I do my very best to describe the items and I am not an expert in these collectible figures. Please see all photos and know that since this is a vintage Sculpture, it is as is. I personally think after researching that this is in wonderful Vtg condition, and considering it has the two original stickers, and is more rare, this is a special Palatnik piece.
