Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps for proper assembly of your Alphamon model kit. Refer to the included graphical instructions for detailed part identification and placement.

1. Unboxing and Part Identification: Carefully open the package and lay out all runner frames. Identify each part according to the assembly guide. It is recommended to use a hobby nipper to cleanly remove parts from the runners.
2. Body Assembly: Begin by assembling the core body, including the torso and head. Pay attention to the orientation of joints and connection points.
3. Limb Assembly: Assemble the arms and legs. The Alphamon kit features advanced articulation, so ensure all joints are correctly aligned and move smoothly.

5. Accessory Assembly: Assemble the Divine Sword Grade Alpha and prepare the Digitalize of Soul PET plastic effect sheets. These sheets have a unique arranged design for enhanced visual expression.
6. Sticker Application: Carefully apply the included stickers to the designated areas on the model. Use tweezers for precise placement.

Operating and Posing

The Alphamon Figure-Rise Standard Amplified model kit is designed for extensive articulation, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses.

• Joint Movement: Gently manipulate the joints in the arms, legs, torso, and head to achieve desired poses. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
• Booster and Cape Articulation: The boosters and cape on the back feature multi-axis movable connectors. Adjust these to create dramatic and expressive stances. The booster fins can also be unfolded.
• Accessory Posing: Position the Divine Sword Grade Alpha in the figure's hand. Utilize the Digitalize of Soul effect sheets to enhance action poses.
• Stability: For complex or dynamic poses, consider using a display stand (sold separately) to ensure stability and prevent the figure from falling.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit.

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. For stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause plastic degradation or discoloration.
• Handling: Always handle the model by its main body parts. Avoid gripping small, delicate components or accessories too tightly.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or display, refer to the following common solutions:

• Parts Not Fitting:
  • Ensure the parts are correctly oriented according to the instructions.
  • Check for any excess plastic (nubs) left from the runner. Carefully trim them with a hobby knife or nipper.
  • If a joint is too tight, gently widen the peg hole slightly with a small drill bit or hobby knife. If too loose, apply a thin layer of clear nail polish or super glue to the peg and let it dry completely before reattaching.
• Stickers Peeling/Not Adhering:
  • Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
  • Use tweezers for precise placement and press firmly to remove air bubbles.
  • For better adhesion, a small amount of decal setter solution can be used (follow product instructions).
• Figure Instability:
  • Verify all joints are fully connected and secure.
  • Adjust the pose to distribute weight evenly.
  • Consider purchasing a compatible display stand for more dynamic or stable poses.
