Flame Update (the Horse, not Ken) : without anything more than my bare hands, I ripped that box open from the bottom (I figured he'd put more glue on the top) The Horse looks GREAT! WOW! The Seam is NOT discolored and only minimal saddle-marks...this horse will be essential in any future photo-shoot/story in where I want the horse to be in motion. Thanks again for the trade...and please feel free to glue your boxes shut.....that was one STURDY box...exactly what a Marx Horse needs for transit.........if you ever had your heart ripped out by receiving a Mark Horse won on eBay that arrives with a broken-off tail...then you know what I mean. So far I have gotten 3 horses with busted tails. One went back for a refund. one I negotiated a partial refund and kept the horse for the saddle (I'll probably glue that damn tail back, but it's never the same) and one was part of a set and the seller offered to discount it $20, but I really didn't need the other parts of the set.....so eventually It'll go back on eBay.
