RECIEVING/UNBOXING -
* Check delivery over thoroughly for visual signs of damage. If possible, give the box a bit of a shake and note any findings on the delivery drivers receipt.
* Check contents as soon as possible.
* Check styrofoam case is sealed shut.
* Place case on a level surface with plenty of space around you. If possible, try and place it on a table top etc to avoid too much bending and stretching as some statues are heavy.
* If damage is suspected, take plenty of unboxing pictures showing any possible reasons for packing failure (ie. Case not sealed, parts not secured with padding/tape).
* Check each item carefully for possible damage/ imperfections.
* On a stable surface, check fit each piece for fitting/tightness/hold etc.
* Does the statue have set up instructions included or had there been a setting up video posted on line? (Well worth checking)
* If practical, keep all packaging.
SETTING UP -
* Is your display space big enough? Take into account width and depth as well as hight, especially if the statue has extra attachments such as wings, weapons, banners etc.
* Ideally the statue should be assembled in its chosen display space if practical.
*Never fully assemble a statue and then try to move it to its desired display space.
* Try not to have young children or pets nearby when assembling statue.
DISPLAYS -
* Avoid displaying in direct sunlight or strong light as it fades paint colours, causes deterioration.
* If using shelf units , be aware of load capacity.
* Try and use sealed units or areas where dust can be minimised.
MOVING/RE-PACKING STATUE -
*If moving statue to a new location, check new location dimensions.
* Remove all attachment pieces and carefully place them away from the statue before attempting to move as fittings/magnets can become loose over time .
* If statue has been on display for a while the base may be stuck to the display surface. If practical, remove statue of base and place away from the display space before gently prising the base loose. Otherwise be mindful of the sudden jolt when the base comes free.
* If re-packing, try and refer to unboxing pictures/videos to ensure parts go in designated areas with supporting padding/wrapping/tape etc.
* After re-packing, carefully place styrofoam case lid on, checking there are no obvious parts of the statue obstructing the lid fitting down flush.
* Tape the styrofoam case shut.
CLEANING -
* Before cleaning, ensure the area you will be using is big enough and clear of possible obstructions.
* Before moving statue, remove all its attachments.
