Does that look foil backed to you?
This one does:

I wonder if they are shared designs of slightly different products?

Thank you so much for this. I actually collect ANA stuff as a niche, side collection, so this worked out even better

All good!
Hmm, I might be missing another one then, because I do have the Ninja Snorlax one haha. Iβll check again when I go to my unit to see which one Iβm missing.

Snorlax is number 9, I posted it further back:
edit: but there are two oaks, so quite possible.

If we look carefully, we notice the original sticker enquired about is in japanese, and the two examples we shared are not only foil backed, but also english versions. The names serve as indicators, as do the different sets of copyright information.
Thatβs a little interesting.
But whatβs even more interesting, and slightly unexpected, is thereβs a japanese release of the foil versions, too.

The Japanese text at the bottom says:
Β©2006 γγ«γγ₯γ¦γγγΈγ§γ―γ
This translates to:
Β©2006 Pikachu Project
It is displayed on other ANA released products too, like this popup book.
I found it interesting and figured it was worth noting.
