LJN Neidhart fix-up and some questions

[Deleted]

I received a Jim Neidhart LJN figure from an Ebay bid about a month or so ago in kinda beat-up condition. I knew it would need some fixing which is something I enjoy doing. So here are before and after pics. The link for my collection in my sig features my LJN's as well as Hasbro's & of course Jakks.









While I'm posting, does anyone have any ideas on how to remove what appears to be maybe sharpie markings. I have not received the figure in question yet, so I am only judging by the picture from the bid. I'll update when I get the figure.

good fix up there, black permanent pens like sharpies are near impossible to remove, they stain deep into the rubber and even if you clean them up it still leaves a brown stain.
