Setup: Assembly Instructions
This model kit features a user-friendly, tool-free snap-fit build. All parts are pre-painted and color-separated, meaning no glue, paint, or cutters are required for assembly. Follow these steps to build your Aries Mu figure:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Organize them by type (e.g., body parts, armor, accessories).
- Identify Parts: Refer to the included visual guide in the manual to identify each component and its corresponding location.
- Assemble Core Body: Begin by snapping together the main body sections, such as the torso, waist, and limbs. Ensure each connection clicks securely into place.
- Attach Armor Pieces: Once the core body is assembled, attach the golden armor pieces to the designated areas on the figure's body, arms, and legs.
- Install Head and Hair: Choose your desired face sculpt and hair part (helmeted or unhelmeted) and attach them to the head. Then, connect the head to the body.
- Add Hands and Accessories: Select the desired pair of hands and attach them to the wrist joints. Integrate any special effect parts or accessories like Shaka's rosary as desired.
- Assemble Display Stand: Connect the support arm to the base of the display stand. The figure can then be mounted onto the stand for stable posing.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your BLOKEES Aries Mu figure, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dust from the figure and its accessories. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint or plastic.
- Storage: Store the figure away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can cause discoloration, warping, or degradation of the plastic. Keep the figure in a cool, dry place.
- Handling: Always handle the figure with care. When adjusting articulated joints or swapping parts, apply gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing parts, as this can lead to breakage.
- Display: If displaying the figure for extended periods, periodically check its pose and the stability of the display stand to prevent accidental falls.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Aries Mu model kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Loose Joints: If a joint feels too loose, carefully remove the limb and try to gently widen the peg or tighten the socket using a small amount of clear nail polish or a thin layer of super glue (applied to the peg and allowed to dry completely before reassembly). Test the fit frequently.
- Stiff Joints: If a joint is too stiff, do not force it. Gently warm the joint area with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds to soften the plastic, then carefully attempt to move it.
- Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the instruction manual to ensure you are attempting to connect the correct parts in the correct orientation. Sometimes, a small amount of excess plastic (flash) might be present from the molding process; this can be carefully trimmed with a hobby knife (adult supervision required).
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts are missing or damaged upon opening the box, please contact BLOKEES customer support immediately with your purchase details.
