Quick answer
Dust your Hippers figures weekly with a soft brush or microfiber cloth, and store them in a low-humidity, UV-protected display case to keep them looking new.
Why cleaning and storage matter for blind box figures
Blind box figures like the Animal Bakery Minifigure collection have delicate painted details and small parts. Dust buildup can dull the finish, and improper storage can lead to scratches, fading, or warping. Regular care keeps your collection vibrant and intact.
Step-by-step cleaning and storage guide
- Dust weekly with a soft brush: Use a clean, soft-bristled makeup brush or a lens brush to gently sweep dust off the figure. Start from the top and work downward to avoid pushing dust into crevices. Avoid using water or cleaning sprays — moisture can damage paint and loosen small parts.
- Remove stubborn dirt with a dry microfiber cloth: For smudges or fingerprints, lightly buff the area with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not rub hard; use a gentle circular motion to lift the residue. If the dirt doesn't come off, stop and try a slightly damp cloth (barely moist, not wet), then dry immediately.
- Store in a UV-protected display case: Place your Hippers in a cabinet or acrylic case that blocks direct sunlight. UV rays can fade paint and yellow clear parts over time. Keep the display area away from heat vents and windows. Avoid storing in basements or attics where humidity fluctuates — stable room temperature (60-75°F) is best.
- Use silica gel packets for humidity control: Add a few silica gel packets inside your display case to absorb excess moisture. This prevents mold and keeps the figure's surface from becoming tacky or sticky. Replace the packets every 3-6 months, or when they feel saturated. Do not let them touch the figure directly.
- Handle figures by the base or back: When moving a figure, hold it by the base or the back of the head/body to avoid rubbing off paint on protruding parts like ears or tails. Oils from your skin can also dull the finish. Wear cotton gloves if you frequently rearrange your collection — it prevents fingerprints and oil transfer.
