Operating the Figures

Posing the Figures

Each figure features 12 points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses. Gently bend and rotate the joints at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, and knees to achieve desired positions. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

Swapping Hands

1. Removal: Gently pull the existing hand straight out from the wrist joint. Do not twist.
2. Attachment: Select a desired interchangeable hand. Align the peg on the new hand with the hole in the wrist joint and push it firmly until it is securely in place.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe figures with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store figures away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Keep small parts in a secure container to avoid loss.
• Soft Goods: The soft goods clothing elements (Minnie's skirt/hat, Mickey's shorts) are not removable and should not be washed. Spot clean gently if necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Loose Joints: If a joint becomes loose, it may be due to repeated posing. Gentle manipulation or a small amount of clear nail polish applied to the joint (allow to dry completely) can sometimes improve tightness.
• Difficulty Swapping Parts: If heads or hands are difficult to swap, ensure they are aligned correctly. Do not force them. Applying slight warmth (e.g., from a hairdryer on a low setting, held at a safe distance) to the joint area for a few seconds can sometimes make the plastic more pliable.
• Figure Instability: Ensure figures are properly seated on their display stands. If standing without a stand, adjust leg and foot positions for optimal balance.
