Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Optimus Prime figure, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the figure and its accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause discoloration or warping of plastic.
- Joint Care: If joints become stiff, gently work them back and forth. If they are too loose, a small amount of clear nail polish or a similar friction-enhancing liquid can be applied to the joint peg and allowed to dry before reassembly.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Optimus Prime figure, consider the following common solutions:
- Transformation Difficulties: Ensure you are following the transformation steps precisely as outlined in the included visual instructions. Some steps may require specific angles or sequences. Do not force parts.
- Parts Not Aligning: Double-check that all previous steps in the transformation are correctly completed and that tabs are fully inserted into their corresponding slots. Sometimes a slight adjustment can resolve alignment issues.
- Loose Joints: Refer to the 'Joint Care' section under Maintenance for tips on tightening loose joints.
- Missing Accessories: Verify all packaging materials have been thoroughly checked. If an accessory is genuinely missing from a new product, contact customer support.
