A Guide to Maintaining the Hirono Echo Series Figures: Cleaning, Storage, and Preservation

To keep your Hirono Echo Series figures looking the way they do now and to retain their value over the years, practicing the right storage and cleaning techniques to guard the figures against the damage they can incur from the storage materials and from the cleaning tools used.

1. Cleaning Hirono Echo Series Figures

Using a brush or cloth made from microfiber, wipe the head to remove the tiny particles of dust. Take a look at the rest of the body. If dust accumulates, use a cloth dipped in water and wipe the soapy water on the areas with dust. The figures will be free of dust now. Use caution when cleaning the figures because using cleaning materials that are not liquid can damage the figures because of their paint. To avoid ruining the figures, do not use materials that will cause a reaction. Before storing the figures in the storage area, make sure they are fully dry.

2. Storage of the Hirono Echo Series Figures

If you do not display the figures, use the original boxes in which the figures are stored.

3. Control Humidity and Temperature

Of all the dangers facing collectible figures, humidity is one of the most serious. Be sure to keep the Hirono Echo Series in an area that is cool, and dry. Temperature should remain stable. You can get silica gel packets to store in the boxes to keep moisture down and protect against mold and paint damage.

4. Prevent Paint Fading and Scratches

Figure colors can fade with UV exposure, so keep figures in an area where they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Use acrylic cases and glass cabinets to protect the figures from dust and scratches that can occur from contact.

These steps can preserve the craftsmanship, quality, and colors of your Hirono Echo Series figures for many years.
