Cleaning Minis with a Magic Eraser - Visuals included!

[Rantt]

Finally managed to buy a magic eraser and it does work. But one of the pops that I tried cleaning.. End up using too much force and the colour was rub off.. So make sure use the exact strength to run!

Hi where did u get those magic eraser????

I think those Daiso do sell them. Hope tat helps.

[FunkoLoco]

Love how magic erasers are able to help clean paint off most of my collectibles.

my favorite invention for collectors. Truly magic. Always tread lightly though or you can do some damage

All great tips magic erasers do miracles!!

[funkosundae]

Great tip. Will try it. Thx

[SpastikGrl]

I finally used this on some pints and it looks amazing

[thefunkohunko]

this is a great tutorial. I've been collecting more and more mystery minis lately, and I need this advice! thank you

[FunkoGus]

Thanks for this, I have a few mini's that I will try this on.

[L3g3nD33]

I've used this in the past on MMs and it works great. (I've also used it on my car for scuffs, from like shopping carts, and it works great as well)

Dawn dish detergent and a tooth brush seems to work well for me most times..

[Hgmaddhatter]

Awesome idea and I really appreciate the visuals and step by step!

[CarlitaJuanita]

That’s a great idea! Thanks

[bakivali]

Cool, I'll have to try it out myself.

[heymrosario]

This is very interesting, I'll have to try this!

[Karubin]

That is interesting... Does it work the same with Pops and Dorbz?

[Ratattack]

Oh! Wow!

I never thought of magic erasers as a way to clean paint imperfections. I can see using this method on pops as well.

I've tried a rubbing alcohol-water solution in the past and it has also worked. The stronger the alcohol ratio the better the paint flaws will be removed; but at the same time, the more damaging to the figure the solution can be. So always use at your own risk.

I've also tried nail polish remover or acetone to remove paint flaws and other surface imperfections. These though must be handled very carefully as they can easily remove too much paint and ruin you figure, not to mention the fumes are toxic.

It seems the magic eraser idea is a safe way to remove imperfections. I'll give it a try!

[MissKitty]

Those erasers are so good, I'd be scared to clean them with that sponge. Scary!

Sorry for the late reply but yes this trick also absolutely works on pops. I carry them a lot and accidents happen like scuffs and such but the magic eraser trick has worked pretty much every time. I’d go with that first before trying any other stuff.

No worries! I’ve tried the magic eraser trick and it worked well. Thanks for sharing!

Magic Eraser is great! The right amount of force is important though or the color can rub off.

That is interesting

I have a stain on one of my glitter pops. Has anyone tried to remove stains from a glitter pop. I don't want to try it and risk removing the glitter. I guess I'll try cleaning it with a toothpick, little by little.

[dzinction]

I have learned the hard way by using those erasers too vigorously! My walls in my room have different color spots in a few places.

[M37R01D]

Great write up. Thx for the guide

[Joker3346]

Thanks for the post. Will be helpful in the future

[Dv8sian]

Definitely a great tip, I use these as well to clean up my protos

[Angelstorm]

I was super nervous to try but actually this worked really well ! Thanks OP !

[Joker3346]

Wow I would of never thought to do this. I need to go through the minis and see if there's anything I can try to fix now . It's crazy that it helps and doesn't make it worse. All the little scrapes and stuff can really make a figure look ugly.

[riddle360]

Ok how did I not know there were Horror Minis. I need to find these esp. Ghostface, Michael and Leatherface (as I cosplay them and would love to have them in my collection) ...

[mattytreks]

Thanks for the extremely helpful tips!

[Straight2VHS]

Anyone try La’s Totally Awesome cleaner? It works well on just about anything.

[Johnatron5000]

Great idea

[MaxFMusic]

Appreciate these tips!

[tompate122]

Thank for this! Very helpful
