    Mattel emblems

    Has anyone been successful at cleanly removing a cracking Mattel emblem? I want to replace my Green Lantern's emblem. But I'd rather remove it completely than just cover it with a new one as I'd also like to move it up higher on the suit.

    Our GL emblem is almost completely gone from playwear. Not that I advocate making the rest of the jumper look the way ours does, but perhaps a couple of big stretches and some gentle rubbing/cleaning would take it off.

      I'm also interested in this. Apparently the stress of my Superman just standing on my shelf, cause his emblem to crack.

          The Batman emblem just fell off on it's own. I replaced it with a sticker of the same size.

                I was SO frustrated over how my Mattel Superman's emblem was cracking!

                I just removed the suit, then I stretched the fabric in & around the emblem, until I got this funcky, mosaic-looking, fully 'cracked' emblem, then I proceeded to remove what was left with my fingernail! I just gently scratched away 'til it was all gone, like I was scratching off a lottery ticket (it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.)

                Then I just attached my own vinyl sticker, and he never looked better, especially after I replaced that Mattel body with the new 'lighter skin' Castaway body.

                The yellow emblem on the cape was beginning to lift already, so it was a simple matter of just gently peeling it off the rest of the way (I still got the silly thing, too) and put a replacement sticker on there.

                Yeah, my batman emblem came off as well, practically on it's own!

                Almost wished they had used paper stickers instead!
