Reviewer Comments:
Well the publishers blurb pretty much hits this one on the head. This is every toy and comic collectors dream. With a look into the Geppi's Entertainment Museum, this 271 hard cover monster gives you a glimpse of everything from old classic collectibles to the newer action figures and comics.
You'll see, Daredevil's premiere where he fights against Hitler, a Flash board game by Hasbro from 1967, even an entire section dedicated to Star Wars. Check it out and let the nostalgia flow!
