Another easy tip that requires very small amount of effort is to wind up and punch yourself in the nose, if you do it hard enough then you won't smell anything for a while
Works every time

I've tried all of these. I don't think there's any way of removing it completely. I don't even deal with it anymore, if it is from something that I purchased on eBay. If the seller doesn't disclose the smell of cigarette smoke...I return them.

I would put them in a bag of baking soda and shake it up a little. Leave it like that over night and then dust off off the figure.
If it works on plush toys then it will work better for figures as plastic is less absorbent than cloth. (My GF collects the pokemon beanie dudes and it has worked on them)

Clean it with soap and water, put it on your shelf, it will go away after awhile. Unless you sniff your figures on a daily then I'm out of ideas

White distilled vinegar and a rag I would suggest this and/or soapy water and then put it in a ziploc or sealed plastic bin with baking soda. I will warn you that the baking soda can take a long time, but it certainly works. I did it with an old stuff animal that smelled like smoke. I sealed it in a plastic bin with baking soda for months - I changed the baking soda about once a month - but it worked. It probably won't take so long with a plastic figure.

Spray Febreeze or wrap them in a dryer sheet

I have recently learned something here on the boards.
Have your cat piss on them. They DEFINITELY won't smell of smoke afterwards.

I have found Lysol or Clorox wipes to clean figures up nicely to include removal of smoke smell.
Be careful on the face paint. Don't rub hard. Works great.

I've had it in the baking soda bag for about a week now. So using white distilled vinegar works better?

I left my two nasty smelling warrior protos (thanks East Coast lol) inside a box with bakingsoda overnight and the smell was completely gone. Did you seal/close whatever you put it in?

I left my two nasty smelling warrior protos (thanks East Coast lol) inside a box with backingsoda overnight and the smell was completely gone. Did you seal/close whatever you put it in? Yeah I sealed it but the smell hasn't gone away. I'm going to try some of the other methods to attempt to remove the smell.

So using white distilled vinegar works better? the vinegar and/or soap is just to clean the residue to help with the smell. You will need to leave them in a ziplock or plastic bin for weeks or even months to fully get rid of the smoke smell. That poison seeps into the plastic and it takes a long time to get rid of it. Febreeze and dryer sheets are more masking agents - they really don't get rid of smells.

The dryer sheet thing won't work on hardcore smoke smells. I tried that once with some Marvel Monster Legends I had gotten. They were cheap and I thought I could remove the smell so I bought them. Big mistake. Soap and water got the yellowish film off but not the smell. Dryer sheets didn't either. They actually were still pretty strong. I have to imagine they this person blew smoke on their figure collection 12 hours a day every day. I threw those figures in with a purge and now it's somebody else's problem.

I didn't know people smell their figures. Nor, did I know that the smell could be that bad.
