7. Maintenance et entretien

• Nettoyage: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the figure. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint and plastic.
• Stockage: Conservez la figurine dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des températures extrêmes afin d'éviter toute décoloration ou dégradation du matériau.
• Manutention: Always handle the figure by its main body parts. Avoid excessive force on small or delicate components during posing or transformation.

8. Dépannage

• Raideurs articulaires : If a joint feels too stiff, gently work it back and forth a few times. Do not force it. Applying a very small amount of silicone shock oil (not petroleum-based lubricants) to the joint may help, but proceed with caution.
• Pièces non alignées : During transformation, ensure all previous steps are correctly completed. Check for any misaligned tabs or panels that might be obstructing the next step. Refer to the visual instructions provided with the figure.
• Pièces détachées: If a part becomes loose, inspect it for any damage. For minor looseness, a small amount of clear nail polish or a specialized joint tightener can be applied to the peg or ball joint, allowed to dry, and then reassembled.
