Like most, my Zartan just looks seasick all the time, and I was told that: "Since the color change feature is just a layer of paint, an easy fix is to boil the head until the color change paint is brittle, and simply scrape it off."
Well, I tried this last night and it didn't work...how long should I boil it? And what do you use to scrape it off? ANY tips would be most appreciated! Thanks very much! |

I customized a Zartan that I haven't posted pictures of yet, but I used Goof Off remover to remove the green from Zartan's face. I removed the hood, and used a cotton swab to wipe the forehead and cheeks, then dipped a toothpick into the Goof Off to carefully go around the tattos on his face as the Goof Off will remove them as well. It worked pretty good. Warm temperature can change his face to flesh tone, so a quick pop into the freezer for a few seconds will reveal any green missed. Hope this helps.

i dunno if this works or not but i heard it did. Well, dip zartan's face in hot/warm water and keep it there for a somewhat short amount of time. Then take him out and press your thumb on his face for about a minute or so, and see if it comes off.
hope it helps, rikkuluverx2 |

I used 91% alcohol to get that stuff off. Cotton swabbed it and poof, gone.
