This is a new, unopened item. It has been stored in a dark place, but it is stored by a private individual. I have confirmed that there are no initial scratches, but this is a personal inspection. If you are concerned about the above, please refrain from purchasing. I am also selling other Nintama Rantaro goods, so if you would like to purchase them together, please apply. I am also looking for someone to buy this item elsewhere. Thank you.
