Thank you for this posting and the kind words.

This Carrera looks fine to me, except that the crown is not correct. As you point out, it is fatter than it should be.

Regarding the hands, they look correct to me, but have probably been relumed. The color / texture just does not look original.

: Also are these hands correct?
