This 57 page paperback edition of She-ra toys is well worth the pricey tag that comes along with it-at first i was disappointed with the amount of pages for a $30dollar bookBUT almost every single page is colored-and there are excellent pictures of every She-ra MOTU character including crystal castle and the extra outfits and comic books.Each of the characters has a page dedicated to themin colorand a SMALL description of each; including what makes them more valuable and variations between year releases. Then there is a box to the right of the picture with a average price for a NIP (new in package), complete (with accessories etc), and loose (the figurine without all clothes/swords/etc). At the end of the book is one page dedicated to the Horde characters (minus Cat-ra & Entrapta who each had their own page). There are not prices for the Horde characters.
Some of the action figures are missing their accesories in the pictures but overall they are completea couple of them shown are NIP as well.
DePino also provides a concise introduction worthy of a standing ovation. I loved this guide and read it from front to back. I would recommened the book to She-ra collectors as well as Children/Teens of the 80s who had anything to do with these charactersa nice item to have and read.
The price guide is excellent; it gives full information for each action figure/accessory/playset, including alternates and variations. Values are given for "Mint in Package", "Complete", and "Loose" conditions. Information is also given on some prototypes that were never released.
Some of the pictures are not the best quality, but they provide what they are meant to provide. Overall, this book is an excellent buy for any She-Ra collector!What an awesome book! Hillary DePiano has compiled an unbelievably thorough inventory of all the Princess of Power toys and related accessories that were released in conjunction with the She-Ra cartoon. "The She-Ra Collector's Inventory" features an introduction that summarizes the creation of the He-Man and She-Ra toy lines and cartoons. There is a page devoted to every She-Ra action figure that was ever released. In addition to photos of each action figure, DePiano also gives a brief description of each character and the special features of each toy (mobility, accessories, collector's pricing guide, etc.). There are also photos and descriptions of She-Ra playsets, books, fashion accessories, and other Princess of Power merchandise.
This is an amazing book for anyone who is a serious She-Ra fan. I was a huge fan of the She-Ra cartoon when I was a child and I owned many of the different action figures and toys that are featured in this book. Sadly, most of those toys were lost or thrown out a long time ago, but now I can pick up this book and fondly remember all the fun my sister and I had playing with our She-Ra and Glimmer action figures and the Crystal Castle and Crystal Falls playsets. Those are some of the best memories of my childhood, and now they're all available in this fabulous little book!
Some people have complained that this book is too pricey. I think die-hard She-Ra fans will gladly shell out the money for a book as awesome as this! The only disappointment I had is that the book is almost more like a pamphlet because the cover is so flimsy. Maybe DePiano will consider releasing a hardcover edition that includes info on all the She-Ra DVDs that are in the process of being released.
If you loved She-Ra as a child, you really need to buy this book. It's the next best thing to owning every single She-Ra action figure that ever existed...and how many people actually have all that stuff?! NONE! Buy this book...you'll be so glad you did!Excellent buy for any type of She-Ra collector!!!!!
The first comprehensive guide I have ever seen on the entire toy line. Pictures for all figures/playsets and accessories. Excellent listing for each figure of complete contents including the comic. Pictures of entire clothing line and even the covers of comics enclosed with the figures.
Descriptions of the figures and accessories help lend insight to the collection for the newer collector, and help for identification for the more experienced collector.
I have been a She-Ra fan since the toys first came out and would highly recommend this book for everyone who is a fan of the series."The She-Ra Collector's Inventory" is a nicely done book on the various items that Mattel produced toy-wise for the She-Ra, Princess of Power line. All pictures are in color, although some seem a bit fuzzy. All items are listed, along with accessories that came with them. The author includes price guides for all the items as well. This is a great little book for those starting to collect She-Ra figures or for those who just want to remember some of their favorite toys. I recommend buying this book. It is definetely worth it!
