02.19.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3236- both figures appear overall intact, a careful UV light examination was unremarkable revealing  examination revealing only adhesive at the seam of each helmet, appearing to be inherent to their manufacture, gilt surfaces are mellowed with some light rubs, I note some overall light tarnish, light surface wear and a few minute dents, there are no apparent major losses or repairs
