Troubleshooting
Doll is difficult to pose
Gently warm the joints slightly with your hands or a hairdryer on a low setting (held at a safe distance) to make them more flexible. Ensure you are moving the joints within their intended range to avoid damage.
Paint or costume details are smudged
Use a dry, soft cloth to gently dab the affected area. For stubborn smudges on non-painted surfaces, a slightly damp cloth might be used with extreme care, but avoid rubbing.
Packaging has minor damage
As the packaging is designed for display, minor imperfections may occur during shipping. For collectible purposes, consider purchasing replacement packaging if available or displaying the doll outside the box.
