Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your action figure:
- Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the paint or plastic.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping.
- Handling: Handle all joints and moving parts gently during transformation to prevent breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your figure:
- Stiff Joints: If joints are stiff, apply gentle, consistent pressure. Do not force movement, as this can cause damage. Some joints may require a few transformations to loosen slightly.
- Transformation Difficulties: Refer to the visual instructions provided with the product for detailed step-by-step guidance. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before attempting to complete a transformation step.
