The Kickstarter campaign for 3.75″ Joe: Creating G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero is ending in 16 hours and is still shy of it’s target goal by a little over $2,000.00. If you haven’t backed this project yet, then there’s no better time than now!
DansJoes.com has been posting steady updates on the project page, but to refresh your memory, here’s the scoop –
The first book in the series, “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero (Volume 1)” is an 80 page, 9”X10” library of designs and stories ranging from 1982-1994, including some unproduced concepts! This fully colored book will be printed on 100# paper in a Soft Perfect Bind format with a visible spine like a graphic novel.
Although there have been many books written about G.I. Joe®, what makes “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero” series unique is the fact that the information shared within the book comes from exclusive interviews with former employees who worked on the G.I. Joe® brand. Some of the things to expect include:
• The inspiration and influences behind the different figures and vehicles straight from the designers’ point of view…
• Alternate names for figures and vehicles pulled from Larry Hama’s dossiers or from the original concepts themselves…
• Insider stories from former employees ranging from Marketing to Engineering regarding the changes that occurred during the design process…
• Conceptual designs and photographs that will show the progression and different stages of creating a figure or vehicle. This includes concept pencils and inks, sculpture sheets, color studies, color presentation art, models, and much much more!
With over $2,000 to go, the goal is easily reachable, so make sure to add this book to your G.I.Joe collection by backing it today!
