so dirty....

[imthebestatwhatido]

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which is the prefered way to clean your statues of dust. I just got my Sideshow Premium Format Ex. Thing in today and it is dusty as you know what. I mean the shorts are even grungy! any help would be appreciated. (By the way unless you own a hulk PF or Thing you cannot truly appreciate how big these pieces are!)

Wipe fully sculpted statue with a wet towel; but air blow on Pf's fabric/leather/etc. PF are much harder to clean. I suppose I can strip the Hulk PF's pants off and wash/dry or dry clean it. But its not meant to be wash regularly and thus the color might fade.

use a art brush and/or compressed air. usually that does the trick but if its super dusty a gentle amount of water on a cloth.

Dip them in formaldehyde.

No as long as it's water and not oil base, it should be fine.

This is what I use. Make-up brush on the faces and the more delicate areas (hands, etc) and compressed air on the rest.

Just get an air purifier with Ionizer feature. The amount of dust it collects is amazing.

For PF's:

On the polystone parts - I hit it with the can-air, then a go-over with the microfiber rag.

On the cloth parts - hit it with the can-air, the gently go over it with a lint roller (just tear off a square and "pad" the dusty parts).

The lint rollers work wonders

Lint roller? One of em sticky roller you use on dark/black clothing to get ride of the dust, dandruff, etc?

Excellent idea. I bought one but haven't have a chance to use it for awhile.

Yep, that's it - Works like a champ for me

you are so wrong

This is the method I prefer, on hair a soft damp cloth and air blow with compressed air.

I usually just use compressed air. I might have to invest in a soft tip make up brush now...
