Tips on how to keep your Loose Star Wars action figures looking brand new.
By

# 1 Keep action figures out of direct sunlight to slow down discoloration of head, arms, legs ECT.
# 2 cleans hands well before touching your figures. This is a BIG BIG factor in keeping excess oils from getting on the plastic and soaking in.
# 3 cleans your figures annually. I recommend using: equate Astringent Skin Cleaner,
See picture Below. This is the generic brand. The official brand name is Sea Breeze, which is more expensive.
Both brands can be found at Wal*Mart Stores in the health and beauty department. To use Apply to a Q-tip or Cotton ball and rub gently over the whole figure. It will help take most of the Dirt and oils off the figure. I can’t guarantee that this will work on every figure since I don’t own every figure, but it has worked on all of the one’s I own. It really does a great job on all my Clone Troopers.
Here’s a list of all the ingredients that are in the skin cleaner:
Water, Alcohol Denat. (46.5% V/V) Glycerin,
Benzoic Acid, Camphor (0.66%), Clove (Eugenia Caryophyllus)
Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Oil, Fragrance, FD&C Blue #1.
Distributed by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
MADE IN USA.
# 4 Do not store figures in plastic bags since this tends to discolor them Very quick!
It’s best to put them in an old sock or wash cloth and place them in a Rubbermaid tote.
You don’t have to worry much about the darker figures Example: Darth Vader, Wookiees, palpatine ect, Since it doesn’t really show. But it is good to keep the clean and shiny.
If you keep your figures in a Glass display cabinet you probably won’t have to clean them very often, but if you keep them on open shelves like me they tend to get dirty faster.
I hope this helps!! Good luck!
