Regarding the item's condition: There is a tear (peeling) in the fabric near the battery box on the belly. There are no issues with the operation, but there is damage to the appearance, so please check the photos. There is peeling (tearing) of the fabric on the belly. If you are interested, I would be happy to pass it on to someone who would like to use it as a toy for a child, or who could perhaps sew on new fabric and cherish it. Thank you for viewing.
