when I got this figure, I expected it to be kinda small since I didn't read the size dimensions. However, when I got a box in the mail that even I could sit in, I was immediately happy!! I ripped it open like a present on christmas morning and stared at it for a couple minutes before opening it up and assembling it, which didn't take much time because it's just a platform and supporting pegs for the hair. It's beautiful!! Thank you TOM! (also, thank you for the postcard!! I loved it!)
