4.0 out of 5 stars Go Figure!, 10 Jul 1999

By A Customer

As a rule I don't usually buy refernce books, but after a quick flick through this one I could see that it would be worth parting with the necessary cash!

Lavishly illustrated, the Action Figure Archive is a near complete record of all the original Star Wars trilogy figures, ships and creatures ever issued. The book contains full colour pictures of each figure along with notes about it's production and the different variants made.

This makes it a must for most collectors, but it is also a fascinating read for the average fan as it has also been packed full of rare titbits of information about the trilogy itself (such as unused publicity photos and shots of scenes that were cut from the final release of all three films).

My only nitpick with the book, if there must be one, is the font that has been used for the footnotes looks as though it has come from a ten year old printer. But this is a minor quible about an otherwise excellently presented book.

At the end of the day the real fun comes from flicking through the book and pointing out a particular figure and saying "I had that one!". I wish I still did....

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing!, 25 Nov 2007

By	D�TK�M (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I know this review is a bit late - I only purchased the book a few days ago!
It's amazing!
The photographs of the figures and playsets are spectacular and provide you with different angles and shots of the details.The information that accompanies the photographs is detailed and interesting.
If your a Star Wars collector you will be drooling over this book at the wonderful figures.Once again Sansweet shares his great knowledge of the Star Wars universe with us.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Any Star Wars Fan, 22 Sep 1999

By A Customer

A bible of a book. This definitive reference book will give you an insight into collecting Star Wars Action figures, telling you whats rare and whats common. It even gives the bar code reading for the figures, indicating what production batch they were in. The whole book is full of quality glossy pictures that you will want to refer to time and time again. The written material is also very clear and conscisive. A must for any true Star Wars Action figure collector.
