2. Setup

Upon receiving your Gamera figure, please follow these steps:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the figure from its packaging. Avoid using sharp objects that could scratch or damage the figure.
2. Initial Inspection: Examine the figure for any visible manufacturing defects or damage that may have occurred during shipping.

3. Operating the Figure

This Gamera figure features several points of articulation, allowing for various poses. Handle the figure gently to prevent damage.

• Articulation Points: The figure's legs move at the hips, the tail can move slightly side-to-side, and the arms move at the shoulders.
• Posing: Gently manipulate the limbs to achieve desired poses. Do not force joints beyond their natural range of motion.

4. Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the condition and longevity of your Gamera figure.

• Cleaning: Dust the figure regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading or material degradation.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your figure, consider the following:

• Stiff or Loose Joints: If a joint feels stiff, gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to make the vinyl more pliable, then carefully move the joint. If a joint is loose, it may be possible to carefully adjust it, but avoid excessive force.
• Figure Details: Some figures may have minor variations in design, such as the number of fingers, which are part of the specific sculpt and not a defect.
