I purchased this a while ago and have kept it stored in a dark place ever since. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. As you can see in the photos, the color of the straps has turned black. - The purple Hoppe-chan (2) are the type that do not have straps. - The white Hoppe-chan on the far left is the type that has a strap, but it is missing. The Hoppe-chan in the second and third photos are collaboration goods with the drama "Pintokona," so they are believed to be very rare.
