Thank you @Gipetto0812 - this is incredibly helpful! The quality of these statues/figures/collectibles is in a really neat place right now and I collect mostly 1/6th, but started moving into 1/3 mixed media statues (like P1 Ripley and P1 Paul Atreides). Once I saw how good this T800 (and the coming T1000) are, I had to truly consider these works of art for my collection. I am so thrilled that they are offering these--the killer part is which stage of the T800 do I want? I want the hair, but the fully damaged face with the glowing eye are simply the chefs kiss.Others might have alternative ways of keeping their stuff clean but this is my approach and I haven't had any issues.
- You definitely want a soft brush (like a make up brush) and compressed air to dust it off every so often if you don't have an enclosed display case/shelving. I prefer the soft brush approach myself
- The "rooted" hair here is a bit different than what JND is doing. JND is doing actually rooted hair, meaning the hair is punched into the silicone head. For this Blitzway piece, much like what you might see in custom 1/6 figures and what InArt is doing onth eir 1/6 figures, the "rooted" hair is glued on the resin or plastic sculpt. I haven't had any issue with dusting my "rooted" sculpts but they're in a sealed glass display. Light sprays of compressed air on something this size should be ok. Or again, lightly using a soft bristle brush like that of a make up brush.
- For the leather at this and smaller scales, I tend to apply some Meguiar's leather conditioner with a soft-bristle hobby paintbrush and wipe with microfiber cloth.
