Smoking Figures

[TheJabbaWookie]

I've recently bought a few figures off the same seller. The figures are in fantastic condition. Only one problem, they smell of smoke. I have noticed that the smell has receded from the figures themselves but is lingering on the cloth and Vinyl capes and nets. Any hot tips or do I just have to be patient and hope they fade with time?

Give them a hand wash with lukewarm water and fairy liquid. Dont put the fairy directly onto the cloth. Worked for a few of mine.

Just put the figures in a wet towl and the smoke will go into the wet towl, leave them a week or so... 8)

Ha ha loads of mine smelled of smoke when I got them out the loft. Everyone in my house smoked, pretty rank really. It wore off after a while.

 

[TheJabbaWookie]

Great tips guys, I'll try wiping them down first and then the wet towel if that doesn't work.

 

[Mr-shifter]

Bicarbonate of soda I think. Just put them in a Tupperware pot with the dry bicarbonate and it will suck the smells off.

Stop sniffing them.

Put it in a shoe box or similar and whack in one of these deodorising blocks for a day...

These are used by cannabis growers to eliminate the strong smells, so yeah it's very powerful lol. I tried one of these in my bedroom that smelled musty damp a while back and it completely killed the odour, they don't just cover up smells they actually neutralise them.

Thanks for the link and thanks to the rest of you guys for some good tips. I'll let you know if anything works.

I bought a figure from the same guy Joe bought from (see the other thread) and the figure also had that nice ashtray smell. I haven't done anything to try to remove it, but after a few years the smell just disappeared. Not a trace left of it now. So there's that.

 

[subzero]

Another quick way would be to put them close to a radiator to let the heat draw the smells out.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

You could always start smoking that way the smell would not bother you.

Another more healthy idea get them graded and maybe the smell will be encapsulated within their plastic prison!
