Hey everyone!

I recently started the grand adventure of American Girl collecting, and I was pretty lucky in which a coworker gave me two of her daughters  (of whom is my age and no longer wanted them) PM dolls (Felicity and Kristen) I was totally beyond excited when I got them. Aside from some hair issues, they are in great shape. SO! While I was waiting to buy Felicity a new wig, I picked up a couple of outfits from Our Generation at Target, since I thought that they were cute and affordable, and hey a girl has to have outfits!. So I got this lovely little outfit:

I had it on Felicity for about a week and a half to two weeks, when I decided to changer her outfit and I saw this:

Its on both arms, and is pretty bad, I tried couple of different things to get the "ink" off, but nothing seemed to work (I've tried soap and water, hot soap and water, sani wipes, ect.) I didnt want to try anything to drastic because I'm not sure what the effects would be in the vinyl. So I decided I would pretty much just live with it, and have her wear outfits with longer sleeves, until today, when I finally got her new wig in, an saw this:

The ink color is exactly the same as the stuff on her arms, and its been about three weeks since I removed the outfit that I though caused the damage, but I dont know how it could have gotten on her nose and side of her face! She sits on a book shelf, with Kirsten (who has had nothing happen to her) away from any light, with, of course, nothing touching her face (especially her nose!).

Any ideas on what could be causing these blue marks? Or better yet how can I remove them? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I recently won an auction lot of ponies (a mix of G1's and G3's) and they all stink of smoke. I've given them the whole spa treatment, and while they dont smell as bad as they did when I first recieved them, they still have an odor to them.
 
My main concern is that their plastic is holding on to that smell more so than their hair. Does anyone have some techniques on how to make them smell pretty (or at least not as bad)?
