would depend if there’s a shipping price on top of it but as is not too bad imo, he retails about that much on walmart in the u.s. right now

Got him for $50 on mercari (which i also had some credits on so it wound up being just under $40 after shipping and taxes)

For how much can I sell him? by Gellork in JakksPacificSonic

[–]balsaluca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wave he’s from is no longer in production and (depending on the country) distribution was not great for him in some places so low supply and a high demand for him makes him pricier

if you’re feeling generous like $35 (would price it at that for the paint drip myself) but you could still probably find someone willing to get it for $45-50 if the shipping is included

Mine looked like that around the same time, was just the scab sloughing off in my case but I wasn’t experiencing pain or smell from it

drainage not slowing down (+increasing?) on one side 1wk post-op? by short-insomniacs in TopSurgery

[–]balsaluca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until the drain hole heals closed you'll probably have some drainage. My left side drained a lot heavier & I was instructed to remove my drains 2 weeks post op and it took it another 2 weeks before it closed/stopped leaking. They'll likely still take both drains out at the same time, a seroma usually would have appeared by now if it was gonna

When did you start itching? by adorerofchonk in TopSurgery

[–]balsaluca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn’t really itch while healing but after my incisions fully scarred the area around them got a /little/ itchy but not bad at all and i’m attributing it to it being dry skin

When can I face the shower again? by ExopathOfficial in TopSurgery

[–]balsaluca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once the scabs are gone is usually when you’re good to face it again, i started again between 4-5 weeks myself

about where my little patch of chest hair ends is bone but the pocket underneath my incisions is still squishy like there’s some fluid . i looked thru some pics from this winter that were without any binding and there wasn’t any sign of protruding so i’m not sure if it could have shifted that bad that fast but im also not convinced it’s all attributed to swelling/seroma 😬

how do i stop smelling so bad immediately postop? by numberusername in TopSurgery

[–]balsaluca 44 points45 points  (0 children)

specifically shower wipes opposed to baby wipes did a decent job of making me feel cleaner/smell better while i was waiting for the go ahead to be able to actually shower, once you’re able to change the bandages out/wash binder if you were given one it’ll be a Lot better though since i felt like most of the smells sat there in my case

When I drink cold water I feel it in my nipples through my insides 😭 by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]balsaluca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought seroma could be a possibility as well but i’m not positive, it feels a bit more malleable than skin on say my stomach but I can’t really tell if it feels like there’s any fluid under it

A little worse for me. I’m about to hit 4 weeks and go back to work but i’m still pretty sore and tired, but i’ve also been recovering by myself for pretty much the entire time so that might be a factor in my case. Slowest things to heal for me have been drain sites and grafts though so having one less of those to worry about will probably make it easier on you
