a long time ago i had a cut on my cuticle and a drop of blood got on a transformer named universe octane. I now remembered this. he has been stored in a rubbbermaid bin and has touched other figures. (the drop of blood was probably dry by then) what do i do?

Clean it.

how?

Get a paper towel, moisten (not soak) it with water, rub the blood off the toy. If it doesn't do the job try a tiny bit of soap. Dish soap might be good. It really shouldn't be too hard to get off of a non-porous surface like a plastic toy.

Yeah, you won't need any of those specialty stain busters that are out there. I'd be really weary with those, especially if they contain some form of acetone.

I'd be wary of using hydrogen peroxide other than as a later resort, seeing as it's a bleach and could cause discoloration.

"Medical" H2O2. It's not as strong as the ones in Acer/TrueValue...........

Still, better to start with just a little water and work up from there. Even diluted, I wouldn't go throwing a bleach on a toy if something safer hasn't been tried first.
