The quest to document the golden age of toys continues with The Toy Collectors Wish Book: Volume Two! Building upon the success of The Toy Collectors Wish Book: Volume One, toy enthusiasts now have a go-to resource to reference toy lines of the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and more—from those based on blockbuster films, to ones inspired by more obscure television shows.

This photographic guidebook combines the style of the classic holiday wish book with a modern collectors identification guide. Each chapter is thematically dressed with a beautiful signature image featuring the toy line, has individual product photos with detailed parts and accessories breakdowns, and tells the history of each line through the lens of the pop culture events of the time.

The Toy Collectors Wish Book: Volume Two includes 148 pages covering Tron (Tomy 1982); Dune (LJN 1984); DC Super Powers Collection (Kenner 1984 - 1986); MASK Kenner (1986 - 1988); BraveStarr (Mattel 1986) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (Galoob 1988).

The Toy Collectors Wish Book series will be your go-to reference guide for research, an aspirational wish list for your personal collection or your “collection in a book,” if you love the toys but lack the space.

Chose from a limited numbered hardcover (1-250), hardcover or softcover binding.

Each Volume Is Better Than The Last!

I backed Vol. 1 on Kickstarter and immediately ordered Vol. 2 once I was able to. The coverage on each line, from text to photos is unbeatable. It's great seeing the stuff I used to have, always wanted and in some cases, never knew was almost made! I've spread the word to others who were also impressed and would have already ordered Vol. 3 if it were showing up in the store!

Even more awesome than Vol. 1!!

MASK was my toy of choice when I was a kid and this is the first time I’ve seen the entirety of the line visualized in one place. Then you throw in Bravestar and Super-Powers?!!! What a great choice of toy lines to feature. Can’t wait for more volumes to include Starcom, Wheeled Warriors, Visionaries, Inhumanoids, Cops N’ Crooks, Dinoriders, Battle Beasts, MUSCLE, and maybe Playmates Star Trek (probably too vast). Keep up the awesome work!

This book is simply incredible

I just received my Toy Collectors Wish Book: Volume Two and am absolutely blown away by the attention to detail, extensive research and high quality photography that went into the making of this book. It's comprehensive to the extent that international variations, unproduced figures, interviews with creators and essays on the toy line histories are all included.

The book exceeds my expectations in every way possible, and I can't think of a single thing that I would suggest as an improvement. It will certainly be an essential resource for collectors, and I know I will enjoy it for many years to come as a treasured part of my collection.

A wonderful experience.

The Toy Collectors Wish Book Volume Two is exactly what is says it is. Thumbing through those pages as I did for department store catalogs so many years brought up wonderful memories.
