There was a story years ago about some scientists who dropped a box of tablets into a village somewhere that had no previous contact with modern tech.

The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.
I wonder if it would be as good today as a rematch, might be better left in our memories.
Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.
