This E.T. statue is mainly for display. You can put it on a shelf, desk, or any place you like to show your love for the movie. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of resin which can break if dropped. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. To clean it, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the hand - painted finish.
