Four beloved toy characters—a robot, a blonde doll, a skeleton, and a soldier—stand side by side like classic attractions on display at an immersive Toyland exhibit, evoking nostalgia for iconic figures featured in the Netflix series The Toys That Made Us.

The Toys That Made Us, a new documentary series about the power of toys, arrives on Netflix later this week.

Created by Brian Volk-Weiss and directed by Tom Stern, the eight-episode series examines the influence of iconic toy franchises, including Star Wars, Barbie, and G.I. Joe. To celebrate the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” the show offered up a preview of their “Star Wars” episode.


A series trailer is also available on the Netflix website.

The first four episodes of “The Toys That Made Us” debut on Netflix on December 22, 2017, with another four arriving online in early 2018.
