To use this Captain America action figure, you can easily swap the optional hand parts and the helmet - free head to pose him in different ways. You can hold the gun in his hands or let him carry the shield. When using the effect piece, place it near the shield to simulate the ricochet effect. As for maintenance, keep the figure away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent any damage to the paint or plastic. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Be careful when changing the parts to avoid breaking them.
