From my model kit building days....
Try to get an industrial brand of oven cleaner. Not "Easy Off", you need some kind of off brand with all the terrible chemicals in it.

Now a word of caution. Oven cleaner is corrosive. I used this on polystyrene model kits and the paint comes off with paper towel after treatment with the oven cleaner. But don't know how it will work on this kind of plastic. If the figure is in fact painted, then you may want to remove a part first just to test spray.

Also, do this in a WELL ventilated area..... anywhere you are considering breathing again.

Just a crazy idea, anyone have thoughts?

Holy threadomancy batman! This thread is from SIX YEARS AGO!!! *cue spooky music*

The information in it however is timeless. There will always be someone who wants to know how to remove paint from their toys. I'm sure there are probably several other paint removal threads in the customs and artwork section of the board.
