So, I got a Park 1 Kermit and there is a line of red ink (most likely from a Bic) on the back of its head. Anyone know how I can remove it without messing up the vinylmation? Is that even possible?

Thanks

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Those seem to work wonders on most things while not doing damage to the actual item itself. I used it to remove a stain on a designer purse and the stain came out without discoloring the purse.

The magic eraser does work well, but be careful how much you rub one spot. I got a full set of park 2 and 9 urban 1's from ebay and the seller threw them all in one ziploc bag and then in a box for shipment. Needless to say they rubbed on each other and left marks. The magic eraser got 99% of everything off, but there were a couple that I rubbed on real hard and noticed some of the base paint color on the eraser. It didn't create a spot on the vinyl, but once I saw some of the color on the eraser I stopped.
