After purchase, I only stored it without carrying or using it, so the plush part is as good as new. There are scratches on the metal parts that are difficult to capture in the photos. Please refer to the third photo. It wasn't originally in a bag and was displayed and sold in the store. I will protect the item sufficiently, but it will be shipped slightly compressed. My collection has grown too large, so I'm looking for someone who will cherish it.
