Condition Report
Please study the provided high-resolution photographs to evaluate the physical condition of this vintage electronic toy:
Storage & Presentation: This is an open-box item. While the outer cardstock box has been opened, the inner Furby remains well-staged within its display window framework.
Functional Assessment: The toy is confirmed operational and fully tested. The electronic speaker elements emit clear audio, and the internal motor gears drive the eye and ear mechanisms smoothly. The undercarriage battery compartment is completely clean, pristine, and free of toxic battery acid leakage or terminal rust.
Box Flaws: The original 1999 cardboard box shows standard vintage characteristics from storage. Expect minor edge softening, a small horizontal compression crease along the top-right purple flap seam, and slight surface scuffing to the clear plastic view window. The original adhesive retail sticker is firmly attached.
