Collecting dolls and plush toys is a wonderful hobby that can bring both joy and nostalgia. To ensure your beloved collectibles retain their value and look fantastic for many years to come, it's important to know how to care for them properly. Here at Robotto, we have a wide range of figures and model kits available, and we are happy to share our best tips for caring for your precious treasures.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Whether you have a soft doll or a more complex figure like Marvel Legends Series Morph, it's important to keep them clean. For soft toys, you can follow the washing instructions on the label. Most plush toys can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. For action figures and model kits, such as our popular HG Gundam Barbatos Lupus 1/144 Model Kit, you can use a soft brush or compressed air spray to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas.
Storage
To prevent damage and fading from sunlight, items should be stored in a dry and dark place. Investing in display cases or shelves with UV-protective glass can be a fantastic solution to both protect and display your collectibles. Also, remember to keep temperature and humidity levels stable, especially if you have rare or delicate items such as the Rg Sinanju MSN-06S 1/144 - Model Kit.
Handling
Always wear gloves when handling your figures and model kits to avoid transferring oils from your hands to the items. If you enjoy building and customizing your figures, it might be a good idea to check out our article on how to make your 30 Minute Missions like a pro, which can give you further insight into how best to handle model kit materials.
