Just a heads up on removing the paint from New Mego's. I used the Dot 3 Brake Fluid method on a TV Favorites Tootie Sunday afternoon. I soaked the Pelvis and legs to remove the paint from these areas. I left them in for several hours and had no success. So I left them in for a day. The paint on the pelvis began to loosen but the painted on socks did not. I finally checked them today (Wednesday) when I arrived home from work. Today the paint on the pelvis came off easily but then the pelvis has become brittle and crumbled into 3 large pieces. The sock paint refuses to come off. I am going to attempt to glue the pelvis back together and will update either way win or fail. My opinion??? The brake fluid did break down the paint but also chemically weakened the plastic underneath. It also gave the pelvis plastic a milky color. The legs on the other hand are as same as before with just a little milky discoloration in spots.
I may try the "Oven Cleaner Method" on the painted on socks, but I think I will monitor the process more closely.
Stand by for updates...
