Hey everyone! I hope you won't mind me popping in here to give a few more details about the
To Boldly Go Figure book mentioned up thread. I understand links to fundraisers aren't allowed, but I'm sure you can work out where to find us!
We produced a book last year covering the
Doctor Who action figures from Character Options, and we've just launched the Kickstarter for the next volume, taking in the Playmates 4.5" figures (both the original 1990s ones and the short-lived recent revival). Brand new high resolution photography for every figure, variants, playsets, shuttle craft... it's a beautiful tome if I say so myself, with newly-written information for every figure. Also an incredibly useful reference for which accessories pair with which figures; if you're anything like me then they've all ended up in the same box over the years...!
We've been working away on this for the last eight months, and it's very much a "by the fans, for the fans" project. We're especially thrilled to have tracked down all the rarest figures (most of which, to be fair, were already in the collection of our editor), and we've managed to get shots both in and out of packaging for a number of figures. We're also in discussions with fans about including some prototype figures, as those went down
very well in the
Doctor Who edition.
As I say, I hope you won't mind my popping in to share this with you all - I hope you'll check it out, we're currently 25% funded with just over three weeks to go, so all to play for! There's various cover options available at different levels, including some bespoke 1-of-1 covers, for a truly unique edition (and mostly because I was determined to get an Andorian on a cover
somewhere).
