3. Setup and Assembly

Follow these step-by-step instructions to assemble your MyBuild Keiji Blue Mech. Ensure you have a clean, flat surface to work on and keep all pieces organized.

3.1. Core Frame Construction

Begin by assembling the core frame structure. This system is designed for ease of use, allowing you to build outwards from a central skeleton.

The core frame utilizes specialized joint pieces that connect securely, forming the foundation for the mecha's articulation. Refer to the included instruction booklet for detailed diagrams on connecting these initial pieces.

3.2. Attaching Armor and Details

Once the core frame is complete, proceed to attach the blue armor plates and other detailed components. Pay close attention to the orientation of each piece as shown in the instructions.

The instructions will guide you through building the legs, arms, torso, and head, ensuring all posable joints are correctly integrated. The cockpit area is designed for easy access to place a mini-figure (sold separately).

3.3. Final Touches

Complete the assembly by adding any remaining accessories, such as the sword. Double-check all connections to ensure the mecha is stable and all parts are securely attached.

4. Operating and Posing

The MyBuild Keiji Blue Mech is designed for extensive articulation, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses. Its well-balanced design ensures stability even in complex stances.

• Joint Movement: Gently manipulate the joints in the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles to achieve desired poses. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Stability: Experiment with different leg and foot positions to find stable stances for your mecha. The wide feet provide a good base.
• Customization: Utilize the brick compatibility to enhance your mecha with additional parts from other MyBuild sets or compatible building brick brands. This allows for unique modifications and expanded play scenarios.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your MyBuild Keiji Blue Mech.

• Cleaning: To clean the bricks, wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the assembled mecha or loose bricks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping.
• Handling: Handle the assembled model with care, especially when posing, to avoid accidental disassembly or damage to the joints.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact MyBuild customer support.
• Difficulty Connecting Bricks: Ensure the bricks are correctly aligned and apply firm, even pressure. Some new bricks may require a bit more force initially.
• Loose Joints: If a joint feels too loose, ensure all connecting pins or studs are fully inserted. Over time, repeated posing can slightly loosen joints; consider disassembling and reassembling the specific joint if needed.
• Model Instability: Re-examine the leg and foot positioning. Ensure the mecha's weight is evenly distributed and that its feet are flat on the surface.
