Threads are tight (there is some extra length on the body which could be cut without harm). I have not cleaned the face or body, other than with a soft cloth. It's really in good shape with no smells or spots on the fur. Some general dirt spots on the face may come off with a decent cleaning, which I will leave up to the new owner. Rare to find in this condition and hard-to-find head mold shape for MY TOY company.
Thank you for your interest!
