    Hey guys...I have a question to you guys who collect Sideshow Figs.I bought a Frankenstein's Monster off of eBay this week and he's in great shape...but there's one problem. I was unaware that he came from a smoker's home. (And to those of you who call yourself collectors and have the indeceny to smoke inside the same home your house your collectibles - I abhor you. Shame on you for exposing your collection to secondhand smoke. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":wink:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"wink.gif\" /> )Bottomline: His clothes stink like smoke beyond belief.My question to you: is there anyway to get the smell of smoke out of action figure clothes without actually washing them in a washing machine?The thing is...I don't want to take the clothes off the figure - it's difficult and you run the risk of destroying the clothes - so washing them is out.Does anyone have any suggestion? Would Febreze work? Would spot washing work? Or is there anything else I'm missing?<img src=\"http://www.mwctoys.com/images/review_ssfrank_5.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><!--coloro:#98FB98<span style=\"color:#98FB98\"><!--/coloro<!--fonto:Impact<span style=\"font-family:Impact\"><!--/fonto<!--sizeo:5<span style=\"font-size:18pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeoFrank Stinks - What to do???<!--sizec</span><!--/sizec<!--fontc</span><!--/fontc<!--colorc</span><!--/colorc

    Go with the dryer sheet like Larry said. Anytime I'm around smokers, I wipe my jacket down with one and it does the job nicely.

    Sorry about your smelly Sideshow Frank and everyone's suggestions sound about right... but I gotta say he looks pretty damn good. Congrats on the fig. That stink will be gone soon enough.

    I agree with the dryer sheet or Febreze. Basically think of it like when you go to a bar. Your jacket might smell like smoke for a few days, but it eventually goes away even if you don't wash it.
