The Toy Collectors Wish Book Special Edition: G.I. Joe would never have been possible without your support, so thank you all so very much for making this project a reality!

TOYLANTA / POWER-CON 2025

I just returned from an AMAZING Toylanta / Power-Con this past weekend! A special thank you to everyone I had a chance to talk to. The support and encouragement I received at the show was so incredible! Also, I was honored to participate in this year’s authors and writers panel, which included R. Carson Mataxis, Joshua Sky, Michael Charles Hill, “Pixel Dan” Eardley, and myself. It was a great panel; I can’t believe how much fantastic information, stories, visual examples, and a few special announcements we successfully fit into one action-packed hour!

STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED!

I am excited to add approximately 6-8 pages covering the Sunbow / Marvel animated series (1983-1987). This will include the show’s history, primary characters’ military rank, and voice-acting cast. I am also working on lining up a possible special interview for this added chapter. There are no guarantees, but I’d love to make this happen, as I’ve recently stumbled across some great stories regarding the series’ development!

In addition, the stretch goals for the chapter covering the DIC (1988-1992) animated series and the premium first-printing exclusive slipcover case are also now unlocked. Yes, you made this happen, so thank you very much!

SO WHATS NEXT?

I must admit, I wasn’t expecting to run through all of the stretch goals so quickly. So, I am in the process of adding something special as an additional stretch goal and will make an announcement very soon. So stay tuned.

After the campaign, I will randomly post updates and share some work-in-progress pages exclusive to only Kickstarter backers as a thank-you for backing the campaign. I don’t want to spoil too much, but I will periodically share a few pages for those interested in following the book’s development process.
