Box and doll are both in "out of the store" condition. How they survived so well being storage 23 years I don't know, but they truly survived. I have taken photos of all sides of the box so you can check and the doll is pristine inside her space. I have no knowledge of how well the "bubbles" work after all these years but I have heard no complaints either.
I am not in a position to offer returns. However, if I have misled you in any way, a refund would certainly be in order.
I ship overseas via eBay's shipping program.
