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.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Mega Construx Shadow Company Soldier figure, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust the figure regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic or paint.
- 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.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your figure, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts detach easily (e.g., weapon, magazine) | Loose connection, wear and tear, or improper attachment. | Ensure parts are fully clicked into place. If a connection is consistently loose, a small amount of non-permanent adhesive (e.g., clear nail polish) can be applied to the peg, allowed to dry, and then reattached to create a tighter fit. |
| Figure does not glow in the dark | Insufficient light exposure. | Expose the glow-in-the-dark parts to a strong light source for a longer duration (e.g., 5-10 minutes) before moving to a dark environment. |
| Joints are stiff or difficult to pose | New figure stiffness, or dust/debris in the joint. | Gently work the joint back and forth to loosen it. If necessary, carefully apply a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant (avoid oil-based lubricants) to the joint. |
