How to remove a scuff on toy

Anyone know the best way to remove a scuff on a Twim bomberkid? It's a red scuff on the nose so would like to get rid of it.

 

magic eraser may work. you may want to test it out and make sure it doesn't mess anything up first (maybe on the bottom of the foot or something)

 

Thanks i'll try it, I have these at work.

 

saliva and your t shirt .... works for me usually. but if it doesnt, try a lil bit of rubbing alcohol, i used to use that on some of my action figures that get scuffed, though im not sure how it will work on vinyl. im sure it will be fine as long as the area is in unpainted

.... and does magic eraser really work? i always thought it was somewhat of a really really really fine sandpaper and uses abrasion to do the 'clean up'. i was always afraid to use it because i thought it would do more damage than fixing

 

Or try a little spit w/ a white premium vinyl eraser. This is what draftsmen used to clean up ink on mylar drawings. Plus, the eraser vinyl is softer than the toy vinyl.

 

Googone

 

I don't know what it's made of but I always use it and it's always worked...

Now to find a way to glue back broken vinyl...

 

True. I've used it on both painted and unpainted vinyl without any issues, and it works great.

 

Just don't rub too much, it will take off paint.

 

the magic eraser seems to dull the vinyl, both naked and painted, when i've tried it. i've also used it to remove scuffs from my walls, but it took the paint right down to the bare drywall. maybe too much elbow grease i believe it is a melamine based micro abrasive, so take cautions before going nuts on your prized possessions.

 

I would try Novus Plastic Polish; I have used it successfully on plastic and vinyl. If the scuff is too big, it probably won't help it, but the stuff is great for cleaning figures and removing small scratches.
I agree with Ultra999 that magic eraser, in this case, would be too abrasive.

So I used a magic eraser and it worked great. The bomber ended up having scuffs on the hat that came off fine also. Thanks for all the advice guys.

 

i've used Goof Off, but it's basically a paint thinner, so if the scuff is on a part that's unpainted, then game on. Otherwise it will take the paint off.

 

would the magic eraser or goo off work on an all GID (not painted) toy?

noticed a scuff on one of mine.

 

I've used Goof Off to take the paint completely off toys before, so yea it should do the trick.

 

agreed. i still live by the magic eraser when cleaning up toys, but there is definitely a stop point in scrubbing. all of my remco warrior beasts cleaned up nicely by using a magic eraser. but my kraven apparently had frequent chest stabbings via black magic marker during playtime by its previous owner. took a little longer with the scrubbing, and some of the yellow chest paint started wearing away.

 

Gorilla glue epoxy and a q tip, works like a dream and still has some flex on it when dried. Fixed a broken thumb on a SB figure that was white three years ago, the glue hasn't discolored at all and I even put some on the outside, you would never know it was repaired.
