We'll discuss the standout films, directors, and the lasting impact these movies have had on pop culture. ๐Ÿงธ Toys: The 80s introduced us to legendary toy lines like Transformers, G.I.

We'll explore the evolution of toy technology and the trends that defined childhoods across two generations. ๐ŸŽต Music: The 80s were dominated by the rise of synth-pop, hair metal, and iconic bands like Queen, U2, and Michael Jackson.

We'll compare the music scenes, the evolution of genres, and the artists who defined these eras. Join the Toy Federation crew as we reminisce, argue, and celebrate the best of both decades.
