Oh they're really cute! If I started collecting them I'd probably get addicted and amass quite a few. Good luck hunting some down. ^.^

That electric blue one in the first photo was a treasured childhood toy of mine--I still keep her in my room amongst the "favorites". XD

Good hunting!

She really does stand out from the others! That's probably why I picked her out, back when I was four years old. X3 I hope you can find one of your own! :)

These toys bring back so many memories... X3

She does!!!
I just won a bid for one on eBay. Though the owner colored on her with red marker. Seeing if I can clean her up when I get her.

Ooh, congrats! I would try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser--those things are amazing for getting marker out of plastic. I always use them on my "fixer-upper" items. ^^

I'm kinda worried magic erasers will tear off the paint. Searching through ebay I found a lot of this raptor with chipped paint. I'm thinking toothbrush and soap.

Hmm... I'm usually more afraid of a toothbrush, but that probably depends on what kind of plastic you're dealing with. I might just try a rinse with some Dawn first, and see if that clears any marker out of the crevices... Some marker stains come out really easily with just running water and soap!

Mine is still very minty, and has a sort of gloss to her, so I'm surprised that so many on the used market have paint wear--it looked rather well-sealed. :(

Magic Eraser is just a fine sandpaper, it WILL take off paint if you are aggressive enough with it.
I'd go with a toothbrush and soap to start with, work up from there.  Alas I have no raptors to spare, rather attached to all my dinos.  Many of these recolours I haven't seen before!

I'll see what I can get off with regular water and soap when I get her. Then get a baby tooth brush and see what I can get off from there. Will post pictures when she arrives :)

I know! I'm really surprised how many others there are! Makes hunting a bit more exciting!

Ooh, hadn't thought of that... :/ Yeah, I guess if the paint is prone to chipping, that's best saved as a last resort. Good to know! I've mostly used Magic Erasers on solid colors, so I wasn't aware of how corrosive they could be to paint...

And yeah, I never knew how many raptor variants there were! I'm loving that last one in the second pic!

So she is as bad as the picture I showed, red marker all over her back and her teeth! The original owner said they put marker on her to make it looks bloody. In a kids perspective I understand, but... No... So into the bath she went!

Scrubby Scrubby! A soft toothbrush and soap and results are stunning!
