The kickstarter for this project is now live here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/project...y-guide-vol-1-kenner-action-figures-1977-1985

I must say, this project looks terrific and so I have just backed it. As you might expect from a Kickstarter project, there are various levels of support you can pledge, but £75 + £15 p&P in the UK will get you a copy of the book if it reaches its funding target of £127,000 by 20th December 2020 (they're currently at £31,000 after just a couple of days), and the book itself has an estimated delivery date of March 2021.

Here's the promo video (and no, I'm not on any commission! :lol: )

As I have the Kellerman book I didn't feel that this one would be for me but after seeing the video and reading the KS I think I'm in for just one more guide book. Really impressive looking and I can imagine volume 2 will be equally as impressive if they get funded.

I'm blaming you Jeremy for this :lol:

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback here, very much appreciated. We are four days into the Kickstarter and 25% funded but still a long way to go!

We appeared Friday on Bossk's Bounty Live Stream for his YouTube channel to have a chat about the book and answer questions. Please take a look if you have the time:

Did the thing too, though I'm not really into carded stuff, but I love how this looks and I'm thinking part 2 might be MIB (here's to hoping). 8)

Should we be successful with this book, we plan to do volume two as Vehicle, Creatures and playsets with the same kind of treatment! Thanks for everyone's support!

Need to get over the hurdle of this campaign first. Worth watching the video interviews posted earlier particularly the Paliboys one at 00:13:30 as the card backs flowcharts are explained. Thanks

I really hope you do it, I have to say its not looking good at the moment it seems the core supporters have already backed you and your not even half way. Really unfortunate timing in the middle of a Pandemic and close to Christmas. Don't give up!
