First, thanks for all the advice on replacing lower legs on POC figures!
OK...I have a fairly in good shape '85 Nightraven but the stickers are pretty atrocious. I was wondering...could/should I remove the stickers safley without warping/discoloring the body and replace with new stickers? Some of them seem really plastered on there, so I am not even sure if it is something worth trying. Any and all advice is appreciated and thanks in advance, you guys are always spot-on! |

Use WD-40...spray it on the stickers and let it sit there for a few minutes then peel the stickers back. Once they are off, simply use more WD-40 to remove the gunk.
Once you have them all off, remove the WD-40 residue with mild dish soap and then dry. Your Raven will be ready for fresh decals then. |

I recently worked on an old vintage Star Wars shuttle that needed to be cleaned up for paint prep and Goo Gone worked relativity well to loosen up the old stickers & residue but needs to be used liberally, most importantly it did not damage the plastic at all.
You may need to scrape some gunk off so use something that won't scratch the plastic, I found that a plastic spoon worked perfect(the roundy bit that goes in yer yapper).
