Quick answer

Pose your Pikmin & Bulborb Nendoroid on a stable, dust-free surface using the included stand, and keep it out of direct sunlight to preserve colors. Handle the figure with clean hands and avoid forcing joints.

Why Nendoroid posing needs a light touch

Nendoroids are designed for gentle posing, but the joints and small parts can be delicate. Forcing a limb past its natural range can loosen the joint or cause stress marks. Always support the figure with one hand while adjusting with the other.

The Pikmin & Bulborb set includes two characters, so balance matters. A stable base prevents tipping, especially if you display the Bulborb in a dynamic pose.

Display spots that protect your figure

Direct sunlight and heat sources can fade paint and warp plastic over time. Choose a shelf away from windows and radiators. A glass cabinet or acrylic case reduces dust and keeps small accessories from getting lost.

If you live in a humid area, avoid displaying near bathrooms or kitchens where steam can affect the figure. Stable room temperature is best.

Step-by-step posing and display routine

  1. Unbox on a clean, soft surface: Prepare a lint-free cloth or tray before opening the box. Remove the figure and accessories gently, keeping small parts in a container. Common mistake: unboxing over a hard floor where dropped pieces can break or vanish. Keep the original box and blister for safe storage or transport.
  2. Attach the stand and test stability: Assemble the included stand according to the instructions. Place the figure on the stand and check that it sits securely without wobbling. Common mistake: forcing the peg into the figure—if it doesn't fit easily, reposition the stand. A stable base prevents accidental falls that can chip paint.
  3. Pose limbs gently within their range: Hold the figure's torso with one hand and move each limb with the other. Stop if you feel resistance. Common mistake: rotating a joint too far—this can twist or loosen the connection. If a joint feels loose after posing, avoid further adjustment and display in a static pose.
  4. Arrange the Bulborb and Pikmin for balance: If displaying both characters together, place the larger Bulborb on a flat surface and position the Pikmin nearby. Use the stand for the Pikmin if it tends to tip. Common mistake: stacking figures without support, which can cause scratches or falls. Leave space between figures to avoid accidental contact when dusting.
  5. Dust regularly with a soft brush: Use a clean, soft makeup brush or compressed air to remove dust weekly. Avoid touching painted areas with bare fingers. Common mistake: using water or cleaning sprays—moisture can damage paint and joints. For stubborn dust, dampen a microfiber cloth with water and dry immediately.
  6. Rotate poses every few months: Change the pose occasionally to prevent joint memory and redistribute stress. Support the figure while repositioning. Common mistake: leaving a limb in an extreme pose for months, which can deform the plastic. Store unused accessories in a labeled bag to keep them together.
