Card Captor Sakura Kinomoto Plush Toy UFO Catcher Doll Banpresto 1999 Vintage

This listing is for 1 Sakura Kinomoto UFO Catcher plush doll from Card Captor Sakura. It was released by Banpresto in December 1999. The plush is in used condition as it was displayed on a shelf for over a decade. It was purchased from another collector, but has not been handled roughly. It has some wear and tear, however, due to age. The plush overall looks great, but several parts were made using a faux leather material and have signs of wear. Faux leather tends to break down over time and can peel and crack. The shoes and brooch have some cracking and peeling. Some of the faux leather has transferred to the bodice from the brooch due to rubbing against it. There is a bit of transfer on the hang tag as well from the shoes. The crown has a bit of creasing, but the front and back parts have separated. Do note that the faux leather may continue to degrade over time and may crack or crumble during the shipping process. Please keep that in mind before buying this item. The face still looks bright and nice. I dusted the plush a bit, but there may be some fuzz on it when the plush arrives and some fine clear threads on the surface of the toy. The hang & tush tags are still attached & look nice. The hang tang has a bit of bending, but besides the transfer from the shoes in one corner, it's in great condition. UFO Catcher plush toys from Card Captor Sakura are quite hard to find as this plush is long out of production. It's in very nice condition given its age.
