SC Gohan is here! Unfortunately, he fell victim to poor packing and is scuffed in a few places (mainly the base and leg obscured by his cape). Will acetone remove the paint transfer on the base?

Acetone will very likely immediately fog the shiny black plastic.

You mean Goku drinking from the canteen in the orange CC jacket and tons of accessories? I have him and he's adorable :3 Yep. That's the one. There's this friend of mine and he's kinda the definitive collector i.e. he gets a representative figure of a character. Museum poses, highly detailed and the like. No variants or crossovers. In spite of that, he had me order one for him too when he saw this figure. I still don't remember where that actual scene is in the anime or the manga SC Gohan is here! Unfortunately, he fell victim to poor packing and is scuffed in a few places (mainly the base and leg obscured by his cape). Will acetone remove the paint transfer on the base? I dunno much but you may be better off trying turpentine instead of acetone.

Grr, I am very displeased at the seller's disregard for proper packing. At least the worst of it isn't actually on the figure.

I know it exists, because I got some years ago from the dollar store and used it on Hot Wheels to remove the ugly decals on them. It's still a risk, but it's much less of a risk. I'm fairly confident you'll immediately ruin the shiny black plastic with even just a second of acetone touching it.

I'll try some on a test area first and see how it goes. It won't be the end of the world if it has to stay.

I think it's just based on this artwork I guess. I have to hunt down that Megahouse figure too! I'm fairly confident you'll immediately ruin the shiny black plastic with even just a second of acetone touching it. Exactly. Have had first hand experience. I'll try some on a test area first and see how it goes. It won't be the end of the world if it has to stay. Try it on the underside of the base first.

Yeah, try the bottom edge of what actually touches the table and see if it clouds that.
