[sonofred79]

Does anyone know how to get the scent of cigarettes off a figure? Got my last black apocalypse piece and it reeked with the scent..

Did you try dunking it in soapy water?

[sonofred79]

No, I gave it a good wiping with rubbing alcohol though and that didn't work.

Another thing that could work would be to take a santitizing wipe wrap it in for like an hour and then take it out.

yea warm water and dish detergent or tide is the 1st thing that comes to mind. you could also try febreeze but im not sure how well that would work on plastic

or try soaking it in vinager..i know it sounds crazy but its good at taking out smells. and the vinager smell will come off easy

wal mart and sams have a product called odo'ban, try soaking in a dilluted mix. also you can place a carbon air freshner is the room or area where you display yor figs. it will take teh smell away over time. you can get them where your store has moth balls and cedar for closets.

That is one of the hardest smells to get rid of. Place it in a container with cat litter, with a high charcoal content, it $ucks(stupid word filter) out odors...like a cat box.

Ugh, that is terrible. I feel for the kid or collector who had it before. Another trick: put it in a ziplock bag with like twenty scented dryer sheets... if that doesn't absorb it, strip it and repaint You'll do a better job than the stock work!

if you do this just get some active carbon for fish tanks, it will do the same and yu wont have to buy a 20lb box.

Just keep raising the price. He'll eventually get off them.

do this. I got some wolverines in a trade that smelled like cigarettes so bad it was actually making me sick. What I did was put one in one ziplock bag with a dryer sheet and left them in there switching the sheet every few days until the smell was gone

Wait wait, Logan is supposed to smell like beer and cigars, didn't this person know that?!?!

Dryer sheets work marvels to remove all kinds of smells. I learned the trick from handling Game Used football jerseys--though I'd almost rather smell the armpits on those than smoker stench!

I can't stand the smoke smell either!

Me three, I hate smoky figures

Got a few Art Asylum borgs in the mail today, they smell like the rode here on Joe Camel.

I imagine like most figures, the paint is immune to soapy water as long as you don't soak them for 3 weeks, right? First solution I'm thinking of is a bath with a toothbrush...
