4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean your figure, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the paint and plastic.
4.2 Storage
Store the figure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause discoloration. If storing for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs do not light up. | Battery is dead or incorrectly installed. | Check battery polarity. Replace with a new nonstandard battery if necessary. Ensure the LED switch is in the "on" position. |
| Joints are loose or stiff. | Improper assembly or manufacturing variation. | Ensure all ball joints are fully seated. For stiff joints, gently work them back and forth. For excessively loose joints, a small amount of clear nail polish or super glue on the ball joint (let dry completely before reassembly) can add friction. |
| Missing or damaged parts upon unboxing. | Packaging error or transit damage. | Contact BLOKEES customer support immediately with proof of purchase and details of the missing/damaged parts. |
| Figure does not stand stably. | Improper posing or uneven surface. | Adjust the figure's stance to balance its weight. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface. Utilize the included display base for enhanced stability. |
