BANDAI TAMASHII NATIONS SH Figuarts Son Goku Ultra Instinct Toyotaru Edition Action Figure User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BANDAI TAMASHII NATIONS SH Figuarts Son Goku Ultra Instinct Toyotaru Edition action figure. This highly detailed and articulated collectible figure brings the iconic character from Dragon Ball Super to life. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and care of your figure to ensure its longevity and your enjoyment.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Son Goku Ultra Instinct figure:

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts, including the main figure and any interchangeable accessories, are present.
2. Inspecting Joints: Before posing, gently move each joint to ensure it articulates smoothly. If a joint feels stiff, apply very light pressure and gradually increase movement. Do not force stiff joints.
3. Attaching Interchangeable Parts: The figure may come with interchangeable hands, facial expressions, or other accessories. To attach, align the peg on the accessory with the corresponding hole on the figure. Apply gentle, even pressure until the part is securely in place. To remove, grasp the accessory firmly and pull straight off. Avoid twisting or excessive force.

Operating and Posing

The SH Figuarts line is known for its extensive articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses. Handle the figure with care to prevent damage.

• Joint Movement: Move joints slowly and deliberately. Avoid sudden or forceful movements, especially at extreme angles, to prevent breakage.
• Swapping Parts: When changing hands or faces, always pull parts straight off and push straight on. Twisting can damage the pegs or sockets. If a part is difficult to remove, gently warm the joint area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to soften the plastic, then try again.
• Display: Utilize the figure's articulation to create iconic poses. For long-term display, consider using a display stand (sold separately) to maintain stability and prevent accidental falls.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help preserve the condition and appearance of your figure.

• Cleaning: Dust the figure regularly with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with water (no harsh chemicals) and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint fading or plastic degradation. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
• Handling: Always handle the figure by its main body, avoiding grasping small or delicate parts like antennae or thin limbs, which could break under pressure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your figure, consider the following:

• Stiff Joints: If a joint is too stiff to move, gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds. This can soften the plastic slightly, allowing for easier movement. Do not overheat.
• Loose Joints: For slightly loose joints, a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint tightener can be applied to the peg and allowed to dry. This creates a thin layer that increases friction.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct interchangeable part for the intended socket. Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Do not force parts together, as this can cause breakage.
