3.0 out of 5 stars Only read once..., August 22, 2004

This review is from: Collectible Action Figures: Identification and Value Guide (Paperback)

This book provides some basic information about several action figure lines. On the plus side, this book does provide some information and pictures on a few lines that may be hard to find elsewhere (i.e., Big Jim and The Six Million Dollar Man). On the minus side, there is no mention of Star Wars figures, and very little about Mego figures. Further, most of the information that is presented is easily found elsewhere. In short, there are much better books out there about both action figures in general (one of my favorites being "Tomart's Encyclopedia of Action Figures: The 1001 Most Popular Collectibles of All Time"), and about specific action figure lines (i.e., just Star Wars, just GI Joe, just Mego, just Captain Action, etc.). To be fair, I did enjoy going through this book once, I just haven't found a need to open it again since.
