    I had a first-rate experience with this seller. They promptly (super duper quickly!) shipped the item and it was packaged securely and safely. The item is as described. It has an exceptional appearance and condition, which is impressive as it is some years old. It's truly a unique and fascinating "fandom collection". It is a high quality item. The pricing is fair and reasonable. I very much suggest you check out their wares and I highly recommend this stellar seller A+++
