Overview

While the 1980s was a decade full of political turmoil, it was also a time when toy lines reigned supreme. Many kids from this generation found comfort in the wildly popular G.I. Joe universe--whether it be through a cartoon or an action figure. As G.I. Joe's stories expanded, so did its characters, and everyone had their favorite; be it Hawk and Duke fighting against evil or Cobra Commander and Destro bent on nothing less than world domination. For the first time ever, all the characters from the G.I. Joe multiverses--even those who appeared in markets outside of the U.S.--are gathered together in one location. Presented in field guide format, this book includes a history of the toy and comic lines as well as a thorough description of every action figure and character from the Cobra and G.I. Joe animated films, comics, and Hasbro-authorized fan fiction. With the addition of photographs from the private collection of Tommy Wyckoff, this book is a must-have for toy collectors and a chance for long-time G.I. Joe fans to recapture their favorite memories.
