Smokey Figures
 
Hey all

I recently bought some figures on eBay and they smell like they from a smokers house. Does anyone have any tips on how to get rid of or reduce the smoke smell on action figures? I read somewhere that putting it in kitty litter for like a week will help. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

I has this happen a few times. My wife told me to dunk them in vinegar. Then they smelled like Pickled Cigarettes.

I left them in the garage for a fortnight. It helped a lot.

I've heard of people putting a toy in a Ziploc bag with a box of baking soda for a few days.

I'm surprised the vinegar didn't eat through the plastic (or at least damage the paint apps/stickers).

Although a well-ventilated area will do wonders for odors.
