At 70% I don’t think there’s much risk. I’m not sure the alcohol was involved that much in softening it, this is the worst paint I’ve ever seen on a toy. Some of it was already transferred to his little foam butt flap when I opened the box. I think you could probably get most of it to pull up with just some pressure from your thumbs.

So I took your advice on the electrical tape and rub off. So I took a lint roller to this figure. And there is a good amount of black that came off. I just kept rolling with some pressure until the sticky paper no longer picks up black. I don’t think this will get to the charcoal looking color, but at least it will sorta look matte. Thanks for the tip.
 
I still have this in my preorders, I really don't know how I feel with it now. I honestly don't want to waste time and money having to fix it might cancel it and get something else but this is the only time we might get the begins suit. Wait until InArt does one then we'll see a new improved DX version with the cowl. Smh
 
Aa far as rubbing the paint off, in order to do a new paint job you would have to prep the rubber suit with something. Whether that is alcohol, mineral spirits or acetone... you would have to take that shine off no matter what. After two weeks week my alcohol figure is holding up just fine. Nothing has changed on the surface. I am only saying this because a buddy speculated I could see things after a week or two.
 
The lengths people are willing to go to . . .

Remember guys, they glossed the hands up too!
 
We get it,you hate it.
I think it’s an interesting phenomenon personally. Wiping down a figure to fix what shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Sure Howard loves that. If I got one, I’d take a bath with it.

At this rate, you’re better off making your own Begins Batman figure.

If only I had that talent.
 
Hot toys still deserves to be 💩 on for absolutely taking a dump on this figure, but at least with this mod, and a new head, and a new cape, you can buy a prime 1 statue with the money it takes to make this figure look somewhat good 🤣
