Purchased at a museum, etc. I'm selling it because my child no longer uses it. I'm not sure if "soft figure" is the correct term, but it's soft enough to dent slightly when pressed firmly. There are no noticeable stains, but there are some areas, such as the edges, where the paint has chipped slightly. Personally, I don't think it's very noticeable. I am a private seller, so there may be oversights. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. It will be shipped in simple packaging.
