I don't know if all action figures are the same size, but if they look like they could wear Ken clothes, some Barbie doll pattern envelopes include Ken clothes.

Burda's Ken size patterns DO NOT FIT Action Man - he's got too many muscles! You have to size them up quite a bit...

I just laid down the original clothes and cut out paper paterns that way. Don't forget to add on the seam allowance, I also added a few extra cms to the trousers width as the original ones were very tight and action mans legs are somewhat sticky. Saved me having to take the trousers on and off for little hands that were struggling.
Action man is quite obliging and will model quietly for hours without moaning and ours didn't mind when he got a pin stuck in him either! As you are only using scraps a few mistakes don't matter. Or you could let your child have a go once you have the paper patterns made, a lot of my first sewing was for Sindy and Pippa.
I made quite a few outfits for my boys Action Men, including PJ's that matched my boys ones and Judo Kimono's, black belt of course!!

Sorry, didn't realize Action Man was a specific person. I thought it was a generic term. I guess I'm out of the toy loop these days.

He's been around for at least 25 years.
Then I apologize for posting at all. Apparently I have no excuse.

You certainly haven't, if you're going to get snotty about a basic bit of information. "These days"?
It's always worth posting surely. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. If you don't ask you'll never know. If I don't know I ask, I'll only look more stupid later when I am found out for pretending to know when I don't. Why is this disintergrating into a sniping match?
