Action Figures
From Action Man to Zelda
«Books like this which are well-researched and provide much of the information enthusiasts need when pursuing their hobby and are a vital tool for the hobbyist, but sadly today, too many hobbyists would rather rely on the often shaky knowledge of others on the internet when what they need to know can invariably be found in a good book such as this. This is a rattling good read.»
