NendoCare Question

So as the title says, I just wanted to ask Nendo owners out there about what precautions you take when handling your Nendos? You might says it's a bit paranoid or over-reacting considering Nendos aren't really that special to make a fuss about... but I feel like I'm doing stuff wrongly. XD I have hands that sweat quite a bit, and I'm thinking that it might eventually damage the matte of the Nendoroid. What I do for now is that I make it a point to wash my hands before handling my Nendo, though in a span of 30 minutes or so, my hands build up unoticable sweat again. This isn't really something I'd care about with Figmas and other figures, but seeing how every matte-finish is important to the Nendo's physical appearance, a spot of gloss that might be caused by hand-sweat is a big deal.

Oh, and another thing. Can the matte of the Nendoroid withstand any type of water? Such as tap/pipe water, or rain water?

    Wearing gloves might help but in the end nothing lasts.
    That's why some people buy up to 3 or more of the same figure. One for playing, one for display and another for permanent preservation.

    sweaty hand should not be a problem unless it get sticky/oily. rather than washing your hand every 30 mins, u can do some routine cleaning on your nendo, just simple cleaning will do. plain running tap water should not be a problem.

    The paintjob on nendoroids are pretty strong so it will take really strong solvents to remove paint on them. Sweat is nothing!

    Yea, I feel your pain since I have a similar problem with sweaty hands so I try not to touch my stuff too often. Wearing gloves only helps for like 2 minutes for me since I'll just sweat more so I only handle my stuff when I know I'll be "dry" for a while.

    forgive me if i asked a stupid question,but if you store a nendoroid in its box and not touch it for like...a long time,will it turn yellow or its colors will start to fade or something?
