If the mini's are metal and the paint is acrylic, then you can use
methyl-ethyl ketone, a.k.a. MEK, which is available from places which
sell
industrial plastics or do acrylic fabrication.	A 4oz can should run you
about $3 or so.  You may also be able to get it from a hardware store,
probably as something to clean PVC pipe with.

Note that pure MEK is _extremely_ volatile ie evaporates very quickly,
so
you'll want to work in a ventilated area.  Open the container, dump the
mini's in, and seal it again (or find some other way to keep it sealed
most
of the time.

MEK does not bother polyethylenes so you use a milk jug or similar
container
if you wish.
