Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... discoloration is pretty normal on BXH vinyl, especially Kid Hunter which is a bit old compared to other vinyl toys. once i used googone(i bought this at target when i was in the states)---proved to be effective. but the "darkening" or "yellowing" did not completely disappear, but its kinda ok to me. on this pic, you can see the black spot on the nose area of my Kid H.

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... carefull w/ the magic eraser jl. it can be very abrasive and take off more of the paint than you would want. use it lightly and maybe try it on the bottom of foot first.

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... I used a Magic Eraser on the KH without overdoing it..It cleaned the figure up nicely and did not do any extra damage. So KH & ME are friendly w/ each other

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... Chuck wrote: Googone is some strong shit, Jay! You better be careful. Serious warning on the googone!!! I used it to clean off some (what appeared to be) dark grease spots off my Dalek Spacebot 13 and ended up with what looks like a bleach spot. It took layers of the yellow paint off. Be very careful

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... I've used it on some Lau figures--vinyl similar to the BXHs Kid and Bounch--thinly applied, but yeah, pretty tricky though.
Old marks and yellowings are hard to remove from these type of vinyl.

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... Quote: you can lightly use a magic eraser. mine was the same way Would this work on an Eyezon? I have one with a small black spot on it.

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... Kind of off-topic, but is BxH stuff made in China or Japan? I don't collect it, but it just seems like they have a lot of QC problems from things I've read around here...

Re: Kid Hunter cleaning... Thanks, that explains a lot. I've only seen a couple DX-kuns in real life, but those along with the clears and Melts always looked like they were made of better quality vinyl than most of their other releases. Too bad he doesn't just produce it all locally...
