DETAILED STEPS:

1. POSITIONING OF PANTS:

   For an authentic look, ensure the trousers cover both the leg and the top of the shoes.

 

2. HAIR STYLING:

• The rooted hair head sculpt is pre-styled and protected in a special box.
• For minor adjustments, use tweezers or a fine comb.
• For stray strands, a small brush dipped in water. Gel also works wonders.

 

3. BELT ADJUSTMENT: 
   

   Position the belt for desired elasticity and thread the buckle through the braided belt holes. Secure the position as you thread the belt through the waist bottom.

 

4. SECURING THE SWORD: 
   

   Attach the scabbard through the three rings for a secure fit.

 

5. ATTATCHING THE HANDS TO THE CLOAK:

• Remove the hands first.
• Slide thumbs into the robe’s sleeve holes.
• Reattach hands to wrists after positioning.

 

6. TURNING ON STAFF LED LIGHT:

• Connect the LED to the gemstone's lower end.
• After activation, insert it into the Moria Staff top space.
• Note: Handle with care to avoid sticking.

 

7. DISPLAYING THE PIPE WITH THE STAFF

• Use tweezers to thread the staff's rope and secure it with a knot.
• Choose gripped hands for staff insertion and adjust grip for the rope.

 

8. CARING FOR CLOTHING

• Dampen the clothing evenly with a spray bottle.
• Run your hand along the garment folds.
• Let it air dry.
• For the cloak, detach and reattach the head sculpt as needed.
  
  

With these steps, you can ensure that your Gandalf the Grey figure remains in pristine condition, making it a centrepiece in your collection for years to come. Remember, proper care ensures longevity and value.
