Otherwise, the figure is in excellent condition. Shipping and insurance are free with the purchase of this item.  Guarantee:  I guarantee this figure is ancient as described.  You have 10 days after receipt of the figure to validate its authenticity.  If you do not feel the figure is ancient as described, and you can give adequate reasons for your concerns, you may return the figure to me (paying shipping and insurance costs) and I will refund your purchase price.  While I am sure of the quality of the figure, I wouldn't want you to be unhappy with your purchase.
