2. Setup and Un-nesting Instructions
Your STAX Nesting Dolls arrive nested one inside the other. Follow these steps to carefully un-nest and display your figurines.
- Grip: Place one hand firmly on the top half of the doll and your other hand on the bottom half.
- Position: Bring the doll up to your chest in a parallel position, ensuring a secure grip on both halves.
- Separate: Gently pull both ends into your chest. This action helps to "break" the seal and separate the doll into two halves.
- Open: Carefully pull the top and bottom parts apart. Exercise caution to prevent the smaller dolls inside from falling out.
- Repeat: Continue this process for each subsequent doll until all figurines in the set are un-nested.

3. Operating (Nesting and Display)
To nest the dolls, reverse the un-nesting process. Start with the smallest doll and place it inside the next largest doll. Ensure the halves align properly before gently pushing them together. Continue this until all dolls are nested within the largest figurine.
For display, arrange the dolls as desired. They can be displayed individually, in a nested sequence, or all un-nested to showcase the entire collection.

4. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: To clean the figurines, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the paint and finish.
- Storage: Store the dolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading of the colors.
- Handling: Handle the dolls with care to prevent accidental drops or impacts, which could lead to chipping or breakage.
5. Troubleshooting
- Dolls are difficult to open/close: Ensure the two halves are perfectly aligned before attempting to close them. If they are stiff, gently twist while pulling/pushing. Avoid forcing them.
- Paint appears faded: This can occur from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the dolls in a shaded area to preserve their vibrant colors.
- Dolls fall over easily: Ensure they are placed on a flat, stable surface. The dolls are designed to stand upright when properly nested or placed on their base.
