Megami Device WiSM Sniper/Grapple Care: Cleaning & Maintenance

Quick answer

Clean your WiSM Sniper/Grapple kit gently with a soft brush and lukewarm water, dry it fully, and store it with face plates and small weapons in a compartmented case. Handle joints and pre-painted parts sparingly to avoid stress marks and paint wear.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Dust with a soft brush: Use a clean, dry makeup brush or soft toothbrush to sweep dust from armor seams and joints. Avoid compressed air, which can force dust into tight gaps and stress small parts. Check joints for grit before posing.
2. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth: Dampen a microfiber cloth with lukewarm water and wring it out well. Wipe plastic and pre-painted face parts gently; do not use alcohol, acetone, or household cleaners, which can cloud plastic or lift paint. Test any cleaner on a hidden area first.
3. Dry completely before reassembly: Let parts air-dry on a clean towel for at least an hour, or pat dry with a microfiber cloth. Never assemble while damp; trapped moisture can encourage mold in storage and weaken friction joints. Confirm no water remains in hollow armor sections.
4. Handle joints and pre-painted parts with care: Support the body when swapping between Busou Mode and Sotai Mode. Pull joints straight apart rather than twisting, and avoid touching painted face parts with bare fingers to reduce oil transfer. If a joint feels tight, ease it apart slowly rather than forcing it.
5. Store face plates and small weapons separately: Keep the 3 pre-painted face parts in a small compartmented box or bag, and store handguns, knives, and shovels in a separate tray. Loose metal-looking parts can scratch face plates if they rub together. Label compartments so you can find parts quickly.
6. Display away from heat and direct sun: Keep the kit on a shelf out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or windows. UV and heat can warp plastic and fade paint over time. Rotate the pose every few months to avoid joint memory.
