Troubleshooting

Figure joint is stiff

Gently apply warm (not hot) water to the joint for a few moments, then attempt to move it slowly. Avoid forcing the joint.

Accessory won't attach securely

Ensure you are using the correct hand designed for that accessory. Check for any mold flash on the accessory peg or the hand socket and carefully trim if necessary.

Face plate not aligning correctly

Remove the face plate and re-align it with the pegs on the head. Ensure no obstructions are present. Check that you are using the correct top and bottom pieces.

Paint scuffing on articulation points

This can sometimes occur with heavily articulated figures. Handle joints with care during posing. For minor scuffs, a careful touch-up with model paint might be considered by experienced collectors, but proceed with caution.
