It seemed like a good time for another sneak peek at the book. Pictured above is the intro (splash) page for the Green Goblin chapter. Enjoy, all you Foes and Gals!

Nearly every character in the book has a special section, which I have dubbed the “Frog Diagram.” In each character chapter, there is a large picture of the character, surrounded by numerous insets that break down the figures’ accessories… making particular note of accessory variations. I call it the “Frog Diagram,” because it reminded me of the frog dissections many of us enduring during 8th grade biology class.
Anyway, I thought I’d share the incredibly disquieting labor that goes into creating such a section. Naturally, I endeavor to photograph the finest specimens I possibly can. This occasionally requires the complete disassembly of a mint — often never-removed-from-box — Mego Super-Hero from my own collection.
This is heart-wrenching stuff. I handle my figures with absolute kid gloves. I am extremely cautious and gentle. But that doesn’t slow my heart rate as I work to decapitate a Super-Gal, only to find that the dreaded ‘neck melt’ has snagged a good portion of rooted hair in its sticky snare.
Before painstakingly reconstructing this figure to its original state, I thought I’d snap a picture of the wreckage that is… the Frog Diagram.
Man, I sure hope you guys dig this book. I’ve taken a lot of risks in putting together the best guide possible!
