Although it is new and unused, I do not know the year of manufacture. It was carefully stored by a relative who loves Doraemon. Returns and claims are not accepted in case of defects. Please purchase only if you understand this. The product has not been taken out of the box since it was purchased, and I believe there are no scratches. The outer box is also clean. How about it for those who love Doraemon, or as a toy for children who love Doraemon? Batteries are not included.
