For any toy collector or '80s kid out there, few streaming documentaries can match the appeal of Netflix's The Toys That Made Us. Each episode of the series digs deep into the history and pop culture impact of iconic toylines like Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you're having trouble waiting for new seasons of the series to debut, there's a new outlet. Oni Press and The Nacelle Company have teamed up to produce The Art of The Toys That Made Us.
The Art of The Toys That Made Us is a two-volume set of slipcase hardcover editions that spotlights the artwork, advertising, and concept designs of the toy brands featured on the series. In addition to the books themselves, the Kickstarter campaign also features optional bonuses like enamel pins, nylon wallets, lunchboxes, and trucker hats.
This Kickstarter campaign also includes another hardcover book of special interest to toy collectors. Nacelleverse: Year Zero collects all of the early comics that make up the shared universe known as the Nacelleverse. That shared universe brings together franchises like Biker Mice From Mars, RoboForce, Secaturs, Power Lords, and C.O.W.–Boys of Moo Mesa.
