Thank you very much for viewing. While there are minor scratches and signs of use as it was played with and enjoyed, there are no issues with its operation. This product does not require batteries. - You can practice finger dexterity with the five switches: "twist," "lower," "push," "tilt," and "turn." - The characters that appear according to the expressions of Anpanman drawn on the lid will pique your interest. I plan to wrap the box in bubble wrap before shipping. Thank you for your consideration.
