I bought this about 5 years ago at an E-Tele event in the Kansai region. My two sons would occasionally play with it, but it seems to have been more of a hobby for me, their mother. It's not very dirty and I think it can still be played with. It's been home-cleaned! I keep guinea pigs, but this is stored in a separate room. Please consider this, understanding that this is a personal inspection and storage. I am also selling on other sites, so please comment before purchasing. Feel free to ask any questions! - Character Name: Curious George - Color: Brown - Tags: Curious George Thank you for looking.
