I won't pinpoint what, when and who from, but in the past I've bought loose figures/toys from eBay that have turned up smelling like an ashtray. Some eBay sellers who probably smoke don't state whether they sell from a smoke free home (and I sorta don't blame them).
Does anyone have tips for taking the second hand smoke smell away from figures?

Oust? It works on soft and hard surfaces and is anti-bacterial.

Tried that on one figure, but no cigar (just cigarette  ). |

why not try the usual bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid or vinegar or all 3 (who knows) or just leave your toys outside to the elements  |

Clear Vinegar could work a treat.
Normally with some figures (say mainly ones I get at the car boot) I soak in denture powder if I can to get the shine back on the plastic and also by the off chance the previous owner may have had it in thier mouth or something. It was a tip I read in Toyfare once and I continued ever since.
