picked up a couple of Shabby vintage Action Man figures from ebay a couple of months ago and aim to give them a clean up when i get time, was wondering if anyone had any tips as the hair is pretty grubby aswell as the body

Sellotape works well, I've found.

Just had a look in a Action man collectors book, the author recommends carefully scraping the hair with a pen knife blade...for cleaning the face, use a cotton bud & nail varnish remover but avoid any painted parts (like the lips & eyes) as it will damage them.
Personally I just use warm soapy water for the faces or just a dab of WD40

Cheers T'shot, the thought of using a pen knife on the hair kinda gets me thinking hes gonna get a very short haircut
when you mentioned sellotape did you mean put it on the hair then pull it off?
oh and whats the full title of the action Man book you have and is it worth gettin?
cheers

After watching Toy Story 2 just now , I consider myself an expert in these matters.
My advice, pay an old man to do it.
