Summary of The DC Comics Action Figure Archive
Amazon Best of the Month, January 2008: Looking for a one-stop tome chronicling every DC figure ever produced? In The DC Comics Action Figure Archive, 1,400 characters line the pages in 600 full-color photos with every release date, variant, and accessory included. Batman alone takes up 25 pages with Superman commanding 11 (and one tiny corner for Beppo the Supermonkey). You can pore through every page in A-to-Z fashion (Ace the Bat-Hound to Zauriel) or flip randomly throughout to land on welcome surprises like a pistol-packing Mad Hatter, Solomon Grundy (DC Comics' only zombie action figure), Spider Jerusalem (whose accessories include a two-headed cat), and a red-and-black jump-suit clad fellow known as Elongated Man. The book serves as the ultimate wish list for fanboys while doubling as a rock-'em-sock-'em pop-culture-packed coffee table book. Shazam! --Brad Thomas ParsonsFor the legions that collect the immensely popular DC Comics action figures, we have good news: the official visual compendium of more than 1,400 characters has finally arrived. The DC Comics Action Figure Archive is the definitive reference for the serious enthusiast. Assembled by lead collector Scott Beatty and the experts at DC Comics, this sturdy hardcover features more than 600 full-color photographs and an easily navigable A-to-Z structure. Here, too, are previously impossible-to-find release dates, variants and "redecoes," as well as detailed information on action figure scales and articulation points. From Ace the Bat-Hound to Zauriel, with lots of Batman and Superman in-between, this collector's must-have guide doesn't miss a beat.
