Thats right! Here is what he told me...
Every DC action figure from Captain Action forward. The cut-off is just
prior to what was announced this summer at the cons.
Exclusions are PVC and non-articulated figures, foreign releases, and
fast-food tie-ins.
Just action figures for now.
I think we all will look forawrd to this!

I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. I love the other books that Scott has done and it was an honor to be a part of helping just a little bit with this project.
Thank You Scott!

I've ordered it but I've not yet received it. As soon I do I'll talk about it.
It was contributed to by Chris, Cale and Flabat - so I'm assuming it's best book on DC action figures ever!

I ordered mine from Amazon after I clicked on the link on BYTB, which helps the site out. It has not arrived yet, but I’ll let everybody know what’s going on with it.
I actually reworked my Excel spreadsheet that I use to keep track of my collection based on what additional information Scott wanted for his book. I had never kept track of “Variant Of” any of the figures before. I started to compare figures and see what molds were reused on which figures and which figures were all new molds. “Variant Of” then became a feature on BYTB’s Action Figure Database.
I also added figures that were part of a series that I did not have in my collection just to show all the figures of a given series so everything was included whether I had one or not.
I wonder if any figures will be missing from the book. I know a bunch came to market after the cut off, and I know I added a couple that I did not see in the first draft of the book.
I’m really looking forward to getting my copy. It was fun to work with Scott, Caleson and Chris on this project.

The DC Comics Action Figure Archive
By Scott Beatty
Chronicle Books, 208 pages, 2007
$40.00 U.S.
At last it is here! The definitive guide to over 1,400 DC Action Figures with over 600 color photographs. It’s just about everything you wanted to know about these DC characters and more.
Scott Beatty, no stranger to DC or toys has produced yet another fine work of reference literature. He includes Figure Name, Manufacturer, Release Date, Scale, Articulation, Accessories and Variants of the figures. He also sprinkles in short character bios on a lot of the characters.
A brief description and examples of articulation
Look closely there are BYTB’s very own Beyond, Caleson and FlaBat immortalized as “real-life action figures”
I got my copy from Amazon. There is a convenient link on the left side to click on to take right to it. I paid $26.40 for it.
