Hey guys,
I wanted to ask for advice in regards to getting rid of cigar/cigarette smoke smell from pops that I ordered from an eBay seller. The seller obviously has a smoke-friendly home and my pops were unfortunate victims of it. Even the shipping box and wrapping reeked of cigarette smoke when it arrived
Any advice on getting rid of the smell? special deodorizers or scents?

Just give it time to air out...that should do the trick!

My suggestion probably not the preffered answer would be, take up smoking You'll never notice it then
I've heard that if you warm up a towel in the dryer, put a dryer sheet on the pop box, then wrap it in the warm towel works. I guess the warm towel activates the dryer sheet and makes your pop smell laundry fresh

I'd take the Pop out of the box and let both air out for a few days.
I picked up a Golden Smaug and put him in another box for a few days while I figured out where to put him. When I opened the box, everything reeked of vinyl. Had to leave them out to breathe.

Take everything out of the box and place in front of a fan and let sit there until much of the smell is gone. Also, place in a larger box with either baking soda or charcoal. Close the box and let sit until smell is gone.

Is this Funko's new "Scratch-n-sniff" line?
