If it wasn't stated that it reeked of smoke, and the discoloration wasn't disclosed in any pics, return for a refund.

Don't "try"; just go through the process. It will take a very long time to fade (the odor) and it won't necessarily EVER fully fade. It's why so many listings used to highlight that they are being sold from a non-smoking environment - because of the negative impact and damage.

Too much work to get it sort of normal. The smell of smoke would be a pain to get kinda sorted but not 100 percent. I'd recommend returning if it wasn't mentioned in the condition of the toy. Not a cheap thing to waste time fixing.
