6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the figure. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint or plastic.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping. Keep it in a clean, dry environment.
- Handling: Handle the figure with care, especially during transformation, to avoid stressing joints or breaking small parts.
7. Troubleshooting
- Stiff Joints: If a joint feels stiff, gently work it back and forth. Do not force it, as this may cause breakage.
- Parts Not Tabbing: Ensure all previous steps in the conversion process are correctly completed. Sometimes a slight adjustment is needed for tabs to align properly.
