I bought one in polished brass and one in verdigris.  The antennae on the polished brass one were broken upon arrival, and was not noticed until this was opened as a Christmas gift.  Fortunately it can be repaired with a little solder, so we opted to do just that.  The cricket is really cute and my only disappointment is that the antenna are rather fragile.  Be careful when selecting a spot to put this to avoid breaking the antennae.
