Quick Answer

To unbox and set up your HELLO! GOOD SMILE Alice figure, carefully open the box, inspect the parts, and position the figure on a stable surface.

Why Careful Unboxing Matters

The HELLO! GOOD SMILE series uses a simple joint in the neck for left-right movement. While durable, the joint can be stressed if you force it too far. Taking your time prevents accidental damage and keeps the figure in display-ready condition.

Unboxing and Setup Steps

  1. Open the Box: Carefully cut the tape on the outer box using a box cutter or scissors. Lift the lid and remove the plastic blister tray containing the figure and any accessories. Common mistake: cutting too deep and scratching the figure. Use a gentle hand.
  2. Inspect the Contents: Check the figure, base, and any included parts against the box art. The HELLO! GOOD SMILE Alice figure typically comes with a display base and a small accessory, such as a weapon or prop. If any piece is missing, contact Good Smile US support immediately.
  3. Remove Protective Film: Peel off any clear plastic film covering the figure's painted surfaces, especially on the hair and clothing. Use tweezers for small areas to avoid scratching the paint. The film is often invisible; run a fingernail gently over glossy parts to detect it.
  4. Attach the Base: Align the peg on the base with the hole under Alice's feet. Press down firmly but slowly until it clicks into place. The figure should stand upright without wobbling. If the peg doesn't fit, do not force it—check for debris or misalignment.
  5. Adjust the Head Joint: Gently tilt Alice's head left or right using the neck joint. Do not rotate beyond the natural stop—the joint is designed for subtle expression changes, not full rotation. Over-twisting can loosen the joint permanently.
  6. Position on Display: Place the figure on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and high humidity. A dedicated shelf or display case helps prevent dust buildup and accidental knocks. Avoid placing near heat sources or windows—UV light can fade the paint over time.
