I recently bought some custom card backs, and wanted to transfer my retros to them.
Thought if I soaked the removed bubble (edges where the paper/glue is) in a tub of goo-gone, this may help, but doesn't seem to be doing what I'd like.
Any advice? Would running a blow dryer over the edges dry out/dissolve the glue and remove the bubble clean? Or would the heat possibly damage the figure? Any other ideas?

There's a guy on Facebook (Boz Hasbro) who sells custom bubbles exactly the same as Hasbro and Mattel

There's a guy on Facebook (Boz Hasbro) who sells custom bubbles exactly the same as Hasbro and Mattel I'm aware of his work, nice stuff, but it's not exactly the same. I think the way he does it is melting plastic over the figure right? But, I've got the bubbles already too, so no need for an additional expense. |

Try a metal bristle type scrubbing brush, on the paper glue after application of goo-gone.. just be gentle.

Moving this to the custom sub-board.

Ok, so found some techniques from some of the Star Wars and Hotwheels guys online that may work. FYI, blowdryer not successful lol.
Next question is, I think I know the answer, but both the Mattel Retro and Hasbro cards are "laminated" front and back, yes?
