DVD Reviews
I really enjoyed watching this set. I hadn't
seen it when it came out on Netflix, so it was nice to have
the DVD to catch up. I grew up poor, so I didn't have most
of these toys. I really wanted a Barbie doll when I was a
child (in the 1960's), but I never got one. I got a cheap
knockoff that my brother brought me. It was Hawaiian and had
brown skin and hair. I did love it, but I knew it wasn't
Barbie! I'm sure that some other kid I knew had a Barbie, or
I saw the commercials on TV. I loved hearing all about
Barbie's history.
I was also a huge Star Trek and Star Star
Wars fan, so I enjoyed hearing about those toys as well.
I've collected many figures and other collectibles for both
of those. I even learned some new things about them that I
didn't know. I don't watch very many non-fiction
shows, but this one was well worth watching.
The whole series is interesting, no matter
which toys you liked or when you grew up. I hope they make
more of the series. This DVD set would definitely be a
great set for anyone of any age, especially those who grew
up in the 60's through 80's.
There weren't many bonus features, but I
didn't really expect them with this small set. I guess if
you buy it in a store, you get the bonus toy. I didn't get
that toy, either! I guess I'll just have to go out and buy
my own.
