Ralph told me it happen from humidity as some are hit and miss as I bought alot of Valentines MOC with robes and all had stains so now I only buy if I can see the torso because the longer in the box probably isnt the best thing when their wearing a robe like Mr #1derful , The Genius ect .

I tried it all even low grit sand paper but most dye stains just bleed to deep as I even tried cutting some away as a test and while its easier on hard shoulder joints onces it penetrates the rubber on arms and legs its impossible to remove IMO so I would use Tully as a Display only with the robe on as the head is kinda big anyways .

It's tough. For MOC collectors it looks great in the robe. For loose collectors, not so much. I avoid buying loose because I get burned too often. They smell, or had damage I couldn't see in the picture, or get damaged in transit from being in a padded envelope. I try to buy MOC but then open. That makes staining caused by wearing soft goods in the package a problem.

Yes sir I got so many Hammers MOC maybe 5 and all were stained so I then bought display only on robe items , live and learn PS : OP NOTHING WILL TAKE THOSE STAINS OUT OF THE RUBBER OF THE ARMS AND LEGS ! there porous , not acetone , nail polish remover or even goof off will work ! |
