>>7986595If you're going to keep them as a desk toy, then they're fine. Regular play will keep them clean and new. Just don't go crazy stretching areas with alot of paint. If you want to display them thats a whole other can of worms. They seem to cling to dust alot if you leave them on a shelf for long periods of time. A quick rinse under the sink fixes them up just fine. Otherwise there's not much to worry about.
