Hey everyone, hope this is the right place to post this, but today I was trying to fix my E40 Cena's broken armband and some excess glue leaked out and has spilled over Cena's torso. I scrubbed it with hot water and soap and it seemed to be okay so I left it. I just came to double check it was okay but it's got some white residue from the glue left on it. Has anyone got any tips for removing this? Would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

the only thing I could think of is try heating the area with a hairdryer and wipe it away with goo gone/goo off/etc.
hope it helps

The only thing that will remove superglue from plastics is acetone/nail polish remover. Just be warned that using it on a harder plastic like the torso COULD damage the torso as well. Ive never tried it on superglue but use clear fingernail polish. Brush it on the glue and wipe it off with a wet rag. I dont know if it would remove it or not but Ive been table to take off logos from hard plastic this way without damaging the plastic.

I would just sand it off with fine sandpaper. Then if you have to, use some sealer to match the finish of the plastic (semi-gloss probably). Or just keep using finer and finer sandpaper to polish it to the right finish.
I think going at it with acetone is just going to make the hazing problem worse. But either way, let us know how it goes, it's useful info.

nail polish remover on a q-tip works just be careful. Goof off can leave the figure looking white so be carefullest.
