You may want to consider this.

I have not used it myself.

I tried Mr Muscle on some Games Workshop figures for my daughter to repaint and it didn't really work well. Previous to that I tried, as suggested in GW shop using Dettol Cleaner (green fluid). This is available in supermarkets and again the results were variable. Good on the metal ones.

On both occasions I let them soak well and scrubbed with a toothbrush, but still ended up picking away with a scalpel.

On reflection the time I spent and money I'd been better getting new figures.

If I need to strip plastic again I'm going to give Superstrip a go provided the model isn't just cheaper/easier to replace with a new one.
