Часто задаваемые вопросы
Is the Türkis Zinn-Roboter Mini Sammlerfigur good for small shelves, display cases, or desk decor?
Yes. The mini tin robot is designed for small displays: it measures 4.8 × 2.5 × 1.7 cm and weighs just 10 g (SKU BS0293-004), so it fits comfortably in vitrines, small shelves, and on desks without crowding the space. It is made of painted tin with hand-painted details and a lacquered surface, giving a defined retro look while remaining compact. This makes it ideal for collectors, retailers arranging dense product displays, or anyone wanting a low-footprint accent piece. Note that the painted finish can be delicate, so keep it indoors and away from high-humidity spots to avoid chipping or tarnishing.
Will the painted tin finish hold up over time and how should I care for it?
The painted tin finish is durable with proper care. The figure is constructed from painted tin with a lacquered surface and hand-painted details, which resist normal dust and light handling, but the finish can chip if rubbed or dropped. Clean it by gently dusting with a soft, dry microfiber or cotton cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or soaking in water. Keep it indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight or moisture to prevent paint fading or metal oxidation. This care routine benefits collectors and display owners who want a long-lasting appearance; however, because each piece is hand-painted, slight variations and minor surface wear are possible over time.
Is this mini robot safe for children to play with?
No. This item is intended as a decorative collector's figure, not a toy. At 4.8 × 2.5 × 1.7 cm and 10 g, the small size presents a potential choking hazard for young children, and the painted tin surface can chip if handled roughly. The figure is immovable and contains no batteries or electronics, but it is best used as a display piece kept out of reach of children. Adults, collectors, and display curators will get the most value from it; if you need a child-safe toy, consider products specifically tested and labeled for play by young children.
How does this tin robot compare to other small decorative figures?
The Türkis Zinn-Roboter differs from many small decorative figures in material, weight, and finish. It is made of painted tin (lacquered) with hand-painted details, giving it a metal feel and retro aesthetic compared with lighter plastic alternatives. Its compact dimensions (4.8 × 2.5 × 1.7 cm) and 10 g weight make it easy to group in displays without adding bulk, while the immovable construction emphasizes form over articulation. This is advantageous for collectors and retailers seeking authentic vintage-style metal pieces, but if you want poseable figures or rugged toys for handling, articulated or plastic options may be more suitable.
Is this mini robot suitable for retailers or collectors who want to resell or display multiples?
Yes. The figure is well suited to retailers and collectors who need compact, consistent display stock. It comes as a single unit (SKU BS0293-004), is lightweight (10 g) and small (4.8 × 2.5 × 1.7 cm), which reduces shipping volume and allows dense shelf or market table presentation. The painted tin and retro design appeal to vintage-themed displays and small gift assortments. Keep in mind that each piece is hand-painted and produced in India, so minor color or brush-mark variations may occur between units; retailers often order a sample first if precise uniformity is essential.
