The Toy Box: Funko's World Of POP! Volume 1 Hardcover Book

Funko's World Of POP! Volume 1 Hardcover Book is Fantastic! This book made it's debut at SDCC this past July. It has over 100 pages filled with pictures of every POP! made or currently in production when the book was published. It comes in a resealable plastic bag so you can take it and out and keep dust out too. Prices range from $27.99-$39.99. This is great for both the hardcore & casual collector.

Here's a couple of pictures showing what it looks like when you open up the book. Certain pages will have awesome shots of 1 or 2 POP! figures in different settings or scenes.

I wish more companies would actually do this for their products. Funko did a spectacular job on this book.
