Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Optimus Prime figure, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint and plastic.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping.
- Handling: Handle the figure by its main body parts rather than small, delicate components during transformation to avoid breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during transformation or play, consider the following:
- Difficulty Transforming: Ensure all joints are properly aligned and tabs are disengaged before attempting to move parts. Do not force components. Refer to the visual guide for correct positioning.
- Loose Joints: Over time, some joints may become slightly loose. This is normal with repeated use.
- Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon opening, please contact customer support.
