Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the figure regularly with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Handling: Handle the figure by its main body parts rather than delicate accessories or joints to prevent breakage.
• Storage: Store the model away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Disassembly: If disassembling, do so carefully to avoid stressing plastic parts. Use appropriate tools if necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Loose Joints: If a joint becomes too loose, a thin layer of clear nail polish or hobby cement (applied carefully to the peg, allowed to dry, then reassembled) can increase friction.
• Stiff Joints: If a joint is too stiff, gently twist and rotate it to loosen. Do not force it, as this may cause breakage. Applying a small amount of silicone grease can help.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure all nubs are completely removed. Check the instruction manual to confirm correct part orientation. Do not force parts together.
• Broken Parts: For minor breaks, plastic cement designed for model kits can be used. For significant damage, replacement parts may be available from the manufacturer or third-party suppliers.
