Star Wars Vintage Action Figures: A Guide for Collectors

Monday, June 7th, 2004

This is *the* book for anyone who’s ever had an interest in the vintage Kenner Star Wars action figure line (from 1977-1985). Nostalgiac fans who may or may not collect will see all the items they loved as kids, while experienced collectors will get comprehensive coverage on many different aspects of the hobby. Based on 10 years of research, the author has compiled detailed information not to be found elsewhere, with a special focus on US package variations, store displays & promotional items, and package and display-related prototype items. If you think you’ve seen it all, you simply haven’t until you’ve seen this book. The author has used large, high quality photos of all the items, many of which have never been seen in any other format. In addition to coverage of the toys many knew and loved, the author provides images of rare and one-of-a-kind items from his own and other collections. You didn’t know how many different versions of the rare and infamous unproduced rocket-firing Boba Fett figures there were until this book came out!

There have been other books covering parts of the same topic, but none with the quality and depth as this book. The $34.95 cover price is far less than one would expect to pay for a lengthy hard-cover book like this, especially considering the overall high quality. Unlike general Star Wars guides that used lots of small images, the author has used large, high quality, professionally produced images. The paper stock and hard cover are also heavier than any other book I’ve seen in this area. In my opinion, not only is this book a bargain at this price, many of the items seen in this book can’t be seen *anywhere* since they are in various private collections. It’s a super treat to be able to see them all here together in one place.
