Condition Report
The plush toy is in good pre-owned vintage condition. The bright red faux fur remains soft and fully rooted. The plastic eyes are securely seated; close inspection highlights minor scuffing, tiny dark surface marks, and typical age-related uniform yellowing on the glossy white plastic globes. The interior electronics bay is accessed via a functional hidden plastic lead wire that extends out from the lower back seam. The battery box terminal tray is exceptionally clean, completely free of battery acid leakage, corrosion, or rusted contacts, and includes its matching cream-colored screw-down battery cover plate.
