Cleaning figures

Hi!!

I'm new here so this may be in the wrong forum. :P
I have some really dirty dinosaur figures (Schleich and Kenner JP) and I don't know how to wash them. The grime is in the skin cracks and folds. I've tried soaking them and scrubbing them with a toothbrush which works to an extent but I'm running out of creative ideas.
If anyone would help me out I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
Horseyhoo

You can soak the Schleichs in something strong (like isopropyl alcohol) no problem, because they are PVC painted. I don't own any Kenner figures so I can't comment on those.

How about dishwashing liquid. That one works best for me.
