I've used two things.

I used actual paint remover from Home Depot. The stuff was probably
heavy on
the acetone. It ate through the (obviously) wrong type of rubber gloves
I was
using and was very tough on my skin.

The second time, I used Pine-Sol. It was far cheaper, didn't really hurt
the
skin (didn't even use gloves) and left the kitchen smelling fresh. *L* 

Depends on what you're after, I suppose. The Pine-Sol I actually left
the
figures in the "bath" for a couple of days and the paint came off
without a
problem and the minis weren't hurt at all. The paint remover worked
almost
immediately.
