I've seen a few Steel Brigade mint in sealed bag recently. These are from the 80's.
Some say Made in China on the bag. I assume those are the original bags. But one bag says nothing at all. Is that original? The figure is perfectly mint. |

If it says nothing its fake. There was someone buying mint figures and resealing them and passing them of as MiB recently.

Interesting!
The figure is clearly mint like new. The others all say made in China, and have a number. |

From experience I can tell you that certain cleaning products such as WD40 will take the writing clean off the bag whilst leaving the bag intact. If you've not heard of WD40, it's a UK thing used for lubricating door locks, bike chains, getting rid of sticker residue etc
I own a misb Steel Brigade with half of the writing missing from the bag so it's possible. |

If the plastic of the bag is clean and bright then I don't see how it is original. I've opened a few sealed ARAH vehicles and the bag the figure is in is cloudy and brittle.

Funny but I have never noticed the writing on my figure's bag and I've had it since the late 90's. I had to run and take a look and see if there was writing. In my defense it's been in a display clam shell for years.
