This gorgeous Lladro figurine belongs to a mega collector who has so many figurines that it's time to downsize. This figurine has never been displayed. I had to gingerly remove the figurine to inspect it. It is indeed brand new. The Lladro brochure is attached and in it's original sealed envelope. You will not find a soiled base, or residue, chips, cracks, nicks, repairs ........ or all the other words used to describe damage. The box has very minor shelf wear having been stored away all these years. This figurine was produced in 1998, released in 1999, and retired in 2000. It is quite large, and detailed with "Millennnium" on the the banner flag, dates and planets on his robe, and as always painted in the subtle hues that has made Lladro famous. Buy with confidence!
