Re: Cleaning Your Figures

Q-tips seriously work wonders, and I also use those moist towels from Kleenex called Splash 'n' Go, they're awesome. My TFA stuff is displayed right next to my computer desk and they get dusty after two weeks. >_<

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

Mine don't tend to need cleaning, they don't really sit in one place enough to collect any significant amount of dust

The shelves on the other hand? Hoo boy

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

My figures never usually get dirty since I always put them in a display case. I use a kleenex piece to wipe any dust off them.

On another note, what can I use to get rid of any rusting on a MP5 Megatron figure?

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I have far too many to keep clean regularly... and I have no time to clean as I am usually fairly busy. I have a hard enough time keeping the house clean (don't worry, I do that )

I dread the day I have to clean all of my TF's... they have SO much heavy dust on them. Dread dread dread...

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I just use one of those compressed canned dust blower. On my clumsy hands any physical contact to the action figures may potentially damaged them...

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

Decepticons!!! Retreat!!! I find that the swiffer 360 duster works well. Good luck with the cleaning.

White vinegar, microfiber cloth and lots of elbow grease. And put a coat of clear paint afterward, so it doesn't happen again
