The figure stands approximately 12.6 inches (32 cm) tall, making it a sixth scale collectible.

What accessories are included with the figure?

The figure typically includes multiple interchangeable hands, a lightsaber with possible effect parts, and a specialized display stand. Specific accessories may vary by release.

Is this figure a toy for children?

No, this is a highly detailed collectible figure intended for adult collectors and display purposes. It contains small parts and delicate components and is not suitable for play.

How should I clean the figure?

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions unless specifically recommended for the material, and always handle with care.

The DX45 model is typically designed with a non-removable helmet to maintain its iconic look. Please refer to specific product details for any exceptions.

What is the material of the figure?

Troubleshooting

Figure joint is stiff or difficult to move

Gently warm the joint with a hairdryer on a low setting for a few seconds. Then, slowly and carefully attempt to move the joint. Avoid forcing it.

Accessory attachment is loose

Ensure the correct accessory hand is being used. If the peg is loose, a tiny amount of museum putty or a very thin layer of clear glue (use with extreme caution) might help secure it, but this is often irreversible.

Cape does not drape correctly

The cape is often wired. Gently bend and shape the wire within the cape to achieve the desired flow and drape. Refer to product images for guidance.

Paint scuff on costume or armor

For minor scuffs, try gently cleaning with a slightly damp cloth. For more significant issues, consult with experienced collectors or professional restoration services. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
