5. Operating

The Mega Construx Shadow Company Soldier is designed for posing and display. Its key operational features include:

  • Poseability: The figure is super-poseable, featuring multiple points of articulation. Gently bend and rotate joints (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees) to achieve desired stances. Avoid excessive force to prevent breakage.
  • Glow-in-the-Dark Feature: Certain parts of the figure, including the night vision goggles and gear, are designed to glow in the dark. To activate this feature, expose the figure to a bright light source (natural sunlight or artificial light) for a few minutes. Then, observe the glow in a dark environment. The intensity and duration of the glow depend on the light exposure.
  • Accessory Attachment: The figure's weapon and night vision goggles are detachable. They can be removed and reattached as desired. Ensure they are firmly clicked into place when attached.

  • Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause discoloration or warping of the plastic. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
  • Handling: Handle the figure by its main body whenever possible. Avoid gripping small, delicate parts or accessories too tightly, as they may break or detach.
