Graph 7b
Those are smart quotes and should be Inch hatch marks. Could z-bot have color change here to stand out from g.i.joe?

Graph6b
Full set and Mine becomes: Full z-bot collection and My z-bot collection (just helps clarify). This graph is missing the large scale typography of your others. Perhaps here is an opportunity to give a total number. E.g. 27 out of 200 z-bots.

graph5b
Flush left alignment of the word series and BK. Why is this series BK when in the above graph your series are listed by number?

Graph4b
I never caught this before, but why the numbered columns 1-4? This causes confusion and in fact, we can count the four series in linear order from left to right just by seeing 4 bars. Out of all your infographs this one is not clear.

There is some interesting quantifiable info in your paragraph that is not being visualized. For example, you could divide each bar graph into sub-sections. E.g. the 1992 column would rise to 36, and be sub-divided into 6 smaller units each representing 6 bots.

Graph3b
Label the z-bot parts, just as you did for mr potato head's eyes, nose, etc.

Graph1b
On review, I'm not sure if extending those gray lines behind the map is working. What do you think? Is it cleaner the way you had it before? But the rest of the infograph changes are improvements. For consistency sake, I recommend the abbreviation for all be three letters. E.g. Mattel is "MAT".

Last note: spell check all your body copy.
