Well I'll be darned, we were just talking about this at Comic-Con last year, and now he's gone and done it. I'll wait to see the layout before I decide, but I'm not unlikely to get this.

I've always loved the Action Figure Archive, and still use it regularly as reference, so hopefully this is along those lines. I like the idea of comparing the different versions of the same character - it sounds a little like some of the Lego character encyclopedia-type books, but more relevant to my collecting interests.

If they update the AFA numbering system for Prequel and CW figs, I'd get it just for that.

Numbering system? They didn't number the figures in that book, so I'm not sure what you mean.
