I would use an almost dry microfiber cloth so not to remove the flocking.
You could use a hair dryer on low or an artist's soft bristled brush.
Try using a hairdryer set on the cool setting, but that just knocks some surface dust off. You can also knock dust off with a fluffy makeup brush, like a blush or powder brush, because the bristles are soft and won't damage the flock.
I would use a soft brush to clean away any loose dust or dirt. I would worry that heat may soften the glue it's attached with.
You can make use of soft toothbrush just ensure that you brush softly to avoid damaging the flocking. Then fll a bowel with hot water and squeeze in some gentle hand wash soap or shampoo (the gentler the better) and leave the figure to soak for about 20-30 minutes.
With a soft but stiff painters brush. Check a craft store art section.
you can use canned air to clean them as well just spray on and it should get the dust off or use a soft toothbrush
Canned air, like you use to clean a keyboard, will work great.
I’d try some canned spray air and then a soft brush.
Hello, hope these ideas help you out, You can roll a strip of masking tape into a ball (with the sticky side facing out) and roll it around the flocked surface. If you try a super-sticky tape like packing tape, dab gently so you don't also remove the flocking. I've also heard of using the sticky side of mailing labels for removing lint. Hope this link helps you out,

This method is effective for cleaning dust off of fabric artificial flowers so you might want to give it a try on a couple of figurines to see how it may work:
Put them in a clean plastic bag with salt.
Shake gently.
The salt and the dust should then fall to the bottom of the bag.
Remove figurines from this bag, put into another clean plastic bag.
Shake gently to remove any remaining salt.
Soft tooth brush.
I'd use a hair blow dryer on the cool setting (so no warm/hot air) and also set it on the lowest to blow off any dust.
Dusting lightly with a dry magic eraser might be suggested.
You can use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
use a little brush
One of the softest things I can think of to use for this are make up brushes.
