''The Toys That Made Us'' is a {{Documentary}} series by Brian Volk-Weiss.

The series explores the history of some of the most popular toy lines, ranging from how they first came into existence, the trials and opposition they faced in just getting off the ground, and the various incarnations they've had over the course of their timelines.

Originally made for only eight episodes, the show then got greenlit for a third season, and changed its intro accordingly.

The series debuted on Creator/{{Netflix}} on December 22nd, 2017.
