AZUR LANE ILLUSTRIOUS Endless Tea Party Figure: Display Guide

Quick answer

Display your AZUR LANE ILLUSTRIOUS figure on a stable, dust-free shelf away from direct sunlight, and clean it gently with a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Handle it by the base or solid parts, not delicate details, to avoid damage.

Step-by-step display and care routine

1. Unbox in a clean, clear area: Prepare a soft, clean cloth or a padded surface before opening the box. Remove the figure and all accessories gently, and keep the original packaging for storage or future moves. Common mistake: unboxing over a hard floor where dropped parts can break. Check for any loose parts or paint imperfections immediately after unboxing.
2. Assemble on a stable surface: Attach any optional parts (like teacups or effects) according to the instructions. Place the figure on its base on a flat, level shelf. Press down firmly but gently to ensure it sits flush. Common mistake: forcing parts that don't fit—if something feels tight, check alignment rather than using force. Test the stability by gently nudging the shelf; the figure should not wobble.
3. Choose a display location away from sunlight and heat: Pick a spot that receives indirect light only. Avoid windowsills, near radiators, or above electronics. If using a display case, ensure it has ventilation to prevent heat buildup. Common mistake: placing the figure in direct sun for a few hours a day, which can cause gradual fading. Consider UV-filtering film on nearby windows if sunlight is unavoidable.
4. Dust weekly with gentle tools: Use a soft makeup brush or a microfiber cloth to lightly sweep dust from the figure. For hard-to-reach areas, use a camera lens blower or a soft brush. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive cloths. Common mistake: using a feather duster that can scratch or a vacuum with brush attachment that may catch on delicate parts. Dust from top to bottom so debris doesn't fall onto clean areas.
5. Handle with clean hands and support the base: When moving the figure, always lift it by the base or the most solid part of the body. Avoid gripping thin accessories like fingers or teacups. Wash and dry your hands before handling to prevent oils transferring to the paint. Common mistake: picking up the figure by an outstretched arm or delicate hair piece. If you need to reposition, remove loose accessories first to avoid dropping them.
6. Store safely if rotating your display: If you take the figure off display, place it back in its original box with all packaging materials. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the box. Common mistake: storing the figure loose in a bag or wrapped in newspaper, which can cause scratches or chemical transfer. Label the box with the figure's name and date for easy identification later.
