Opened at bottom and will be resealed before shipping so you can still have the opening experience for you or a loved one! Opened to check coloring to see if I want to keep this one or my other secret. I always buy directly from the PopMart app using PopNow. The coloring in the first pic looks a little darker than in-person so check the photo of ID in the light for a bit more accurate coloring. Ships quickly and from a smoke-free/pet-free home. Let me know if you have any questions!
