Product Description
Product Description
In this publication, the author reveals the secrets of "Action Man" as a collectable toy, particularly with regard to its rarity and value. He also explains this toy in a way which people can easily understand. There are nearly 800 illustrations covering the subject of "Action Man" in this book - over 600 of these are in full colour. Together with these pictures there are precise various Action Man items which have been produced over a 30 year period, 1966-1996. Each section of years introduces the "Action Men" from that period and illustrates the figures on sales. The "Action Man" vehicles, accessories, miscellaneous, instant rarity and value guide are also included.
From the Publisher
An authoritative work on the subject of Action Man.
The publisher, Cairo Café Publications, would like to point out that Kevin King has made every possible effort to portray in the book both through the text and the pictures an accurate account of Action Man in the years 1966–1996. Kevin King is an experienced Action Man collector of twelve years standing who lives in the UK and who has an excellent knowledge of this British collectable toy. By a ‘definitive’ book the author means that every doll, outfit, vehicle and accessory produced in a thirty year period is included in this one volume. Furthermore, this book provides what no other on the subject has attempted to for the public which is to include a very much sought after ‘rarity and price guide’ for Action Man items. The author states that that he has chosen to place the emphasis of the book on showing Action Man items out of their boxes as this allows for a better appreciation of the dressed dolls in particular. This speaks for itself — careful research indicated that most people were interested in seeing clear pictures of the dolls and other Action Man items out of their boxes. This does not mean that boxed and packaged Action Man items are excluded from the book — seventeen full pages are, in fact, dedicated to showing boxed and packaged Action Man items. The section on restoration and cleaning dolls and outfits gives information that is both helpful and useful and is yet another area which has not been covered at all in any other book on Action Man.
