    HELP! I need help to remove dye stains!

    I need some help to remove some dye stains from my DM body.

    The stains are just below the knees, and they come from a pair of hand dyed trousers that it was wearing.

    I had removed the trousers, and discovered the dye stains.

    I think it happened because the top rim of the boots applied pressure to that area, and now the stains are deep.

    I tried using the Mr. Clean Eraser and nail polish remover, but no dice.

    Has anyone else run into this kind of problem?

    What should I use? Hydrogen Peroxide? Removezit? Or just put a pair of jean on him and forget that the stains are there?

    You're going to have to dress the figure & just forget about it--I've had the same problem with vinyl G I Joe limbs.

    The softer plastic absorbs the excess dye & I doubt there's any remedy for it.
    WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

      What if I used nail polish? Or vinyl paint?

        Are you reusing the body for a bare legged custom? If not, just redress it and forget about it. Dye is there to stay.

          No, he's not being used for a bare legged custom.

          I'll just put the jeans on him and forget it.
