Maybe this is just me being... Me...

But has anyone actually tried to clean the clear plastic on the case of their MISB figures? Like, if there was say... Sticker reisdue from someone tearing the "Only at Target" sticker off a Target exclusive, how would one go about such a task?

Or this a question that would make a few people look at me funny?

What's there to clean? Really?

OK I am a MISB collector but I usually don't clean them b/c I only display a few on a shelf and the rest are in boxes in the closet which I bring out occassionally for variety. Space is a premium for me so I don't like to display all the MISB stuff seems like overkill. :???:

Sticker residue/glue can be cleaned using a little bit of cleaner like "Goo Gone" and some paper towels... available at your nearest Walmart or Target.

i leave the "only at" stickers on the window because to me its part of the charm.

I would've but seeing as how it was a BBTS purchase... I didn't really have control over the removal of the sticker.

Fortress_Maximus, this figure in question is one of only two MISB figures that I keep. Shelf space isn't really an issue for me... And what to clean is sticker residue.

mineralblue, thanks for the tip. Seems like, yet again, the simplest idea is the one to go with. Wanted to make sure though, just in case. First time I've ever heard of someone attempting to "clean the box" of their MISB figure. And I'm the one asking.

I use wd 40 and a papaer towel comes of clean and will not mess with the thin plastic then a little windex on a paper towel to clean only the clear plastic.
For overall I use a paper towel and a little Endust and wipe the whole thing down keeps the shiny and new as well as it makes them super easy to dust later.
