Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Handling: Handle the figure by its main body parts. Avoid pulling or twisting small, delicate parts with excessive force, especially during transformation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Figure parts do not align during transformation. | Ensure all previous steps are completed correctly. Some panels may need to be rotated or folded precisely before others can align. Do not force parts; gently re-adjust. |
| Accessories do not attach securely. | Verify that you are using the correct accessory for the designated port. Ensure the port is clear of debris. Apply gentle pressure until a click is heard or felt. |
| Figure feels loose or unstable in a particular mode. | Check that all locking tabs and panels are fully engaged. Review the transformation steps to ensure no step was missed or partially completed. |
