Quick Answer

Clean your Final Girl miniatures with a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust without damaging paint. Store them in a cool, dry place in a dedicated box or case with foam inserts to prevent scratches and breakage.

Why Proper Care Matters for Your Miniatures

Final Girl miniatures, like those from The Green Terror or Slaughter in the Groves sets, are detailed and painted. Dust, humidity, and rough handling can dull their appearance or cause chips. Regular cleaning and careful storage keep them game-ready and preserve their value, especially if you plan to paint or customize them later.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

  1. Dust with a Soft Brush or Compressed Air: Use a clean, soft makeup brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from crevices. Avoid using cloth, which can snag on raised details. Common mistake: blowing with your mouth can deposit moisture and saliva on the miniature. Checkpoint: If dust remains in deep grooves, use a slightly damp cotton swab and let it dry completely before storing.
  2. Inspect for Damage After Each Game: After playing, look for loose parts, paint chips, or bent pieces. If you find a chip, touch it up with a matching acrylic paint before it worsens. Common mistake: ignoring small chips can lead to larger paint loss over time. Verdict: A quick post-game inspection takes 30 seconds and saves hours of repainting later.
  3. Store in a Dedicated Box with Foam Inserts: Place each miniature in a compartment lined with foam or in a plastic case with individual slots. Keep the box in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Common mistake: stacking miniatures loosely in a drawer causes paint rub and broken weapons or limbs. Next step: For sets like the Series 1 Alternate Killer Minis, label the foam slots so you can quickly find the right killer for your next game.
