Apparently ds plays with action man all day at nursery ... not in a fighting type play but more its a male doll kind of way I think. He has asked for one for Christmas but every time I search for action man I just seem to get spider man action figures etc. Does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this that isn't too gun/battle ready?

they dont seem to make them any more but found this site if it is of interest: Action man toys

thanks .. they seem a bit expensive though! why can't boys have male dolls to play with? sooo annoying. I guess I will have to buy a second hand one in that case. I am always seeing them at second hand sales so I figured they were still readily available.

I have a pile of them waiting got go on ebay. Can't remember which ones now, but quite a few and in pretty good nick. Not the ancient ones - all 5 ish years old but DS was never much for playing with them (he's 11 now) I can photograph and give you details if you want them? No idea what they're worth, but we could discuss?

I'm not a very prolific poster, but a regular (mostly lurker) and genuine, I promise! Email me at fruittea at hotmail dot co dot uk if you want to discuss - don't worry if not
