The adventure continues to evolve in Rank & File — A Guide to Third-Generation 4” G.I. Joe Action Figures!

After a brief hiatus in 2006 that allowed G.I. Joe to flourish in other areas, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero went in a new stylistic direction that is still predominately used today! Not only did fans get to revisit some of their most cherished icons within the G.I. Joe mythos, they were also introduced to new characters that are now known and loved.

The Rank & File guide volume 3 displays every G.I. Joe action figure produced between the Celebrating 30 Years of A Real American Hero / Renegades, Retaliation, 50, and Basic G.I. Joe Asst. series, complete with every accessory and variation produced. Not only are the accessories shown, they were carefully cataloged in an upcoming volume that will guarantee the proper shade of accessory goes to the appropriate action figure. To top it off, every vehicle and playset released in the 4" era is documented and every easily removable piece is shown individually photographed —ensuring collector completion.

This full color, forty-eight page resource manual beautifully illustrates the four series' 148 action figures, twenty-two vehicles and every accessory, including all known variations. Not only is every accessory present and accounted for, they have each been assigned a unique number and identified throughout the resource guide. Each action figure was carefully examined between its initial run and any further re-releases to ensure accurate samples are clearly and concisely presented, perfect for the collector who is identifying individual action figures or sorting through unorganized lots.

Whether you are a seasoned or rejuvenated collector, enthusiast, or toy vendor, the Rank & File series is the decisive compilation for G.I. Joe action figures, vehicles, and playsets produced from 2007 to today. Let the Rank & File guides serve as a reference for completion or a scrapbook to the next big turning point of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.

Basic Information

The MSRP for The Rank & File guide Volume 3 is $20 and available at http://www.rahcguide.com. Buyer will pay all additional shipping and handling costs. If you have purchased the R.A.H.C. guides before, the process will be very similar. This guide was self-published and produced in quantities reflecting previous sales so do not hesitate in ordering if owning a guide is a priority.

If nothing else it will help when you get a lot from someone and need to figure out where all the accessories come from.

True. That is amazing detail and organization.

Thanks for the kind words! The guide will be available at con and then made available on the website once I return and get situated. The joys of checking the commando box on Matt and Chad's Steel Brigade forms. I thought it meant something else...

One of the few aspects of the R.A.H.C. Guide I can't help but tout is the accessory section. This was totally geared towards customizers and Joe Customs and attached is the first ever preview of volume 5. This will finally make sense of the volumes' number use. It's almost an insatiable beast because, as more product comes out, more must be added. This is the layout and it is current as of 2014 (my original, large one volume guide intentions). I hope it excites everyone for what is to eventually come!

This is the first time any part of volume 5 has been showcased on the interwebz. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone attending con and those at home will be missed.

(who am I kidding, I mostly stop by to play with the emojis.) :airwave: :brawlin: :hawk2: :hawg: :homeslice:

File comment: Blame John for the smaller size (exceeded size limits). I get that a lot.

I will be getting one as soon as they are available to be purchased.

So glad we have people providing these types of resources to collectors and customizers.

I'm glad you're stoked for Volume 5. Even I get a little teary eyed when I see the file. :funskool_windmill: :shipwreck:

If volume 3 is available after the Con, and this is a preview for Volume 5, what happened to volume 4?

I could be remembering wrong but I believe vol 4. was going to be for the JoeCon/Club figures?
