Those will work good on some Western type stuff, that have a lot thicker paint application. Be careful using it on Japanese vinyl that is sprayed.

for vintage toys, I recommend a cleaning solution from Twin Pines of Maine. It is orange based, and it is mased for use on GI Joe bodies and other plastic and vinyl. You need to water it down a bit, and work slowly, but you can get about 50% of the scuffs off on regular play wear. harder vinyls are less receptive (talkers for example) but you know the stuff won't hurt your toys.
I have no idea what is in magic eraser, but I bet it is a bleach derivitive, which could be scary in the long run.

there's nothing in a magic eraser
it's just a weird sponge
you wet it then squeeze out the water and wipe away

When I inquired about their products, this is what Mr. Hill wrote back:
Nick Hill wrote: Our Formula 9-1-1 is the world wide standard for cleaning vinyl
action figures and dolls. You can read about it and see before and
after pictures on our site <www.twinpines.com>.
You can also click on "our book" to read the endorsements. The basis
for my book is more than fifty years as a chemist and three patents
in vinyl technology.
