The TVI Take

Netflix documentary about iconic toy lines — Star Wars, Barbie, G.I. Joe, He-Man.

Educational about toy design, marketing, and manufacturing. Cultural history through consumer products. More substantive than its premise suggests — the business history of these brands is genuinely interesting.
