I?m not a collector, but I?ve inherited a toy collection from a very meticulous collector. According to his records, he purchased this toy new in 1998. It?s made in China by Yutaka which is a subsidiary of Bandai. Measure about 7? tall and is made of hard plastic or vinyl. Both toy, inserts and box are in new condition. I just took it out of the box to make sure it?s all there, other than that, it's been stored indoors and untouched. When I push the switch on the back the red light in the chest barely lights up and the toy makes a growling noise, but it needs a new battery, but I?m not sure how to access it. I see there are screws in the back of the figure, but it doesn't look like it would open up. Photos are of actual items you will receive. Please email me with any questions before bidding.
