CARE & DISPLAY "Each figurine is made of hand cast resin material, a relatively trouble-free material that should be cared for much like porcelain. This figurine should be dusted regularly, using a light touch and soft, clean brush (like a watercolor brush), used only for dusting figurines. If the piece is kept dust free, cleaning is not required. The piece can be wiped gently with a damp cotton ball or soft cloth. Detergents will harm paint and should not be used on the resin. Air dry in a safe place before storage." Each figurine is handled with care and double-boxed in shipping. Note: Original box has shelf wear, but contains figure encased within molded foam block.Certificate of Authenticity Included.
