I collect a set of mini dinosaurs that came as surprise toys in easter eggs (though I've seen these sold as regular toys elsewhere too). These figures come in certain variety of colours, with the rubber basis being one colour and having a little bit of different colour paint on it (with one exception, sometimes they came full green with no layer of paint).

One of the colour variants isn't to my liking, the one where there's yellow/light green painted over green. I think it looks like someone poured melted butter on the poor dino. So I would like to remove the yellow paint and just make them full green.

Since there might be toy collectors here who do a bit of customizing, I would like to ask for advise on how to remove the paint without damaging the rubber. The rubber is relatively soft, you can bend the dinosaurs' limbs and tails (and flap the wings of the pterodactyls) but it's still pretty stiff and not squishy.
