Our friends from Battlegrip have just shared word that their latest Kickstarter project, Modern Army Action Figures, G.I. Joe Newspaper Ad 1982-1989, is now live! Modern Army Action Figures is an 80-page, 9-inch wide by 6-inch tall full-color hardcover book that collects and comments on G.I. Joe newspaper ads of the eighties. This is similar in style to two of Philip's other books -- Collect These Figures and Accessories and A Galaxy of Action Figure Savings -- in that the B&W ads are joined by toy photos, color catalog images, and appropriate comic panels and commercial screenshots, all in an attempt to spark memories of when A Real American Hero was new in stores. You can get in on the campaign here: Modern Army Action Figures, G.I. Joe Newspaper Ad 1982-1989 Kickstarter Campaign

Since 2012, I have created and published nine different hardcover books about toys. Now, after months of work, I have launched my newest book on Kickstarter.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...wspaper-ad-198 Modern Army Action Figures is an 80-page, 9-inch wide by 6-inch tall full-color hardcover dedicated to the G.I. Joe newspaper ads of the eighties. There's a lot jammed between the covers, and the book is about 99% complete and ready for print (I'm down to finishing two pages and the cover design). Please check out the project and support today. Thanks! Last edited by Xerofall; 07-17-2017 at 01:26 PM.. Reason: Changed "8-page" to "80-page" |

Pledged, $30 shipped is well worth it. I got your action figure carry case book last year and LOVE it.

If this closes successfully, this will make my tenth hardcover book about toys in the last five years. I have a long way to go before I overpower shelves! |
