A first-of-its-kind art book highlighting a series of "lost" toy projects, mainly action figures, spanning three-plus decades. Written by journalist Blake Wright.

Stories are supplemented with supporting photographs of the production process

Stories have come straight from the men and women that lived them

VOLUME 1 is a 200-plus page, hardcover book that takes an in-depth look at over 20 instances of toy lines that made it through to a certain point in the development process, but for one reason or another never made it to store shelves. Stories are supplemented with supporting photographs of the production process, existing prototypes, control drawings used to create the sculpts, concept sketches and more. The stories (and supplemental materials) have come straight from the men and women that lived them - from inventors and sculptors to project managers and toy company executives - as well as from the uber-collectors that seek out and showcase these materials.

Did you know we almost got a lot more toys from the V mini-series back in the 1980s than we actually did? What about the ill-fated Tim Burton/Nic Cage Superman movie? Each section has entries representing a healthy mix of both licensed and inventor-based products... some of which again have never been seen by the public.
