What's in the Box

Carefully unpack the contents. The package should contain the following items:

Setup and Assembly

1. Unpackaging

Gently remove the figure and its accessory from the packaging. Ensure all ties and protective materials are detached before proceeding.

2. Attaching the Weapon Accessory

The Spartan Buck figure comes with a detachable weapon. To attach, carefully align the weapon's handle with the figure's hand. Gently push the handle into the figure's grip until it is securely held. Do not force the accessory, as this may cause damage.

Operating Instructions

1. Articulation Points

Your Spartan Buck figure features 17 points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses. These include joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, and ankles. Move each joint gently to achieve desired positions.

2. Posing Your Figure

Experiment with different joint movements to create iconic Halo poses or new action scenes. Support the figure at its base or main body when adjusting limbs to prevent undue stress on the joints.

3. Weapon Handling and Storage

The included weapon can be held in either hand. When not in use, the weapon can be stored by attaching it to the figure's back, if a compatible slot is present, or kept separately to prevent loss.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean your figure, gently wipe it with 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 and finish.

2. Storage

Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading, and extreme temperatures can affect the plastic's integrity. Keep small accessories in a secure container to prevent loss.

Troubleshooting

1. Stiff Joints

If a joint feels stiff, gently try to move it back and forth. Do not apply excessive force. In some cases, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not oil-based) can be applied to the joint, but this should be done sparingly and with caution.

2. Loose Accessories

If an accessory fits loosely, ensure it is correctly aligned and fully inserted. If the issue persists, minor adjustments to the accessory's peg or the figure's hand opening may be required, but proceed with extreme care to avoid damage.
