Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I just cleaned mines today.A majority of them are trapped in a glass shelf,so they don't get cleaned unless I reorganize them.For the toys outside the shelf...I clean them at least once every two or three weeks.

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I use a 'Swiffer" brand duster and Q-tips dipped in water for the tough corners/heads. I usually wait months and months between dustings...considering I display almost 800 in one room, it's almost a full-time job to do it properly...

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

How: Swiffer dusters, and I run my airbrush in air-only mode so that it's essentially compressed air.

Frequency: not often enough, but most of my collection is either behind glass cases, or boxed up, so it's not that big of a deal most of the time.

but off the display shelf,i usually just use a shaving brush,the kind that helps work up a good lather.the bristles are nice and soft yet stiff enough to get into small crevices.

I use a small (1 inch wide) paintbrush when I remember.

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I don't5 really clean them unless the really need them. I will try to get the heavy dust off them whenever I pick one out to fiddle with.

Re: Cleaning Your Figures

I store them in a fireproof dust free room and play with them in a bunny like suit.

Anyone clean with brushes and what type?
