Quick answer
Keep your wood BE@RBRICK 400% out of direct sunlight and away from humidity. Use a stable, dust-free shelf and handle it only by the base to avoid scratches.
Why wood BE@RBRICKs need special care
Unlike plastic or vinyl figures, the BE@RBRICK KARIMOKU KOKEBURICK WOOD 400% is painted and articulated wood. Wood expands and contracts with moisture changes, and painted surfaces can chip or fade more easily than solid-color plastic. The articulated joints also add stress points if the figure is moved roughly.
The 280 mm (11 inch) height gives it a substantial presence, but also means it can tip if the display surface is uneven or too small. A dedicated, level shelf or case is recommended.
Steps to display your wood BE@RBRICK 400% safely
- Choose a stable, level surface: Place the figure on a flat shelf or display case that can support its weight evenly. Avoid sloped or uneven surfaces where the figure could tip over. Use a non-slip mat or museum putty under the feet for extra security.
- Keep away from direct sunlight: UV rays can fade the painted finish over time. Position the figure at least 3 feet from windows or use UV-filtering glass in your display case. Rotate the figure's position every few months to ensure even light exposure.
- Control humidity and temperature: Wood can warp or crack in very dry or very humid conditions. Aim for 40–60% relative humidity and avoid placing the figure near heaters, air conditioners, or damp basements. A small hygrometer in the display area helps you monitor conditions.
- Dust gently with a soft brush: Use a clean, soft makeup brush or microfiber cloth to remove dust. Never use liquid cleaners or polish, as they can damage the paint or wood finish. Dust once a week to prevent buildup that can scratch the surface.
- Handle by the base only: When moving the figure, always hold it by the base or the lower body. Avoid gripping the head or arms, as the articulated joints can loosen or snap under pressure. If the figure has removable parts, store them separately to reduce stress on the joints.
