Setup
Your figure comes pre-assembled and ready for display. Follow these steps for optimal setup:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the figure from its packaging. Retain the original packaging for future storage or transport.
- Placement: Choose a stable, flat surface for display. Ensure the area is free from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can damage the PVC material and paint over time.
- Stability: The figure is designed to be stable on its base. Ensure it is placed securely to prevent accidental falls.

The figure is designed for stable display on a flat surface.
Operating (Display Guidelines)
This figure is a static display piece and does not require active operation. However, proper handling and display practices are crucial for its longevity.
- Handling: Always handle the figure by its main body or base. Avoid touching delicate parts such as the rifle barrel, fingers, or hair to prevent breakage or paint transfer.
- Display Environment:
- Keep away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) to prevent material warping or discoloration.
- Avoid placing in areas with high humidity, which can affect paint adhesion and material integrity.
- Display in a dust-free environment if possible, such as a display cabinet, to minimize cleaning needs.

Observe the intricate details of the figure from various angles.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning will help preserve the appearance of your figure.
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry brush (such as a makeup brush or a dedicated figure brush) to gently remove dust from the surface. For hard-to-reach areas, a can of compressed air can be used, but hold it at a distance to avoid damaging delicate parts.
- Cleaning Stains: For minor smudges or dirt, lightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with plain water. Gently wipe the affected area. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the paint and PVC.
- Avoid Immersion: Never immerse the figure in water or any cleaning solution.

Careful cleaning helps maintain the figure's detailed appearance.
Troubleshooting
While figures are generally robust, minor issues can occur. Here are some common concerns and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Figure is dusty. | Exposure to open air. | Gently dust with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. |
| Paint discoloration or fading. | Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong artificial light. | Relocate the figure to an area with indirect light. Discoloration may not be reversible. |
| Figure feels sticky. | Plasticizer migration due to heat or age. | Wipe gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Ensure good ventilation in the display area. |
| Small part detached. | Accidental impact or manufacturing defect. | For minor reattachments, a small amount of super glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive) can be used carefully. Apply sparingly with a toothpick. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer if within warranty. |

Inspect all parts, including small details like the wolf dog, for any issues.
