The Toys that Made Us (Netflix Series)

I tried to watch it and quickly realized I'm not enough of a nerd to sit through an entire episode of people talking about toys. It does seem like a good watch for anyone into that sort of thing, though.

Binged it. Loved it.

Especially with how they came up with Battle Cat

I like the episodes. There are suppose to be more coming this month.

Anyone watch this?

Uh yeah. It was fricking awesome and I may watch the He-Man one again. I skipped Barbie but I'll probably watch it too.

I loved it. Perfect length for each episode too. Star Wars felt like the most informative, He-Man the funniest and GI-Joe was the one that I actually could've watched at least another hour on.

Have they listed who the next four are yet?

I'm guessing Transformers, Cabbage Patch, Care Bears and its a toss up on number 4. Thundercats? MASK? Superpowers? My Little Pony(That would make 3 of the 4 girl toys though).

I hope its not TMNT. They weren't really 80's toys.

That he-man crew was the shite

And that Barbi lady who sent in the undercover operatives to find out about Jem was a badas.

And Kenner was a dumbass for not writing that $10k check to Lucas

There was a thread of people arguing about if or did star wars take a step back in its cultural popularity and the star wars episode essentially confirms there was a "dark period" where kids didnt buy or care about star wars. Pretty good episode.

I watched the Star Wars one last night and really enjoyed it. Its crazy what Kenner managed to pull off (and at a crazy price) and then how Mattel managed to botch everything over a $10,000 payment

Star Wars and He-MAN episodes were top notch. So much in my time frame. Wonder if they are going to do one on those trucks that were huge, Stompers!

Do they talk about Mighty Max

I watched the Masters of the universe one finally. Wow! Very entertaining and it was crazy seeing all the toys I had growing up. Made me sad that Katrina took those damn things!
