What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives finished-model dimensions as 15 cm high, 12.5 cm wide and 11.5 cm deep in one feature, while its general item dimensions are 26.2 x 19.1 x 11.8 centimetres. These appear to describe different measurements, but the listing does not clarify the distinction. Its weight is also listed as both 689 g and 689.91 g, and recommended age appears as both 10 years and up and 10 - 100 years. Confirm the intended finished size and age guidance if either affects your purchase.
