Toy Collecting Must Have, Mar 19 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: GI Joe(TM) and Other Backyard Heroes 1970-1979 (Paperback)
Anyone who collects action figures from the 1970's needs this book. Anyone who HAD action figures in the 1970's needs this book. Lots of pictures, lots of price values, and lots of information. Not just a price value or pictorial guide, the text is surprisingly fun to read with Marshall's oddly biting humor and obvious genuine fascination with the subject matter.

Informative, funny, incredible photos!, Mar 3 1999
By Steven A. Ross "Mr Maskrado" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: GI Joe(TM) and Other Backyard Heroes 1970-1979 (Paperback)
The first of a trilogy by John Marshall (he has two other, similar books; one about 60's toys, the other about the 80's), this is the one closest to my heart. ALL of the toys I collected as a kid are either pictured or mentioned. He must be around my age, because his memories of buying and playing with his toys somewhat mirror my own (and that's what collecting is all about; NOSTALGIA, not values and prices...right? RIGHT!?).More than just a price guide, this book is a funny, informative walk down memory lane that would make a great gift for any boy who played with toys in the seventies.
PS. His chapter on the Micronauts is worth the price of the book!

Adventure Team - GI Joe's Golden Era, Sep 11 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: GI Joe(TM) and Other Backyard Heroes 1970-1979 (Paperback)
For those of us that grew up in the 1970's The Adventure Team is the crowning glory of GI Joe. John's book is the only book on GI Joe written from the perspective of an Adventure Team fan. If you are a fan of the Fuzzy Head guys this is a must buy. No collection of hammerhead sharks, giant spiders or Kung Fu Grip is complete without this book.
