You know, you love them … and, above all else, you must collect them all!
It feels like only yesterday when director, producer, and Nacelle Company founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss had an idea that would finally bring his lifelong love of toys and collectibles rocketing off the shelf and onto television screens around the world.
What if there was a television series that, at last, could chronicle the untold stories behind some of the biggest and most beloved blockbuster toy lines ever made? The behind-the-scenes origin stories of the action figures, dolls, playsets and race cars that entertained millions … and the trials of the often-unsung creative visionaries that first brought them to life? The genesis of the now-iconic brands that first turned afternoon playtime into a lifelong obsession?
That show could only be called THE TOYS THAT MADE US – and, now, after three hit seasons on Netflix (with a fourth and fifth on the way), it’s a worldwide, global phenomenon that has finally immortalized the definitive histories of the toy industry’s biggest legends and earned near-universal acclaim from a whole new generation of collectors and toy aficionados.
Now, after partnering with groundbreaking graphic novel publisher Oni Press on its own best-selling line of NacelleVerse comics, Oni and Nacelle are proud to reveal a brand-new collaboration: THE ART OF THE TOYS THAT MADE US – a dazzling two-volume set of masterfully designed, deeply researched art books capturing the instantly recognizable designs, artwork, advertising, concept art, and more from the brands behind Nacelle’s instantly iconic streaming sensation in deluxe, oversized (10” x 12”) hardcover packages.
Packed with artwork, stories, and behind-the-scenes details assembled from THE TOYS MADE US archives, this two-volume set is the ultimate accessory for the toy brands you know and love! Clocking in at roughly 250 pages each, this deluxe hardcover art book set will take an eye-popping look at the world-class brands and awe-inspiring iconography that define THE TOYS THAT MADE US.
As of August 4th, this project has raised $91,000 of their $5,000 goal. This project has 17 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $50, you will get digital PDF’s. For a pledge of $120, you will get one book set. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onipress/art-of-the-toys-that-made-us?
