Collectibles such as POP figures require a certain amount of care to retain their value and charm. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned collector, we share some expert tips here to keep your figures in absolute top condition.
1. Cleaning and Maintenance
A clean figure is a happy figure. It's important to regularly dust your POP figures with a soft brush or a microfiber cloth to prevent dirt and dust from building up. For a deeper clean, use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe the surface, but be sure to avoid water on detailed areas.

2. Storage
To protect your POP figures from damage, it's important to store them in a place where they are not at risk of falling or being exposed to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. We recommend using display cases or other protective containers for optimal safety.
3. Handling
When handling figures, avoid unnecessary contact and ideally touch the base of the figure. This reduces the risk of details rubbing off or the figure being damaged.
4. Temperature Control
Extreme temperatures can affect the shape and color of your figures, especially if they are made of plastic. Try to keep them in a place with a consistent temperature to avoid such risks.
