Condition report:
The internal toy appears complete but the musical, lighting, and snow-blowing mechanisms are untested. The original cardboard packaging is in poor condition, exhibiting significant structural damage. There is heavy crushing, creasing, and multiple tears to the cardboard, particularly around the top and the clear plastic window opening (photo 1). Clear adhesive tape has been applied to the front and top sections to repair large tears. The box shows general shelf wear, surface scuffing, and blunting to all corners.
