This item has been received damaged. the box is crashed in several places. it is a bandai premium product, which i purchased at a premium price, as a collectable. however, adequate protection was not provided and as a result, the packaging is unacceptable. the bubble wrap was not adequate and the plastic parcel bag did not provide crush protection. i could have bought this item, in japan, in mint condition for the same price. the box feels strange, also. it feels as though it was exposed to moisture. it feels softer than it should. i fear that the item inside will be damaged, considering how crushed the box is on the front and back.
