This project looks awesome and I hope it gets the community support it needs to fund. Good Luck!

I'd support it if I hadn't already bought all the volumes individually. I hope there are plenty of fans who missed on that & fund this because it's pretty terrific.

I had no idea the individual volumes existed. Anyway, BACKED!

I'm thinking of backing this, but to those who saw the original, does the book have the front and back of each figure card and the entire wrap around for the vehicles? Or is it just the front of the cards and the front of the boxes?

I wouldn't say "just" but the book I have from 3DJoes features the faces of the packaging as they would appear in a perfectly arranged toy store. We don't see the backs. Figure card art shows the action figures in their bubble-holders too, including on vehicles where we could see the figure or a picture of the figure. There are also collected artwork of posters, (not comic) books, lunch boxes, etc. To say it's an impressive collection is a real understatement.

EDIT: The project has also been almost completely backed in under 90 mins.

I have backed and purchased every one of these and have never regretted it. They are always magnificent, and of the highest quality print and material.

As TheOverlordCorp just mentioned, the previous book collections have only featured the front of each figure card or vehicle box, because they really tend to focus mostly on the oil paintings of the packaging, but also the artwork featured on other items and promotional materials. The foreign artwork exclusive to certain countries is particularly interesting.

When considering the price of this book and shipping, it costs me under 25 cents a page. That is a great bargain, so I backed this immediately!

Can't wait to get mine.

Yeah I wish Carson the best and with all the new faces there should be enough to fund it. I just already bought the smaller format and love it.

Bought the individuals AND backed the hardcover now
