Condition

The works are in good condition overall. There is evidence of scattered light staining throughout the toys, most noticeable on the grey figure, due to the age of the works. Minor scuffs are noticeable under very close examination which is consistent with the medium. The bottom of the three figures shows the shape of old Velcro strips.
