A long time product photographer of Hasbro tragically has developed ALS, and it is a crime because you know his work~! Every beautiful Xevoz package you every saw was a product of his work. In honor of that work, and to help raise money - the book is on sale at the HTS, and at the SDC this week. Shortly after it will go on sale at Amazon. www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=820&ID=24549My friend *$&%^# had an advance copy... while I looked through it he began to grin, and grin... and there it was... "That's Rockahuna..." "That's Ursa Major?!?!? WTF!?" 3 in all... none of the Xevoz photographed are of released figures. Instead of posting photos, I urge you to buy the book. it is FULL of the COOLEST xhit YOU EVER LOVED ABOUT Action Figures. Trust me. No coffee table should suffer to live without this book. |

yes, please buy his book. Gianni has amazing ideas and new techniques for shooting figures. In those days he was always patient with us while we balanced the test models on his lighting platform. He shot all the Xevoz, and tons of other great toys.

I'm going to have Snake Eyes advertise this book to help out. Xevoz was the greatest toy ever made and the fact that Gianni was a part of it makes it worthwhile to endorse.

Just got this in and I must say, it is great to finally see Ursa Khan and Glacier Scout. Along with Rockahuna, they are all great looking figures. Makes me want them all the more.
Plus its a great book besides those Xevoz pictures, especially if you're a general action figure fan. Would definitely recommend it.

I love to see a scan of Ursa Khan from someone here who has this book. I can't really put out the money for the picture

yeah, I heard the book was great, but don't want to pay that much for pictures of toys

Especially when it's only one toy I haven't seen thus far.

Hey Guys,
This book was to help raise money Gianni's family, if everyone starts passing out the photos for free, they'll stop getting any benefit from the proceeds. Please keep this in mind.
thanks!

FYI just to picture it in your mind, Ursa Khan used the body molds from the Hyper Guardian in a flesh tone, but with new feet and parts to make him into a clan/barbarian.

While that's a good cause, I just can't afford to spend $30 to $40 for a book that only has one picture in it that I want to see. Oh well, I'm sure a scan will eventually turn up online somewhere. |

Neat that they show pics of unreleased Xevoz, but with my income I can't pay $40 for a book to see a few pics. I will be patient and see them in the future, or when a friend owns the book.  |
