Okay guys, I need professional assistance.
I've recently bought my first figurine and I just don't know what to do with her. It was sort of a sudden decision, I've wanted a figurine for a long time and this one was made by Good Smile Company which I heard is one of the better ones so I bought her. She wasn't cheap and she doesn't seem to have that black circle to stand on like in the picture, but I'm happy that I have her and all.
Problem is, I have no idea how to keep clean and treat a figurine. Is there a tutorial around for what chemicals should be used to keep figurines clean or how to touch them and stuff? I guess alcohol and a clean cloth would suffice, but I hear that the paint can erode easily if no sufficient attention is paid.
She is still in her box and I think I'd like to keep her like that. It's the best way to keep her safe. Is it normal to have all of your figurines in their original boxes?
