Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The paper mache construction and delicate glitter finish are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Standing at 19 inches tall, this is a substantial statement piece. It is best suited for a tabletop, mantel, or bookshelf where it has enough clearance to be displayed as a focal point.
The skeleton bat is included as an accessory to complement the figure. Please handle the piece with care when unpacking to ensure the bat and the attached chain remain secure.
To maintain the finish, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paper mache and glitter details.
No assembly is required. The figure arrives as a single piece and is ready to be displayed immediately upon unpacking.
