I personally had been "slow" to these properties as my formative pre-teen-years were spent instead diving in comicbooks and anime/Ultraman shows on the telly, rather than the American-cartoons which spawned/were-spawned from these toys in the Western hemisphere. It was not until post-teen-near-adult where nerdom further-infested/ manifested within my geeklife, when I've then felt I "missed" out on a generation of toys described in this docus-series, and constantly kicking myself for "missing out" ever since! But that is my own burden to bear ... although, one can never be "too late" when it comes to celebrating the past, especially the #toylife!
