Marvel The First Ten Years Avengers Age of Ultron Dark Hulk and Hulkbuster Action Figure Set Instruction Manual

Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the Marvel The First Ten Years Avengers Age of Ultron Dark Hulk and Hulkbuster action figure set. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper handling, display, and maintenance of your figures.

Product Overview

The Marvel The First Ten Years Avengers Age of Ultron Dark Hulk and Hulkbuster action figure set features two highly detailed figures inspired by the 2015 Marvel Studios film, Avengers: Age of Ultron. This set is part of the Hasbro Marvel Legends Series and is designed to recreate the iconic confrontation between Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Tony Stark (Hulkbuster).

• Premium Articulation: Both figures feature multiple points of articulation for dynamic posing.
• Detailed Sculpting: Each figure boasts intricate sculpting and paint applications true to their on-screen appearances.
• Collector's Item: This set is #7 in the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years collection.

Setup

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the figures from their packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or reference if desired.
2. Initial Inspection: Examine both figures for any manufacturing defects or loose parts. Ensure all articulation points move freely. If any joints are stiff, gently warm them with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to loosen them.
3. Accessory Check: Verify that all included accessories (if any) are present and undamaged.

Operating (Posing)

Both the Dark Hulk and Hulkbuster figures are designed with multiple points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses. Exercise care when manipulating joints to prevent damage.

• Joint Movement: Gently bend and rotate joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, and ankles. Avoid forcing joints beyond their natural range of motion.
• Stability: Due to their size and weight, especially the Hulkbuster, ensure figures are placed on a stable surface when posed to prevent tipping.
• Dynamic Poses: Experiment with different stances to recreate action scenes or display them in a static pose.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the figures, gently wipe them 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.
• Storage: Store figures away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Keep them in a dust-free environment.
• Handling: Handle figures by their main body parts rather than small, delicate appendages to avoid breakage.

Troubleshooting

Stiff Joints:

If a joint is too stiff to move, gently apply heat using a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds. This can soften the plastic and allow for easier movement. Do not overheat.

Loose Joints:

For excessively loose joints, a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint-tightening fluid can be applied to the joint and allowed to dry. This creates friction and tightens the joint. Apply sparingly.

Paint Rub/Transfer:

While rare, paint rub can occur with extensive posing. To minimize this, avoid aggressive manipulation of painted surfaces against each other. Minor paint rub can sometimes be carefully touched up with model paint, but this is not recommended for beginners.
