Rank & File 3 – A Guide To 4 Inch G.I.Joe Action Figures Official Press Release

Posted on May 28, 2017 at 10:37 am by C.I.A.D. under G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary, G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, G.I. Joe Movie, G.I. Joe Renegades, G.I. Joe Various

KuuKuuSon is by far the hardest working man in business. I mean, it’s the gentleman’s Birthday today (Happy Birthday, James!), but he still found the time to send out the official press release for Rank & File 3 – A Guide to Third-Generation 4” G.I. Joe Action Figures! Included with the press release are 5 pages from the book and the oh-so-awesome cover which you can check out after the break –

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 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.

    Rank & File 3 is almost here! Attached are a couple of sample images from the latest volume, along with a peek at the cover! You can still pick up other volumes on the R.A.H.C. Guide website (I still need R&F 1, but have RAHC Guide and R&F 2 and they're awesome reference guides!)

    Will you be picking this up once it's released?

    I bought volume 2 and emailed them through the site about buying a copy of volume one and never received a response. So if anyone is selling one let me know.

    R&F Vol 1 is sold out. Vol 3 is coming soon, so hopefully there's a surprise waiting for everyone at JoeCon.
