Setup and Assembly
No paint, glue, or tools are required for assembly. Each character comes with its own specific instructions for a straightforward building experience.
General Assembly Steps:
- Unpack all components for one character from its box.
- Refer to the detailed instruction sheet provided for that specific character.
- Follow the step-by-step diagrams to connect the parts. Ensure all connections snap securely into place.
- Once assembled, verify that all joints move freely and the figure stands stably.

Specific Character Notes:
- Oscar the Grouch: Oscar includes legs and can stand within his trash can.
- Count von Count: Ensure the cape is positioned correctly for the puppet stick to function.
- Ernie: While posable, some users report Ernie's parts may detach more easily during vigorous play. Handle with care.
- Bert: Bert's design is generally stable.

Operating and Play
These figures are designed for both display and interactive play.
Posability:
Each figure features multiple articulation points allowing for dynamic poses. Gently adjust limbs and joints to achieve desired stances.

Interactive Features:
- Mouth Movement: The figures' mouths can open and close. Note that the head tilts to achieve this effect, rather than a traditional jaw drop.
- Puppet Sticks: Each character includes a puppet stick for enhanced play and display, allowing for a more interactive experience.
- Bernice (Bert's Pigeon): Bernice is designed to perch on various surfaces, including other figures' hands or heads.

Maintenance
Cleaning:
To clean your figures, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the paint or plastic.
Storage:
Store figures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Keep small parts organized to avoid loss.
Troubleshooting
Figure parts detach easily:
- Ensure all parts are securely snapped into place during assembly.
- For figures like Ernie, some joints may be looser. Handle gently during play.
- If a part consistently detaches, check for any obstructions or manufacturing defects.
Figure does not stand stably:
- Adjust the leg and foot positions to find a balanced stance.
- Ensure the figure is on a flat, stable surface.
Missing parts:
- Carefully check all packaging materials.
- If parts are genuinely missing, contact BLOKEES customer support (see Warranty and Support section).
