    Removing "Mego Molt"?

    I have a MINT off Card French Spiderman...and He's starting to develop "Mego Molt" on his His Neck, on an otherwise DEAD MINT Head!Does anyone have any tips how to remove it, without damaging the Figure?

    Do you mean the melting from the different kinds of plastic being in contact, or do you mean mold, like the little dark spots? If it's mold, I'd like some help with that too.

      No...it's not Mold. the term we Megoheads use around here refers to little dark spots cause by age, and inferrior Plastic.

          Have you tried using denture cleaner, or is it buried in the vinyl. If it's on the surface I've used that to remove many things, if it's in the rubber it is a different story.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                For my day job I am a project manager for a major restoration company here in the north east, so I get my hands on all sorts of cleaning agents. I've been using this new cleaner/disinfectant from Canada called Benefect on my figures. It's 100% green and non-abrasive.It's cleaned up my collection very well.If you or anyone else here is interested p.m. your mailing info and I would be more than happy to send you a sample........Anderson

                    What are you cleaning with it? Clothing? plastic? stains?

                      As a restoration company the technitions use it on cloth, plastic, wood, glass, ceilings and walls. Over 90% of our business is water or fire related damage so this cleaner cuts through nasty molds and stains as well as gross greasy soot . I like it and seems to work good..........Anderson
