Interesting "side effect" of touch up removal using oxy clean
Anyhow - I have a "beater" Han Carbonite Han that I have had for over 20 years - It had goo stuck to him, and i never tried to get it off because I was afraid of removing more paint. Also, Before I got it someone had colored the tips of the shoes with black sharpie to cover up scuffs, so the sharpie was on there for 20+ years.
I decided to throw the Han in some oxyclean and see if it would clean off the goo - Which it did - but after a few hours I pulled it out and noticed the pen was gone too! This excited be because it may be a step in "un-touching up" figures for those who like their collection untouched.
I soaked the figure for about 4 hours -

Joined Dec 17, 2013 Messages 3,092 Reaction score 944 Location hothI tried this as well, did it with a beater snowtrooper.
Also I bought a lot of a dozen figures and someone painted a stormtrooper completely black
I soaked it for a while and used a soft tooth brush in between soaks and the paint came off without harming the original paint.
However, I have heard that oxy clean can harm figures. Again it's hear say, don't have any proof other than the 2 figures I soaked don't look any worse. It's been over a year so
Anyone else hear rumors or facts about using oxy clean

100% sure -This was OBVIOUS that it was scuffs with pen mark - There is even a little texture on the scuffs where they - scuffed.

Oxy Clean in water is *basically* hydrogen Peroxide, more or less.
People use it to whiten figures - And I have heard from people who were early adapters of trying this that yes, over time the figures go yellow again - which makes sense because the yellow is from chemical breakdown, and the peroxide doesnt "stop" that, it just kind of masks it - so the plastic is still breaking down, it just looks prettier.I guess you could loosely compare it to painting over rust - Itll look better, but its still rusting and over time, itll rust through the new paint too -
As for permanent damage, no one really knows - Im inclined to think not, or at least no more damage than the plastic is doing to itself, which is basically slowly self destructing. Im no scientist but from what I have heard, thats just my opinion.

Now last year I posted a method on cleaning figures that I had found on the web.
This guy was soaking his figures, cleaning them with a soft tooth brush (like we all do) but he was using a product called black magic pro shine protectant (kinda like armor all) he would do a good cleaning, let dry, and completely wipe down the figure with the black magic protectant.
Now he claims he spoke with a scientist about the chemical breakdown of the plastics that our figures are made with and the scientist said it wouldn't harm the figure, that basically he was putting the oils the plastic needs back into the figure to help stop the breakdown.

I wonder if this method after the oxy clean wash would stop the yellow from coming back?

Joined Jul 8, 2002 Messages 4,745 Reaction score 4To be honest, I dont know how much good that does -
It probably wouldnt HARM the figures, but I dont know if it would help either. as far as my non-scientist mind knows, once the breakdown starts, it really cant be stopped - I mean MAYBE if you put that stuff on them when they were "new" and continued, but who knows what 30 years of application of that would do to the plastic. Some people use a floor polish to do the same thing. I just dont know the long tern ramifications of products like that.

That is interesting. I have only one "beater" that has sharpie on it, Nien Numb. I may at some point go get some Oxi Clean and try it on that figure since he is locked in one of my figure cases never to see the light of day anyways. just out of curiosity. If it cleans the Sharpie off that, then it works - it is all over his shoulders.

In this case yes - I dont know if it would for ALL figures, but here it did it cleanly, without me scrubbing or anything - the ink is just gone!

I just read on another forum that the BLACK MAGIC in the video is petroleum based, and should not be used. There are water based protectants that are safer

No idea - I dont even know if it would - Just something I read, and, overall, I think water based products are less harsh than petroleum.

Well, for one - The restorer is just replacing oils, and best case, those oils will help keep the limbs of the figures flexible - The mild bit of UV protection I dont think would make much difference (and it wears off), if you are already taking steps to prevent direct UV exposure -
The figures - from what I can gather - get sticky when they are stored in "air tight" baggies - because the chemicals seep from the plastic, and have nowhere to go, so they just build up on the surface - I recall this years ago when I just displayed my figures in the open, I never had sticky figures - but put them in bags for a few years and open them up, and they are sticky. I would ASSUME just carefully washing them with something like DAWN dish soap (grease cutter) and not putting them back in baggies would keep them from getting sticky again, but I dont know for certain - Im going to try it tonight with a sticky Droopy McCool figure.

I display my figures out in the open , none are sticky so thas a good thing . for a few years I had some of the rarer ones in bags in boxes but never noticed if they got this way . now all are out in the open and are enjoyed by all that see them

1. Emily - 1 star
I am extremely disappointed with "Magic Wings Cholj". The plot was dull and predictable, and the characters lacked depth. I found it difficult to connect with any of them and was therefore not invested in their journey. The writing style was also lackluster, with repetitive phrases and predictable dialogues. Overall, this book did not live up to my expectations and I would not recommend it to others.
2. David - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Magic Wings Cholj", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The concept of magical wings and their significance seemed intriguing, but the execution was poor. The pacing was slow, and the story lacked a clear direction. Additionally, the author introduced several subplots that were left unresolved, leaving me frustrated and unsatisfied. The characters were underdeveloped, and their motivations felt inconsistent. While there were moments of potential, this book ultimately failed to deliver a captivating and engaging reading experience.
3. Samantha - 1 star
"Magic Wings Cholj" was a complete disappointment. The writing was amateurish, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. The story was convoluted and difficult to follow, with random plot twists that seemed forced and unnecessary. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked emotional depth, making it hard to sympathize or root for them. Overall, this book was a struggle to read, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging fantasy novel.
4. Michael - 2 stars
I found "Magic Wings Cholj" to be a mediocre read. While the premise of magical wings was intriguing, the execution left much to be desired. The story lacked coherence and failed to create a believable and immersive world. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters on a meaningful level. Additionally, the pacing was uneven, with long stretches of boredom followed by rushed and haphazard action sequences. Although there were some interesting ideas sprinkled throughout, this book failed to deliver a satisfying and enjoyable reading experience.
