Colored Resin Garage Kit Care: Handling a 1/7 Scale Figure

Start with the kit's own handling notes

A colored resin garage kit is not a pre-built figure. The Tsushima Yoshiko CharaGumin kit is supplied as colored resin parts that you assemble yourself, and the catalog asks you to read the instruction manual before you start. That manual is the first place to check for handling and care details, because the supplied product information does not list every step.

The catalog also warns that the model may contain pointed parts for faithful reproduction, so treat every part as something that can catch on skin, cloth, or a shelf. The kit is intended for collectors 15 years and older and carries a choking hazard warning for small parts. Keep loose parts away from young children and pets while you work.

What the catalog confirms about this kit

• Love Live! Sunshine!! - Tsushima Yoshiko 1/7 Scale - Colored Resin Garage Kit: This item is a color resin kit for assembly. Care starts before assembly: store and handle the parts as an unfinished resin kit, not as a finished display figure.

  

• Love Live! Sunshine!! - Tsushima Yoshiko 1/7 Scale - Colored Resin Garage Kit: This item is intended for collectors 15 years and older. Set a clear age boundary for anyone who shares your workspace or display area.
• Love Live! Sunshine!! - Tsushima Yoshiko 1/7 Scale - Colored Resin Garage Kit: The item pictured is a full-painted sample, and the actual product may differ. Do not treat the sample photo as a care reference for a painted finish; your assembled kit may look different.

A safe handling routine for assembly and after

The supplied information supports a cautious routine rather than a detailed finishing procedure. Use these checkpoints around the steps you already follow.

1. Read the instruction manual first: The catalog explicitly asks you to read through the instruction manual before assembling. Follow that manual for assembly order and any care notes it contains.
2. Keep small parts contained: Because the kit carries a choking hazard warning, work over a tray or container so small parts do not roll away or end up within reach of children and pets.
3. Handle pointed parts deliberately: The catalog notes the model may contain pointed parts. Pick up parts by stable areas rather than by thin or pointed details, and keep them away from fabric that can snag.
4. Check the assembled figure before display: Once assembled, look over the figure for loose or pointed areas before placing it on a shelf. The supplied information does not list specific tightening or repair steps, so consult the manual for anything beyond a visual check.

Dusting and cleaning without guessing

The supplied product record does not include cleaning agents, washing instructions, or solvent recommendations for this colored resin kit. That absence is a decision limitation, not a suggestion to experiment. Start with the gentlest approach: a soft dry method such as a clean, soft brush or a light dusting cloth, used without pressure on pointed details.

Avoid reaching for household cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive cloths unless the instruction manual specifically approves them. Because the kit is made of colored resin and the pictured sample is fully painted, the finish on your assembled piece may not match the sample, and an unlisted cleaner could affect it in ways the catalog does not describe. When in doubt, stop and check the manual.

Storage that protects the pose and the points

The Yoshiko kit is posed with her signature sideways peace sign, which means outstretched details are part of the display. Storage should account for that shape.

• Give the figure its own space: Avoid pressing the figure against other objects or the back of a shelf, especially around the extended arm and hand.
• Keep parts and tools together: If the kit is not yet assembled, store the resin parts and the instruction manual together so small pieces are not separated from the guidance for them.
• Limit handling after display: The catalog's pointed-part warning applies to the finished figure too. Move it by stable sections and put it back in the same protected spot rather than passing it around.
• Plan for the sample-photo difference: Since the pictured item is a full-painted sample and the actual product may differ, judge your own assembled kit by its own finish and the manual, not by the promotional image.
