So I think I might try to dye my first figure. I am thinking black to go with my DG Cobra trooper figures. I dont own any Cobra Shock troopers so I was hoping to create a close representation with the CCN. Hopefully the camo pattern still shows up but the whole figure is just darker grey.
I watched RatFink's video, is there anything else I should know?

I dyed a RoC Cover Girl and her camo was more or less unaffected other than a green tint (which is what I wanted).
I hear a little acetone in the dye bath helps "open up the pores" so the dye takes a little better. |

I wouldn't, I haven't tried a Retaliation figure yet, but during the making of this year's Coil Con figure, I heard that the new plastic used in the new figures don't jive with Rit Dye. Grab a peg warmer and use him as a lamb at least before you do it with a Combat ninja.

Do you guys feel the DG figs are this same plastic. I have plenty of them I wouldnt mind trying this on.
I agree some wav1 figs and some of the 3pack figs felt more rubber but I felt wav3.5 was more like the older plastic , No ?

I noticed that the figures do feel stronger. The plastic doesn't feel as cheap.
