Quick answer

Display your PomPon Studio Kochou Shinobu and Kanawo set on a sturdy, level shelf away from direct sunlight, using a clear acrylic riser to separate the two figures and a soft microfiber cloth for dusting.

Why the set needs special handling

This PomPon Studio set includes two characters with delicate paint details and thin accessories. Shinobu's butterfly motifs and Kanawo's flowing hair can snap if bumped. The set is pre-assembled and ready to ship from the logistic center, so you receive it fully built—meaning you only need to focus on placement, not assembly.

The base is shared, so the figures must stay together. That limits your display options compared to individual statues, but it also creates a dynamic scene that looks best when both figures are clearly visible.

Display setup steps

  1. Inspect the set on arrival: Unbox the statue on a soft, padded surface. Check for loose parts, paint chips, or broken pieces. Since the set is pre-assembled, pay special attention to the connection points between the base and each figure. Do not skip inspection; if you find damage, contact the seller immediately within the return window.
  2. Choose a stable, level surface: Use a shelf or desk that can support at least 5 lbs. The base is flat but not wide, so a slight tilt can cause the set to lean. Place it on a level surface and check with a spirit level if possible. Avoid floating shelves without brackets—they may sag over time and tip the statue.
  3. Position away from heat and light: Direct sunlight will fade the paint on Shinobu's pastel kimono and Kanawo's pink accents. Keep the set at least 3 feet from windows, radiators, and lamps. UV-filtering display cases are ideal if you have one. Even indirect sunlight through a window can cause fading over months.
  4. Use a riser or separate stand: Because the two figures share a base, they can visually overlap. Place a clear acrylic riser under one figure to create depth and make both characters more visible from a front view. Do not use a riser that is taller than the base—it may make the set look unbalanced.
  5. Dust regularly with proper tools: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a compressed air duster to remove dust. Avoid feather dusters that can snag on hair or butterfly wings. Dust once every two weeks to keep the paint finish bright. Never spray any liquid directly on the statue; it can seep into joints and damage the paint.
