Removal of cutie pox from the CMM line?

[Moonbreeze]

No problems with acetone here either. Just don't dip any plastic in it and remove the paint with swipes/ brushes

Here's my Helia:

No discoloration, only a hintof the pink that didn't come off

Working on Flower Wishes now. Got some Walmart brand acetone based polish remover. So far it's doing a decent job with a bit of scrubbing, though there's a bit of a yellow film leftover. Hoping to get rid of that as well.
I refuse to touch the flowers around her eye, the way I'm doing it there's gonna be some damage to necessary components.

Done, can see in the image that there's a bit of yellow on her leg, and the underlying plastic faded a bit. I was scrubbing a bit hard with a q-tip. Is this one of those situations where a better chemical is more useful? I've a couple more toys to practice on, though there may be a point at which I'll look into hiring a professional customiser to touch it up and take care of the eye pox.

that could  just as easily be a flaw in the plastic  tho.

Could be, I know I was working hard at getting those decals off. Think it would help if I wiped it off with water more often? I did have a wet paper towel handy.

I don't think it is a flaw with the plastic- I think sometimes these decals stain or sink into the plastic a bit. (Happens with vintage ponies too when you swipe off the symbol)  I suspect some careful sun-fading could lighten them up.

Looking closer, seems Flower Wishes flowers, the yellow part of it, smeared and stained her leg. Tried scrubbing it off, just seemed to make it worse. I'll try again later.
