    Has anyone tried dying a 3 3/4 figure ?

    I was considering dying some of my Hasbro figures. The Indiana Jones figure's particlarlly.
    I wonder Would RIT dye be able to make my white Col. Vogels costume black?

    Side Note: I wasnt satisfied with my last Black dying experiment with Mego limbs. Should have been much darker. I used plenty of salt and dye.

    Rit has changed its formula lately, and I've found it does not work nearly as good on pvc.
    Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

    Hmmmm....

    Dying works good for lighter colours, but plastic doesn't absorb it so good, no matter what kind you use. You'll always get something lighter than normal. 3.5" figures add the problem that they're mjade of differnet types of plastic, so the limbs and body usually absorb at a different rate.

    limbs and body will definitely absorb at a different rate. Also, I have noted fading in colors on the softer vinyl material for arms and legs of Hasbro SW figures.
