Acetone eats plastic though.. Tried that on a Joe vehicle and it dissolved the plastic.

How would you do this? I've searched around the Tank and the best suggestions seem to be 70-91-99% rubbing alcohol or easy-off oven cleaner and a toothbrush. Have any of you used those and if so, how were the results?

Just need to strip a head completely for repainting because the factory applied paint is too thick and it destroys the original sculpt's fine details.
Checkout this Video for the Alcohol approach... I never tried it but the guys at Auto Assembly says it works..

This on a q-tip, apply small amount, work slow and in sections. Don't try to do the whole head at once. Helps to have a exacto knife to help scratch away melted paint from crevasses.

I was in Warwick ToysRus from around 12-1. In the Kre-O aisle on the far right they had 4 boxes full of microchangers.

Went to Revere Marshalls last night and they only had a lone Cobra Commander :-( Hopefully I can go hunting for DG Stormy and Retaliation Colton today!

They must have cleared away the boxes quickly then lol. There was 1 box when I was there and about 10 figures. I bought a Singe and Dirge for the parts to complete a custom Hot Rod.

I'm not usually much of a TF collector, do any of you guys have any pics of these single micro changers, so I know what I'm looking at when I do see them. Thanks.

true, but that's why you need to use a lower grade acetone or a mild nail polish remover. Don't submerge anything or use an excessive amount. Alcohol is much better for cleaning. lol I've been customizing for over 5 years, I know what works! ;)

Still, not bad- a lot better than what most people are finding! Has anyone else found more wave 2 than I have? (not bragging, I'm just curious) So far I have:

3x Duke
2x Trooper
1x Shipwreck
1x Cobra Commander
1X Snake Eyes
0x Storm Shadow
