Affiliate Link – Transformers Legacy: A Celebration of Transformers Package Art
It’s May, which means that Transformers Legacy: A Celebration of Transformers Package Art* should be shipping any day now. This 300 page book of Transformers packaging artwork is already pre-ordered and now I’m stuck waiting . . . and waiting and waiting and waiting and . . . I hate waiting.
Remember the thrill of tearing open a gift on Christmas morning, discovering a brand-new Transformer in a shiny new box? While the toys were amazing in their own right, what made the packages stand head-and-shoulders above the myriad competing action figures on shelves was the stunning box art. Transformers: Legacy collects hundreds of beautifully airbrushed paintings from the iconic first decade of The Transformers. Hasbro, Takara, and private collectors opened their archives, yielding an unparalled level of quality. Essays and interviews from the original illustrators give unprecedented insight into the process behind the art. This book is chock-full of extras, including never-before-seen artwork from toys that never were, original design sketches, catalog artwork, and more.

@clark – There are rumors a similar book for G.I. Joe is in the works. I’m hoping the rumors are true.
