Hi i just got a figure off ebay. It has a strong cigarette smell to it. My son and I cant stand cigarette smell because of our allergies. Does anyone know how to get the smell to go away? I tried palmolive dish soap. It didnt work after a little bit the smell came back. Does anyone know what does work? Please let me know. Thanks.

You need to sit your figure down and tell him/her that smoking will stunt their growth
Alternatively you could buy E28 Bray Wyatt to scare the be-jesus out of it to stop

I think the trick someone mentioned a while back was wrapping the figure in dryer sheets and letting it sit there for a little while. It should probably get rid of the smell permanently or at least reduce it. Not sure though I've never had a figure that smells like smoke.

Yes seal them in a plastic bag with a dryer sheet for a week.

I have had to do what PJ suggested with figures that I got from eBay that claimed to be "from a smoke-free home" and it does work.

Wash it in warm water with a light soap, and then dry it off and spray it down with Febreze. I have done this many times and it has never damaged a figure.

If the seller didn't say "I smoke" or something like that, you should leave him a scathing review. Seriously. Smokers need to know their habit is far from unnoticed by others, whether you're allergic or not. If you smoke in your house, EVERYTHING smells like it. And I feel, personally, if you are selling stuff online it's your duty to tell people that your product comes from a smoker's home. If he DID say so, then it's your fault, but I doubt it.

I hate that stuff. What a lame deal. People who smoke inside where it effects others are very selfsih people. I get its a bad habit, but take it outside dude. This would piss me off to no end, hope what PJ says works bro.

I used to live with people who smoked. I actually moved due to this. everything from my clothes to my blankets and pillow to stuff I sold on ebay started smelling like smoke. I dint realize it smelled as I had become used to it. but after ONE person said something. I knew it was time to move out. Funny thing is THEY think I'm the weird one and that its ridiculous that it bothered me. all smokers are like this. they think YOU should make concessions for their smoke filling the room. FRIKIN HATE CIGARETTE SMOKE!
unfortuantley, I've had the same exact issue with my brother wearing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much AXE. my magazines, clothes, figurtes, eveything started smelling like axe. Once again, I was the weirdo and it was ridiculous it bothered me. FRKIN HATE AXE COLOGNE!

I bought a Monster Patrol collectible and it smelled strong of smoke, what I did was let it air out in front of an AC unit.
