    AJ drives me insane!

    Does any one else go insane trying to dress an Action Jackson?
    I have to do it every so often because I buy outfits and dress my t1 bodies and slap heads on them. I just did one in the Navy outfit and it drove me to damn near insanity. The shirt does not fit AJ giant head and some of the seams ripped, the shirt doesn't have snaps or any thing so there wasn't much choice in putting it on.
    The next nightmare came with putting the belt on, the stupid buckle just keeps falling off and the belt comes loose. Where these designed to be dressed by kids parents? I seriously can't imagine a kid having enough patience to sit and dress the AJ in the manner that he is meant to be dressed.
    any one else have this problem?

    I know what you mean...the carded outfits are the worst. Perhaps try taking the head off before putting shirts on.

      Some AJ suits tend to run small and fit snug. Add the fact that some of the seams see to be delicate and it certainly makes dressing AJ's a pain.

        yeah, I lack common sense

        but really, would they design them for kids to tear the heads off of them so they can dress them?

          I've had to remove AJ's hands for some of the carded outfits.

            The worst outfit for me was the scrabbler clothes. Talk about tight jeans...sheesh! He looked more like a pimp than a sports ethusiast...

              The easiest way I found to dress them is this:

              Raise AJ's arms above his head. Slowly insert his arms in the sleeves one at a time. Then very slowly lower shirt onto the head. To put his pants on, be sure and point his feet downward. Turn AJ upside down, and pull pants over legs as you would a shirt.

              This should make it easier. But remember the stitches are old and will pop is you rush things.

                I dont have any carded outfits, which ones did you have to resort to taking the hands off? That sounds pretty extreme, why Mego made them that way is beyond me.

                  The first raincoat and tan uniform I got both had very tight sleeves. Fortunately, later ones I found fit normally. I now have the tight raincoat on a Lion Rock soldier.

                    Oh, it wasn't a case of common sense when it came to me struggling with clothes...more rage and desperation
