Star Wars: the Action Figure Archive

"Kick ass!" as Cartman might say. This new collectibles book by Eimei Takeda and Seiji Takahashi is probably the best action figure book ever. Don't believe me? Take a look at some sample pages. Fun facts: ISBN 4-87366-512-4. The prices is listed as 2667 yen, or about 26 bucks. This is listed as Neko Mook 12. A "mook," as far as I can tell, is a fancy square-bound magazine or periodical. Would love to see the other mooks in this series.

Early bird kit

Features pictures of telescoping Luke, Ben and Vader.

Star Wars Boba Fett

Including, need I add, rocketfett.

POTF2 Boba Fett

This book even makes POTF2 look good! Imagine, there's a page like this for every single action figure in the lines, old and new!

B-Wing

This is from the "but wait--there's more" section in the back: every single ship, playset, and accessory, shot from every conceivable angle.

Unproduced prototypes

There's even a section on protos.

Other Star Wars from Japan

Darth Vader tin toy

I usually steer clear from that limited, numbered crap, but this guy is cool! Here's a shot of the old Dark Lord of Sith loose. There is also a C3PO in this series, which my charming but forgetful husband seems to have misplaced in storage.

Star Wars UFO catchers

Awwww! It's the cuuuute little Darf Bader and Chewie wif his widdle fangs. My darling compulsive husband hasn't taken them out of the plastic yet, so here's a glimpse at the other side.
