He might well be, I was pleased that he had a hand pulled trunk and tail - I didn't think that very cheap imports would have bothered with the hand work? Although I suppose in India and China hand work is pretty cheap. The trunk hasn't been separately applied like the tail, it looks as though the front of the head was reheated and then the trunk pulled.
Everything else in the little batch I got him in was nice quality, so I suppose I am assuming from that he isn't going to be dirt rubbish. But I could well be wrong.
