My little brother found his old LJNs from deep deep under the closet. I even forgot he had those. He decided to give those to me. They are worn out. The paint is faded off and there are lots of paint scratches & stains. My Question is : How do I remove those paint scratches/stains and what kind of paint do I use to repaint the attire?
The figs are (unknown series): Macho Man, John Studd, Andre the Giant (long hair), Brutus Beefcake, Jim 'Hacksaw', Nikolai Volkoff, Hulk Hogan (red & yellow), Srg. Slaughter, King Kong Bundy, and others that I cant remember.
Does anyone know what the prices of these are under their condition?
Thanks in advance.
Happy Findings!

try soap and water to clean them up. as far as what type of paint to use i'm not sure. i have seen customizers that use acrylic and also some use the type of paint that sorta moves with the figures. i will tell you not to repaint the sgt. slaughter, that figure was a mail away and is one of the rarest/most valuable ljns.

If they're in tattyish condition, the value wont be alot, except on the Slaughter like the other guy stated, he's pretty saught after as he was the GI Joe LJN Mailaway or something like that.
Soap and water would be best to clean them up as already said, but don't use anything with a rough surface as it'll wear the rubber down, a really soft cloth/sponge should be fine.
Acrylic paint is best to use when touching up the attires, just be careful though, and don't repaint slaughter at all.

Well, they are all common...but if Hacksaw still has his 2x4 you're talking some cash.
Now are you sure is Sgt Slaughter. Becuase Sgt Slaughter was a mail away...and is probably the rarest LJN out there....Do you have a picture?

Some people confuse Corporal Kirchner for Sgt. Slaughter, so yeah... might want to make sure it's really worth something (Kirchner is very common).
