An online friend recently received a TBLeague Seamless "King Tut" figure as a gift, and he would like to display the figure in a glass case along with other Egyptian-themed items. After looking through the instructions that came with the figure, he noticed the cautionary warning about leaving the figure in one position "for an extended period."
The pose he has in mind is a crossed arms pose while seated on a throne, necessitating sharply bent elbows, hips, and knees.
Here is a repost of his initial query:
Okay, so I only have one "seamless" and am really in no hurry to acquire any more but mine came with instructions NOT to leave the body in any "dynamic" pose for more than two days!
Question for all owners of such.
Do you bother to change the poses of your figures that frequently or not?
The brochure with mine seems to suggest the silicone will split or some such catastrophe.
Does this happen?
If the thing is going to be that temperamental, I am leaning more and more towards changing out the body on my figure for a conventionally articulated one. The articulations would be fully covered by the clothing anyway and it could be left on display indefinitely without damage.
Members here at OSF have more experience with this sort of thing than do members of the site at which he posed his question. I am reposting his query with permission, and will forward any helpful responses.
Thanx!
