Thanks! Getting them wet or even damp won't encourage any damage? The problem is that here we have really humid weather, so the challenge has been to keep them dry. I had to pay through the nose for a humidity controlled cabinet where only my most expensive and/ or favourite figures go. Do you find that making them damp encourages dust to adhere to them?

Thanks Doubledealer25. Does the handy tac adhere to the plastic and in any way make them sticky when you want to rotate figures?
One of my huge issues is the dust. I'm not sure if we're more dusty than in the States or other places in the West, but dust plus humidity don't mix well at all.

the handy tac does not make the figure sticky or hinders the transformation and comes off easily. as for dust i recommend air in a can aka key board duster.

The paper towel is damp damp, no real water at all. I use it to get in those tiny spots a swiffer can't. And it's so damp, that no damage is done. I just do it to swipe the dust away. I even used a damped Q-tip on my PVC Starscream.
