OK, now that I have MP's, how do I best care for them?

I already have a display case on order to help keep dust away, but I wondered how often you should move the joints to keep them in good working condition, without them becoming loose.

Also, same idea, how often should you transform your figure, and how often is to much?

I know there are no exact numbers for this stuff but I figured you guys would know way better then me.

Thanks

They'll outlast you, just standing there looking good.

All plastic eventually turns yellow and crumbles.

Just keep that display case out of direct sunlight and use a swiffer duster to occasionally clean them. You don't need to be dusting them constantly, but you can't never do it either because undisturbed dust can cake and become harder to remove from recessed surfaces.

Read them bedtime stories. They like that.

Make sure to have them clean their faceplate before bed as well.

You also want to make sure you're transforming them at least once week to ensure they get the proper amount of exercise.

Dust and Sunlight will kill anything you collect (action figures gaming consoles, etc.), regardless of how good they are claimed to be. Just keep them clean and out of direct sunlight; they'll last forever with good care.

Compressed air cans are pretty good for crevasses

Once a year I bring them outside one by one and use an air compressor (not the can ones cause that would be expensive) on them. Blows any dust on them right off!
