Today they are sought after by collectors of toys, plastics and USSR memorabilia, and the skater makes a charming accent for a shelf or display cabinet. Collectors of Soviet plastics often look for figures connected with sports and everyday life, and a skater is a graceful subject that stands out in a group of figurines. Because the material is brittle, it is best displayed in a safe spot on a shelf or in a cabinet, away from frequent handling and falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
