85. Exploring The Stories Behind The Kenner And Hasbro Toys: The Vintage Collection Archive Book!

In The Vintage Collection Archive, authors Rich Alot, D. Martin Myatt, and former Hasbro VP Derryl DePriest crafted the definitive guide for the line: carefully curated and setting a new standard for a Star Wars collector resource. The writing is superb, the commentary by the Hasbro team is insightful, and the images are truly striking. But it’s greatest secret? The behind-the-scenes information that spills from every one of the more than 350 gorgeous pages. Which figure did George Lucas and Dave Filoni play a part in designing? Which Kenner mistakes were purposefully included in the updated Hasbro cardback art? And what did Hasbro do to continue the line, after the company exceeded its tooling budget during the first year? In covering Hasbro’s The Vintage Collection action figure line, the book delves into the stories behind the figures, playsets, and vehicles, but it also shines a light on the Kenner toys on which much of the iconic packaging, art and designs are based. Join host David Quinn as he explores The Vintage Collection Archive Edition and shares some fascinating facts about the history of The Vintage Collection, the modern lines and the Kenner figures that started it all.
