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!

Another Masterpiece!!

Volume 2 was just as good as the 1st one. I can't wait for the next book.

Great resource for any vintage 80s Toy Collector.

Both volumes are well done. I love the layout. Just when you think your collection is complete, these pages perfectly lay out all figures and vehicles and playsets with their accurate accessories and you have to kick yourself for not realizing something is missing in your set.

Wish book is a dream

This is a fantastic trip down memory lane. I used to covet the Sears wish books around this time of year and love having this on my shelf. It’s also a great reference volume and a good stand in for dropping tons of money recapturing the toys of youth. Please reprint volume one! Excited to snag volume 3 as well.
