Good choice on the real techniques brush! Those are great value and great quality, super soft! People tend to buy cheaper, brittle brushes which can damage their figures. Great tips as always.
when I first got into figure collecting, I didn't realize just how much work it was going to be 😅 Thank you for sharing your tips!! I think the smallest brush you have is probably a crease brush (for blending out makeup in small areas) 😁
Haha yea, I realized that cleaning once a month is considered lazy by many people's standards 😅 Hopefully the tips helped a little and thanks for answering my question! How often do you end up cleaning your collection?? 🤣
@@DTTCReviews yikes haha then im beyond lazy!! I haven't dusted any of my figures that sit in my detolfs yet and they've been in there for about 4ish months now haha. When I checked them, they don't look dusty at all though 🤔 I dust the nendos I keep on my desk every few days since they can get dusty fast!
@@JoanneOfArc 😆 you might just have a very clean room for them then?? But once every few days for the Nendos is super diligent! I need to up the cleaning routine schedule or get more enclosed displays 🤣
@@DTTCReviews Man it definitely pays off in the results and its also impressive to see the amount of work it takes to upkeep the figures, I used to collect dolls before figures and god I'm not sure it is even possible to take off the dust off of those TwT
I might be the only one that feels this way, but I personally enjoy dusting my figures(probably because I don’t have that many lol). I take them out of their displays, put them on my desk, then I put up some good music while I get busy. To me, it’s the only reason to have some personal time with them other than looking at them and by the end of it, I just feel so satisfied that they are nice and clean 🧼. Gotta show some appreciation amirite? Btw, what gloves did you say you use? I want to buy a pair so that I don’t leave finger prints on my beloved Rems💙
I used to enjoy dusting and cleaning until the collection grew and the figures I got became more intricate 😅 I'm using some white cotton gloves, I'll try to link it in the description. They work amazing for glossy painted areas 😏
I’m late to this lol but if anyone needs brushes, Marshalls and Tj Maxx sell them for pretty cheap (inc the Real Techniques ones). You can probably get a pack for $5-15. I know some fast fashion stores (Forever 21, H&M) also sell cheap brushes, but they’re usually not as soft
Hey, nice video. I have a question: Do you know how to get the transparent base of the figure clean again? After standing around some time, these transparent bases become somewhat murky/dull/unclear and simple water won't fix it. Any advice? Thank you!
Personally I haven't run into this issue but you could try simple dish soap in warm water and use a microfiber cloth? Use a test piece before the base though! 😅😅😅
I wish to ask if there is a optimal place (except not facing the sun/direct light source) to put the figurines. Does humidity (cuz I stay in the really humid Singapore) plays a part or those silicone gel packs help?
Optimally a fully enclosed display case like a Moducase would be your best bet. I've seen some collectors have a wall full of those and a Dyson air purifier inside to keep things proper 😅😅 Having some silica jelly pack would actually work too!
Aww...Man my house sell those All kind of construction tools include steel,concrete,rock,sand cleaning really pain in the ass. do you have any tip if transparent(epoxy) part of figure turn yellow? like your kaido flame effect.
I personally don't know of any methods to return the clear to epoxy. However, I would look into some of the methods that sneakheads use to reverse the yellowing on rubber. That might work if you get the correct solution 😅😅 Good luck in whitening your statue tho! 😄
@@miles6795 try a test piece first. I'd love to hear if this does work tho! Hopefully I won't have to do this but the information would be priceless! 😅
I can’t be the only one being how there’s trillions of flies in this country, but i saw fly poop inside my ikea shelf, and i was just wondering if its removable just in case i do find some on my collection?
What about an actual Cleaner? Anyone know of anything to take smudges or fingerprints off? Id like to not just spray my big figurines with a cleaner lol Any tips? thanks!
@@DTTCReviews it is very useful and i mostly have kuji figures. so when i dust i do it very softly. but i think alot of times its just the glue comes off or something. now i just put expensive ones in a case i got. they are plastic and you can put them together like puzzles. which is very cool. so when i do that they dont get dust on them. and i try to do it once a week at least so i can catch the ones that have some small dust specs.
Makeup brushes huh (looks up Amazon)... BTW I give my figures a shower in the kitchen sink! LOL Thus far this is only for my cheaper prize figures that are displayed in the open - but lukewarm water, handsoap and a soft toothbrush for any grime. Joking aside I bought a 1/4 B-style of Kotobuki Tsumugi that was like 9-10 years old and she was labelled 'Good' on Amazon JP because of "dirt in her hair". She was cheaper than her "as new" competitors (after checking she was not a knock off), I bit the bullet and bought her. Fast fwd a week later, the marks on her hair was some grime that felt err sticky (I don't wanna know) and I used the lukewarm water/soap/toothbrush method (I didn't dunk her in the sink don't worry) - looked brand spanking new, and saved a few bucks! My more recent (and more expensive) figures, however, are in Detolfs and not due for a clean yet...
Not gonna lie, I think my heart stopped for a second there. 😅 I might need to start looking into some figure that have been "well loved" then... Might save me a fortune! How nerve-wracking would it be if you had to clean the fishnets tho??? 🤣🤣
@@DTTCReviews nah… I filled a jug with lukewarm water and a few drops of handsoap. It was a mix of toothbrush and tissue paper action ONLY on her hair. Don’t worry, fishnets all not touched.
@@DTTCReviews my foray into preowned is pretty much due to trying to get stuff which I have missed out as I wasn’t collecting back then. Last month saw me spending a bit on Megahouse BLEACH figures - ones that they don’t make any more. 💴💴💸

Thanks! I didn't want to fork up big bucks on really expensive brushes. They've been a great addition to the routine 😁😁
Great advice. I'm sending you my address to clean my space, thank you.

This was really informative thank you! Cleaning my figures and detolfs are a pain but I gotta keep em clean
Haha I'm glad I could share my way of cleaning 😆 Maybe one day I'll buy or make some dust-proof displays 🤔🤔
The smaller brush is a concealer brush but you can indeed use any smaller brush compared to a blush or face brush! Love your videos! ☺️
I see I see! 😲 Thanks for the clarification and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! 😊
Seriously love your editing and calm aura

My babies deserve it! 🤣 Might be a little overkill...

What if 1 year clean 1 time? Will that be not good?

Solution dust proof the detolf and only dust them twice a year haha...
That's actually galaxy brain 🧠 Might be time to upgrade the Detolf 😅
What about an actual Cleaner? Anyone know of anything to take smudges or fingerprints off? Id like to not just spray my big figurines with a cleaner lol Any tips? thanks!
I'd recommend using a microfiber cloth and breathe on it... 🤣 I personally don't use sprays or cleaners just in case they react badly with the paint 🙃
How often do you clean the brushes and how?
I usually use a little soap and water to clean the brushes every 2-3 uses... 😆
lmao the dark magic, I don't clean mine well enough to trust them not to get eyeshadow onto my figures
Haha that would suck 🤣 Those brushes do work amazing for cleaning tho!
i use the air thing haha. the brush actually damaged my figures more.
It's useful right? 😆 Sorry to hear the brush damaged your figures tho 😢
