Setup and Assembly
Your ARTFX Statue comes with interchangeable parts for customized display. Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the main statue body, the environmental ice base, and the three sets of interchangeable arms/weapons (dual ice-climbing pickaxes, dual .45 caliber pistols, and the M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle).
- Base Attachment: The statue body is designed to fit securely onto the environmental ice base. Align the pegs on the statue's feet with the corresponding holes on the base and gently press down until it is stable.
- Attaching Arms/Weapons: Select your desired arm and weapon configuration. The arms are designed to fit snugly into the shoulder sockets of the statue. Apply gentle, firm pressure to attach them. For the M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle, it is a separate piece that fits into the hands of the corresponding arm set.
- Storing Alternate Parts: The environmental ice base features a hollow compartment with a removable bottom. This space can be used to safely store any alternate arms or weapons not currently in use.

Operating and Display
Once assembled, your statue is ready for display. Consider the following for optimal presentation and safety:
- Placement: Choose a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or high humidity. These conditions can cause fading or damage to the statue's materials over time.
- Interchanging Parts: To change arm or weapon sets, gently but firmly pull the current arms from the shoulder sockets. Then, align and push the new set into place. Avoid twisting or forcing the parts, as this may cause damage.
- Handling: Always handle the statue by its main body or base. Avoid gripping delicate parts like weapons or thin protrusions.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help preserve the appearance of your statue:
- Dusting: Regularly dust the statue with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. For intricate areas, a soft-bristled paintbrush can be effective.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth (water only). Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the paint and finish. Immediately dry any wet areas with a clean, dry cloth.
- Storage: If storing the statue for an extended period, return it to its original packaging or a protective container to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Arms/weapons are difficult to attach or remove. | The parts are designed for a snug fit to ensure stability. Apply gentle, consistent pressure when attaching or detaching. Avoid twisting or excessive force. If a part feels stuck, ensure it is properly aligned before applying more pressure. |
| Statue appears dusty or dirty. | Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with plain water, then immediately dry. Do not use chemical cleaners. |
| Statue is unstable on its base. | Ensure the statue's feet pegs are fully inserted into the corresponding holes on the base. Verify the base is placed on a flat, level surface. |
