The tape is cut and re-taped, but the contents haven't been taken out! I love Blythe dolls and have kept them on display without taking them out. I'd like to sell it to someone who will cherish it. The box may have scratches and stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to used items stored at home. We do not accept returns or exchanges, so please be sure to check with us via message before purchasing and make sure you are satisfied with the item. Thank you for looking.
