I have stored this item in a plastic bag in a dark place, but I am selling it to organize my collection. No outer packaging. It will be shipped via Mercari's Nekopos service, with cardboard included. As this is a mass-produced item, there may be rough areas in the sculpting or initial imperfections. Also, as it is an item that is several years old since its release, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect condition item.
