Yeah, I don’t know what type of paint they used on Mage Knight figures, it doesn’t look like enamel and, unless things are very different in China, enamels are significantly more expensive than other types of paints, so  cheap acrylics seem the most likely suspect. I have soaked a Mage Knight or Heroclix mini in acetone before, which dissolved the base, turned the figure rubbery and took off the paint, but I think I’ll save the acetone for real (metal) figures……

I’ll try a different – and also worthless – figure in LA’s next and maybe I’ll try Simple Green next time I’m at a store that sells it. Shopping isn’t what it used to be……
