Since before World War Two manufacturers of toys and games have sought to cash in on the popularity of children's films and radio and television programmes by producing toys relating to them. This book offers collectors and potential collectors a guide to what is out there, from Pinky and Perky puppets and Thunderbirds spaceships, to the huge number of toys and games that have been spawned by the James Bond and Star Wars films. Arranged in chronological order by decade, the book concentrates on the great collectables from the 1960s, 70s and 80s. It also includes a guide to collectables of the future. AUTHOR: Arthur Ward is a collector and writer. He is the founder of www.collectingfriends.com, an online collector's community and marketplace. 250 colour photographs
