Sometimes I just put Boxerpool looking coy in seductive poses around the house until my partner finds him. One of these days she's gonna throw him at my head and I'll deserve it.

My wife is disgusted and freaked out by Predators. So when I was collecting NECA Preds, I would sometimes stick them in cabinets or hide them in her clothes in the closet. I still maintain that it was hilarious despite her earnest, and definitely incorrect, assertions that it was not.

I just got my first three predators. I have a new game. Thank you.
 
Boxerpool came on my honeymoon. My wife and I took turns posing him cheekily on plane rides and in our hotel rooms.

Speaking of... the ink on Gwenpool's sword grips came off onto the back of her head. Any recommendations for removing paint on white plastic? is this a case for nail polish remover or paint thinner? Trying not to ruin an older figure.

Boxerpool has been front and center in my modern Marvel display for years. Found this claw foot bathtub soap dish and it made the most sense for him.

I picked up some 2003 Hulk hands. I'm not a roll play toy guy but these look like good things to make and exception for. I've kind of always wanted some, but I want the originals because it seems they've only gotten smaller over the years. I'm going to display them in my classroom this fall. I asked my wife if she'd buy them for me and she said yes without hesitation.

I use hot water and a paper towel between the plastic and a fingernail.
 
Magic Eraser can also do the trick. Acetone will definitely work though, and if it's on unpainted plastic, it shouldn't cause any issues. Just dab a cotton swab into it and it will come off almost instantaneously.
 
Don't let acetone linger too long though, it can melt plastic. Should be fine on the softer PVC of a hand, but I've seen it melt the harder ABS plastics. It evaporates quickly, but you should still probably wipe it off once it's removed the paint you want removed.
 
Anytime you're using a harsh substance on plastic you should use the smallest amount necessary and wash the part afterwards. I just used it on a Super7 head to remove a splotch of random paint and it didn't harm anything.

Yeah, I always do my acetone detailing over a running sink.
