Anyone know how to get ink out of Mattel shirts? Mostly so they don't stain your figure. My milk o mania WCW shirt is staining my Austin. Thanks.

Washing it is the only way I know. Sorry can't be more help. Though as far as the staining on the figure I am sure I read something about soaking the figure in olive oil...or some kind of vegetable oil. Supposed to bring out the stain. Sure someone on here will know more. (sidenote: this is post 666 for me...better go grab a crucifix )

Following. Have met had this issue yet thankfully but I’m sure I will eventually. Good to be prepared.

I remember a review I saw on the DM Ric Flair where the reviewer said the first thing to do with the figure was take off the robe and chuck it away lol

People claim they removed the stains from figures, but I have never seen it successfully done. Once it’s bled into the plastic it’s there. As for the clothing the first thing I do when I get cloth goods is wash them. I put them in a delicates/baby socks laundry bag and put it in the wash with dark clothes/towel so the ink doesn’t mess up the laundry.

While on the topic what has been the worst figure you have had for staining? For me nothing beats E3 Christian.

The only two I've suffered with was Elite 23 JBL, which I bought about 3 years after it came out. It wasn't awful but there's a few noticeable marks The worst one was Elite 46 Rusev, that was brand new and stained as hell straight out of the box
I just put the shirt in warm water for 10 minutes, I've never had any other problems

Lighter fluid and a match does solid. Won't get any stains after, 110% guaranteed.

All of mine are MOC with the exception of a few basics, however, I did see on this board a picture of the Giant Machine Andre and that was the worst that I have seen.

The worst I have ever seen was that E60 giant machine posted a few months back. That was awful. Stains can be removed with oxy spot removal cream. People will say otherwise but it does work. It can be a process to remove the stains but it is worth it. Apply to the stained area then let the figure sit in direct sunlight for a couple hours. Wipe off the cream and u will notice the stain lifting. Keep repeating process until stain is gone. You can find the oxy spot removal cream at 5 below or sometimes dollar tree.

Like others have said you can get a delicates bag and wash them or you can soak them. I hand wash mine with a little liquid detergent and warm water in the sink.
