Buy one off ebay, that figure goes for dirt cheap these days. Probably cheaper than buying a bunch of stain removing products. Hell I have one in my classifieds that nobody wants. I did buy it off Ebay...A couple of weeks ago. They are far from dirt cheep. The $40 one I got was the cheapest MOC one there was when taking shipping costs into consideration. Are you in the U.S?

Use the paint remover from Tamiya. Its what I use on some of my figures that have those dark stain marks on the figure body. Works well. You would need to use a paint brush and brush it a few times on the affected spot. Is it potientially hamrful to plastics?

I'm not sure about action figures but whenever I've had any marker stains I usually just get anything with a high alcohol content (aftershave, Lynx/Axe, white spirit) and rub it on the area. Leave it for about 10 seconds and then rub it off. It should go, but if it doesn't repeat the process.

No, Canada. The shipping prices are almost as much as the product itself. That's why then. I've seen the figure itself go for $10. Shipping to Canada is about $6- $8.

You would need to use a paint brush and brush it a few times on the affected spot. Is it potientially hamrful to plastics? Nope. Just use a small amount and brush it on the affected area. It won't ruin the plastic. It is meant for paint removals on acrylic/plastic models..

Well it's opened anyway, so you don't need an moc one. That figure's going loose on ebay for the equivalent of $17 Canadian, and that includes shipping from "Australia" to the UK. I can't imagine the shipping to Canada would be much different? You could end up spending $20 on stain removal products and do more harm than good.

Like said your best bet is jut a simple head switcharoo!
Don't use nail varnish remover, did that to my CS Natalya (brought it and someone has coloured the hair yellow and pink), came bk to it an hour later and it had stripped the whole face bare. *lesson learned*

Have you tried the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? That thing works wonders!

I found a Hasbro Steamboat with the arms and face painted in green marker. Tried everything. Even Magic Clean and orange type product remover. Nothing works. It is now for sale for $1.00 in my display case.

You obviously don't need another MOC. Yeah that $hit really is permanant
