Crossword Genius

Toy soldier cannot aim when broken (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

action man

'toy soldier' is the definition.
(toy brand)

'cannot aim when broken' is the wordplay.
'when broken' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'cannot'+'aim'='cannotaim'
'cannotaim' is an anagram of 'ACTION MAN'.

(Another definition for action man that I've seen is " Toy figure".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
