From the Publisher

Stuart Wells and Jim Main did a great job on this book -- the pages are chock full of wonderful photos and great information. Although action figures have never been my strong suit, I checked out the Masters of the Universe figures immediately -- I wonder if my nephew still has all the figures we raced around finding for him in the 1980s. GI Joe was always a guilty pleasure for me -- soldiers weren't the thing when I was growing up during the Vietnam War, but I always thought he'd make a better date for my Barbie than that wimp Ken!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Official Price Guide to Action Figures (2nd Ed), August 21, 2001

By	Flossie M. Schoppa (Saint Jo, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This book had all black and white pictures, and almost all of them showed the item in its package. I needed a book to help me IDENTIFY individual figures, which this book DEFINATELY DID NOT DO. I immediately returned the book.

By A Customer

This was a very informative book. I liked the fact it went back a while to older figures I am missing, as well as all the hints and thips along the way. Kudos to Amazon for featuring this book!!
