I have 2 sons - 4 and 6 months. DS1 really enjoyed playing with the action men at my parents house (the sort of male version of Barbie/Sindy who you can dress and undress etc) I am thinking of looking around for something similar for him for xmas - figures that he can make up stories with and can dress/undress and that maybe can have accessories eg a car - I am thinking bigger than playpeople. If he had a sister then he would be playind with her dolls but he doesn't. I don't have anything against dolls but I don't thinkg he woudl be keen on Barbie etc - he would feel that is too girly. Also would like to avoid army stuff (like actionman!) Any ideas?
