So I bought some loose figures off someone on eBay, and I received them today, and they are all in great shape except.... they all smell like a frickin ASHTRAY.
The seller apparently chain smokes a carton of ciggarettes a day, because Holy God, I feel like I just second hand smoked a pack of Marlboro Reds simply by opening the package up. Anyway, it's QUITE disgusting, and I was wondering if you guys know a good way to disinfect nasty cancer stick smoke off loose figures (without damaging the figures of course). I'm thinking about making a "Car Air Freshener Sandwich" with the loose figs as the meat. Any other suggestions? |

Start by washing them in soapy hot water. Then put them in a Rubbermaid tub with some dryer sheets (like Bounce) and let them sit for a while (in the garage). Then let them sit outside under a towel (no sun damage) damp with Smells Be Gone on it. I think that should do it. That is a modification of what I did to some ML figs with the same issue. It may take a while, but they should get clean. This advice will cost you 1 figure... LOL.

Yeah I had a couple of ROC figs that I needed to put in a zip lock with with dryer sheets. I had to let them sit for two weeks, switch out the dryer sheets and sit for two more weeks before the smell came off. Drew's way might be faster, lol.

I have had this cigarette issue too, I sent some vehciles back because it was so bad it made me sick...I hate when you find a great deal and it is not labled as "smoker product" and end up with that awful stuff. No offense to smokers but DAMN...

I think I finally got my share of Stingers, Artic Tanks and Flak Cannons. I would like 2 more Skyhawks BUT... I don't need them right now. I have the OK to go to Wizard-Con in Austin on the the 13th in Austin. Anyone thinking about going and seeing what they got to offer down South??
