Post Blue Vinyl (documentary).
el word mentioned this so I added it to my Netflix queue. Well made, explores the toxicity issues with the manufacturing and nature of poly vinyl chloride pretty well. Did you know that vinyl is 56% chlorine?

It is an eye-opener, but I admit that I'm not going to give up kaiju sofubi any time soon. Movies like this make me pine for simpler times, but then I realize that I never lived in simpler times.

I just won't side my house with the stuff...or maybe I will, when I get sick of my collection. Rainy Day siding...

Its kind of a double edged sword when you think of simpler times. In simpler times, toys like these were probably 10x more toxic than they are now...so be careful with what you wish for...hehehehe
