Both versions of Deadly Nature did, yes. For Instagram Ivy, I do not know about the pale version, but the variant green did not. It had tape.

Good to know. I love that piece. I wish the Batman/Catwoman one was half as good.

It depends more on which Chinese factory than the producer.

What was once known as the "green room" factory, which at a time was regarded as the surest bet, which used to do all of XMs stuff, began using straps for other producers as well.

Most statues now use plastic bags for pieces but this Deadly Nature used tissue paper right?

The pale version of the throne did not come with straps. I did a comparison between the two Ivys on my YT. Guessing the Deadly nature went to a better factory as the paint app and packaging was better than the throne version.

Either the factory thing, or maybe the two sitting Ivy pieces were in production prior to them making the change to straps.

The best feeling is always loving the piece every time you look at it. With this one you know she'll bring joy years to come. Welcome to the forum.

I believe it's the factory, I received the Harley Quinn Suicide Squad earlier in the year, that one came with straps and the old style grey styrofoam, Dark Knight Returns also straps but Ronan Wolverine, Iron Spiderman were both tapped.

I certainly hope it's only the color that is the same as that old crap that falls apart like crazy. I just got the og Ivy PF with that grey stuff, and I'm going to be vacuuming grey styro pieces from the corners of my living room for the next 2 weeks.
