I purchased this item new and displayed it in my room for about a month after opening it. Afterwards, it was stored in a dark place. * I have not taken it outside. I believe there are no noticeable scratches or stains, but I may have missed something. Please check the condition in the images and refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about any storage-related scratches or stains. Natsume Isaku Plushie Mascot Keychain Strap
