This stems from the GI JOE Card Set Thread.
Would you buy a book, or poster book, of the toy art? Enlarged, one piece per page. Possibly back of page contains character/vehicle info, origins of design, sculpture and artist involved with design and creation, first appearance in other media, info from toy file card, and any other info relevant to said art. Much like the Ultimate guides, but directed specifically to the 'art' of GI JOE toys.

Right!?
Not sure if it's that they don't want the art to 'get out' or what, but feels like a no-brainer. The art is already covered and produced. And I doubt Hasbro 'rent's the rights, pretty damn sure they own it. So the content is written. Put two interns and two art directors on the layout... forward by Larry Hama. Books at 120-160 pages each. BAM! You could sell it for $25-$32 a pop and i'm not sure anyone would flinch.

Most definately, and a similar book for all of the g1 Transformers box art too.
I'd also like this book to present the art 'raw' (free from any logos and such) and a replicas of the card along side it.

I paid a good $50-$60 for the Transformers art book years ago that had mostly new art and Dreamwave art, if they made a book with all the card and packaging art from GI Joe, I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Yeah, I bought that because I thought it was the G1 box art - I was pretty disappointed with that book when it finally arrived.

see, 20 sales in 2 hours, Hasbro if you're watching, or Hisstank peeps who talk to HASBRO, even a limited run, say 15,000 copies, would sell. Even the non-collectors would pick this up for nostalgia.

also, if you do talk to Hasbro, a little kick-back, say three free issues, for 'conceptual consulting,' would be awesome.
