If you love action figure, and you are a collector, you might be wondering what you can do to make them last longer and not wear out. Most of these toys are made of metal and need to be taken care of if they are to last a long time. Here are some of the ways that you can take care of your metal soldier figurines.

These toys need to be kept in a place that will not be dangerous for the children as they will be using them regularly. Keeping toys in a dumping place or exposing them to too much sunlight may cause the toys to age very first. Chemicals will not only corrode the metal, but are also dangerous to children.

If the toys are not well maintained, there is a high chance of the toy being subjected to lead oxidization. This typically takes place when metals that are not of a pure mix. Thus, in turn, the toys will start to oxidize. To prevent this from taking place, ensure you keep the toys in an environment that is sealed and cool.

In the past, lead toys used to oxidize quickly due to poor mix of metals. Current toys are quite durable as they are made up of materials that are of better quality than before. What the manufacturers have done is that they have reduced the amount of lead used to make the toys thus reducing the rate of lead oxidation which lengthens the lifespan of the toys.

Since oxidization is a chemical reaction it does not mean that if one toy begins to oxidize the rest will do the same. It is important to know that oxidization is not something that can be spread to the rest of the dolls. The best way for you to detect some signs of decay is to find out what is causing the reaction which may require you to change the storage.

Make sure where these figurines are stored is free from any moisture and if you are not certain that the place is dry, then it is advisable to wrap the figurines in soft dry tissues to avoid contact with moisture. Make sure that they are not kept in plastic containers as these may have some traces of moisture in them which may cause the figurine to corrode while in storage.

It is tempting when you have these action figures, and you cannot display them. Thus, when showing makes sure that you take the time to dust the soldiers to avoid and trace of dust. Dust will not only make the toy look unkempt but also make it attracts moisture which in turn could lead to oxidization of the metal.

The hands have natural oils which keep the toys safe when playing with them. Therefore, the more the toys are handled, the better. You should enjoy using the toys thoroughly without fear of wearing out because our hands polish the toys and the more you handle them, the more polished they are.
