Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Hoptimist Bumble requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. Simply place it on a stable surface away from the edge to prevent falls.

Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could scratch the smooth plastic and metal finish. Keep the figure in a climate-controlled environment to ensure the tension of the internal spring remains consistent over time.
