    ¿More to come?

    I will love if you include Yu Gi Oh, DBZ, Pokémon, the new Funko POP audience, beyblades, medabots, DC and Marvel hot toys and collectables from videogames and movies, etc

    "A WORLD OF TOYS FOR SO MUCH CONTENT THAT IS ON YOUTUBE SO YOU CAN DO BETTER".

    With the detailed research you made in the 3 seasons I think it'll be awesome.

    Great show but...

    The editing and the narrator are so corny and almost unbearable.

    Very interesting documentary about the psychology of the toy industry

    I liked best the episode about He- Man. The makers state that they knew that they had a totally ingenious idea and tyhat the kids would not stand a chance when He-Man shouted "I have the power!" And they are totally right, because I remember back when I was a kid in the 80's and play fought with my brother I would pretend I was He-Man and shout the same thing. The good thing about this documentary is that we get the inside story on how the figures and dolls were made and then we also get to see how in the end sales figures dropped and they entered obscurity. Of course among collectors many of them still are treasured.

    Nostalgia can last a lifetime

    12/29/17. Maybe 3 1/2 stars! An enjoyable look at how much strategic planning goes into creating a successful toy franchises! Many times we only link toys to our childhood, but the memories of childhood can last a long time when it is associated with a toy we loved! Worth catching. A fun watch!

    These Toys DID Make My Generation

    I grew up on all of these toys and shows. I grew up collecting Barbie, and many of the Barbies I had show up in that episode. My brothers and I grew up collecting and watching Star Wars. Same with He-Man and G.I. Joe. It's fun seeing how the success of these toy lines came about.

    My generation is busily building entertainment for the generations to come. So these shows show critical information on the formation of the current culture. I found these episodes fascinating. I love that they feature the people who were originally involved in the creation of these toys. I can feel their enthusiasm and passion. They're fun, quick, and compelling. I'd happily watch as many as they make. As Martin Hafer says, the intro is a bit silly, but I highly recommend these shows.
