I purchased this item used and played with the pop-out feature a few times before storing it in a storage room. I have confirmed the functionality of the ball state, pop-out feature, and stand. * The Sherman tends to open slightly in ball form. Also, the Lumina Bronte's tail is broken and missing. Please be aware of this before purchasing. To prevent swapping, returns, exchanges, and claims are not accepted. This is not a perfect item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
