I found a reliable way to take the paintjobs wizkids slaps on their minis. Acetone, nail polish removers main ingredient will remove the latex paint wizkids uses on their latex minis. Beauty supply stores sell acetone in quarts [$ 4us ] and gallons[$10 us][I buy in gallons]Best way to do it [this causes the least damage to the fig]is take a close-able glass jar with a lid, fill jar with acetone 1/3 full.  [the more minis you plan to clean the more acetone you will need] Drop in a few mage Knights WITHOUT THEIR BASES! Cut away all of the hard plastic base. Acetone will swiftly destroy bases! Also I DO NOT know what acetone does to the solonavi clear green plastic! th plastic of the bases becomes a damnable mess if it gets into the acetone.Close jar tightly and swirl the mage knight in the [quickly darkening] acetone. Give the minis a good spin cycle. [spin them around quickly]You will start to see the paint falling off the mage knight  revealing the figure beneath.Now take the figs out of the acetone, you will see they will have soften and expanded THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY! If the figure is clean enough for you wash it off and let it dry for a  week. Not clean yet ? if the are is a crevice heavy one like a face; scrub with old toothbrush with the acetone. If the mage knight has a full layer of paint left then throw it back into the now blackened acetone. Repeat the process.oh BTW you might want to find some of the newer singles of some of those mage knights. <a href="http://www.pjccmall.com" target="_blank">www.pjccmall.com</a> has some good prices.<img src="http://www.wizkidsgames.com/images/figures/MKUL_034.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> MK5 #035 Feral Bloodsucker - standard: this guy is on sale for 39 cents.
