Help with cleaning

I've got this old Jessie, she's from 2005, and she's got some bad staining on her clothes that I wanted to get rid of. Any ideas on what could work? She also has some spots on the plastic of her face that I'm not sure what to do with. Any help is appreciated!!

Help with replacing missing piece and cleaning the paint

Hi. I collect cat items. I found this vintage or retro pull toy in a thrift store yesterday. It was on sale for $1.25, so even with the missing back wheels I couldn’t pass it up. Any suggestions for replacing the back wheels? I am not a handy person, but can glue things.

The pai t also needs a good cleaning in areas, but I am afraid of damaging it. Any suggestions?

How hulk got his pants back

I found this guy for two dollars at a thrift shop missing his pants. I sourced some material for a dollar off of their babies rack and made him a new pair of pants! 👖 🪡 🧵 comparison to the original pants on my OG vintage Hulk.

Restoring my childhood Buzz

I’m looking for tips on how to restore my childhood Buzz. He spent many years in a toy box and I’d like to freshen him up. Here is the current list of issues

Paint: there are multiple blemishes and scuffs on the figure, some on green paint, some on his helmet, and some on the white plastic.

Arms: his biceps have been yellowed due to age and potential sun damage. And both of his arm stickers are peeling off

Helmet: as stated, multiple scuff marks

Jet pack: battery corrosion, stripped screws on the pack, one wing has a broken spring, making the gimmick only work on one side. The right wing does not collapse/click into place

Any help would be appreciated, I don’t wanna buy another Buzz (especially since this is apparently a rare variant). So any suggestions on how to get him looking new again would help greatly
