    I would like to assume that making this documentary is hard to do.
    Setting up scheduled interviews, editing, etc...

    Yeah, I was under impression that they'll release all 8 episodes at one go.
    But I'm kinda off-guard when they divided the releases in 2 batches.

    Not too long to wait now! I haven't checked out any of the other episodes in this series but I'm really looking forward to this one. Hopefully we get a new MP reveal right around the same time (like last year) to celebrate :thumb

    I strongly recommend them, I never knew they made a barbie that you can turn her arm to make her breasts change size or that they still can’t decide who created he-man.

    30 more days.. Arrrghhhh..
    Wait.. Star Trek? I can't remember Star Trek toys invading our toy stores (here in our country) in my younger years.

    I hope for season 2, they'll explore articulated super hero action figures

    ...star trek, really?!.no, just - no, star trek toys didn't make anyone...i collected star trek toys through the mego, galoob, and playmates eras, and even that awkward in-between stage in the early eighties, and nobody sufficiently invested themselves in those toylines to be made by them...

    ...cool collectibles, but lifestyle-focus toys they were not...

    I wonder if it’s just G1, or all eras?

    They better not give Beast Wars the shaft or I swear... :mad:

    Look at the current shows. Just how much did they talk about non-vintage Star Wars & non-ARAH GIJoe? Minor mention at best. Don't expect the Transformers episode to be that different. If anything, the movie line will get mentioned the most outside of G1.

    So does the show premiere at midnight the 25th, in that you can watch it real late the night before?? I’d love to smash a few brewskis and make this appointment viewing! :)

    Curious as to what they will talk about though. This is gonna be the first time I'll be checking out the series. Hopefully they go over EVERY franchise like from G1, Bayformers, Unicron Trilogy, Animated , Beast Wars, and the Aligned Continuity. Please do talk about Animated. :D

    I'm guessing, same as Star Wars and GI Joe, the focus will be on G1 with a small bit about the later series'.

    Awesome. This series has been amazing. Even the Barbie episode had me gripped. Can’t wait to see their take on Transformers.

    YASSSS. Can't freaking wait for this!

    The entire show so far has been amazing, but the MOTU and Barbie stuff definitely was the best. Both offered an amazing insight into Mattel and how fucking bonkers that company is as a whole.

    Nice to have a date now. Was tired of checking Netflix every Friday.

    No way they can cover every era in one ep, so i hope they do a part 2 to some of these down the road.
