Hi All,
I recently purchased an EMCE/Diamond Select re-issue of Cornelius from eBay, and when I unpacked it from the shipping box, I noticed that there was cracking and flaking to several spots on the brown vinyl "pleather" chest piece and one of the vinyl bands to the left arm. Bits of the outer vinyl coating had chipped off and were stuck to the inside of the plastic bubble. I had not noticed any damage to the figure in the photo for the eBay auction and am thinking maybe the bumping around of the figure during shipping may have caused or worsened the problem.
Does anyone know whether this is because of the different fabric used? I have loose original Cornelius and Zira figures which I've owned for over 20 years and neither of them have any chipping of the pleather accents.
Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks very much!
