Is it acrylic paint you used on the tongue? Did you seal it with anything? I'd say start with non-solvent methods like you have, you could maybe, VERY gently use a Magic Eraser sponge too, but you have to be careful and not go through layers you didn't intend to. I've used that for scuffs and paint transfer on PVC statues before with great success. Not this exact application, but I'd think it similar enough for it to be a viable option. You can use blunt tweezers or non-sharp pliers to hold a small bit of the sponge, and get into the small spaces.
But if it's not sealed, you could also try soapy water and cloth, or maybe even go up to isopropyl alcohol if you are super careful too. I'd not go stronger than that thought as you don't want to strip off the factory paint/sealer, and acetone, paint thinner, mineral spirts, etc, will totally melt it all off. I've not had a statue from this line myself though, so I don't have personal experience with the quality of the factory paint to advise further, or venture into the more dangerous methods.
If you did seal it, or it's not acrylic paint, your options may be limited without having an expert weigh in.
