: a genuine unit straight from dark storage glows weakly until charged.
Why does the Spirit Blossom Ahri fox plush ask $59–69?
The official Riot store is out of stock on the fox plush, and Hoarden's three tracked asks — two from China-based sellers, one US — run $59 to $69 as of 2026-06-12. Out of stock at the official store is not the same as retired; the store lists it with a restock notification. For the plush, apply plush checks: sewn-in label, stitching quality, and proportions against official photography.
Does the T1 Worlds 2023 Ahri fox plush follow the same checks?
Yes — it's the same fox-plush family in T1's red, black, and gold colorway, produced as a limited edition for T1's 2023 World Championship win at $34.99 retail. Completeness matters on top of the standard plush checks: the documented release includes the embroidered T1 logo scarf, the gold bell, and a matching drawstring bag.
Is buying this figure from AliExpress or Taobao safe?
Bulk wholesale marketplaces are not licensed distribution, and the scale-figure industry's documented warnings are explicit: there are no official 'Chinese versions' or unboxed 'bulk' editions of licensed retail figures. Taobao via a reputable proxy can surface genuine second-hand units from the figure's home market — but the burden of the photo checklist above is then fully on you.
Where does Hoarden's market data come from?
Hoarden tracks active eBay listings daily across the US, UK, and DE marketplaces via the eBay Browse API. The figures shown are asking prices, not completed sales — they describe what sellers want, which typically sits above what buyers pay. Sold-price tracking is being accumulated and will power Hoarden's price guide as sample sizes mature.
