COMPACT, CARRY ALONG BOOK, Jan 31 2006
By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warman's G.I. Joe Field Guide: Values and Identification (Paperback)
The Warman's G.I. Joe Field Guide is not a comprehensive, all-encompassing guide to G.I. Joe figures. Writer Karen O' Brien makes this clear in the introduction. Rather, this small (5" by 4") book serves as a convenient, pocket guide to G.I. Joe figures and accessories and includes hundreds of clear, vibrant photographs. It's the kind of book you can pack along easily when you travel to garage sales, flea markets, or collectibles shows. While it may not be exhaustive, there is still a lot packed into its 512 pages. O' Brien provides a brief history of the figure line and the opening section of photos display the various copyright marks and facial and uniform variations on the early figures.Some figures are show loose while others are show still in their original boxes. For pricing purposes, only a MIP price is given. Another plus is that O'Brien provides the Hasbro item number for the figure (although not accessory sets). Some of the rarest Joe figures are pictured including the Soldiers of the World sets, the rare Canadian Mountie Sears figure, and the Action Girl G.I. Nurse, valued at $4000, perhaps the rarest figure of all. The various adventure sets were always my favorite as a kid and the book includes photos of these great sets including the Secret of the Mummy's Tomb, White Tiger Hunt, and Fight for Survival dog sled set. You know I still have those plastic husky dogs over thirty years later!
The first 380 pages of the book are dedicated to the original G.I. Joe line while the last 130 pages are given over to the 3 " line. Only figures are pictured for the 3 " line, no vehicles or accessories are included. As a basic, carry along guide it serves its purpose well to provide some guidelines for pricing and identification. You can get more comprehensive guides but this fills the bill for being compact and inexpensive.

This review is from: Warman's G.I. Joe Field Guide: Values and Identification (Paperback)
This GI JOE book is alright for basic information and pictures of the figures and accessories available. I wish it had more detailed info about each piece and more pricing options. Other than that it is a good book.

Don't bother, Mar 17 2006
By Ernest Gerardot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warman's G.I. Joe Field Guide: Values and Identification (Paperback)
This guide is very incomplete! It only has the basic figures and uniforms only up to the 1990's even though it just came out in print in 2006.
Listmania!
