Troubleshooting

The Bandai Ultraman Kaiju Ultra Monster figures are generally robust. However, if you encounter any issues:

• Stiff Joints: If an articulated joint feels stiff, gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds (do not overheat) to make the vinyl more pliable, then carefully attempt to move the joint.
• Ultra Live Sign Not Recognized: Ensure the Ultra Live Sign ID badge on the figure's foot is clean and making full contact with the compatible device. Refer to the instruction manual of your DX Ginga (Galaxy) Spark unit or other Ultra Live device for specific troubleshooting steps.
