Removing newspaper stains from G4s?

[Jupetto]

My friend recently send me a Lemon Gem and Flower Wishes. He isn't a collector and he bought them as a gift, which I appreciate. I kinda trusted him to pack carefully but he just wrapped them in newspaper! Nevertheless they were stained. Flower Wishes has got it really bad as she has this big stripe on her forehead. Lemon Gems was only stained around her hooves.

I guess I can't look in a given horses mouth but I'm still wondering if I can fix it?

I think Magic Eraser would take that off. But, some more experienced members may have better/other advice?

Magic eraser will take it off. Make sure to be careful around painted areas like her eyes and cutie mark. I once got a pony from an eBay seller wrapped in newspaper and the marks came of with magic eraser. Good Luck!

They don't sale Mr.Clean erasers in my country! I wonder if other brands work as well.

I'll try it, thank you.

You want a dirt sponge I used to find them in my local supermarket when I lived in Amsterdam. That was 8 years ago so I dont remember the brand unfortunately - I just remember they seemed to be known as dirt sponges

You should manage to remove it with that. If its just a surface print from the ink you could also possibly remove it just with acetone on a cotton bud/q-tip.

I need to remember this magic eraser trick! I'm sure it will come in handy when cleaning up some ponies in the future!

Be careful not to scrape the pony - some G4's aren't as brightly coloured underneath - I learnt this the hard way with a Cheerilee!
