In the late 1980s, holograms were considered to be wondrous things of high futurism--a blend of art and science, of 3 dimensional magic and lasers. In short, they were really cool and absolutely freaking everywhere. In this episode, we try our best to explain a little about what holography is and how holograms are made. Then we'll spotlight four retro toy lines which incorporated the technology... Transformers, Battle Beasts, Super Naturals & Visionaries! And later on, Nintenjoe will spotlight
