3. Operating the Action Figure

3.1 Articulation Points

The Union Jack action figure features multiple points of articulation, allowing for various poses. These typically include:

• Head (swivel, tilt)
• Shoulders (ball joint)
• Elbows (hinge, swivel)
• Wrists (swivel, hinge)
• Torso (swivel, ab crunch)
• Hips (ball joint)
• Thighs (swivel)
• Knees (double hinge)
• Ankles (hinge, rocker)

Gently manipulate the joints to achieve desired poses. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

3.2 Accessory Usage

The included accessories can be placed in the figure's hands. Some accessories may also fit into holsters or sheaths on the figure's body. Ensure accessories are securely placed to prevent them from falling off during display or play.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To clean the action figure, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint or plastic.

4.2 Storage

Store the figure away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Keep small accessories in a safe place to avoid loss.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Loose Joints or Detached Parts

If a joint becomes loose or a part detaches (e.g., hands), it can often be reattached by gently pushing it back into place. For persistently loose joints, a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint-tightening fluid can be applied to the ball joint and allowed to dry, increasing friction. Exercise caution to avoid permanent adhesion.

5.2 Difficulty Posing

If a joint is stiff, gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to soften the plastic, then carefully articulate the joint. Do not overheat the plastic.
