    Just got a bit of a Holy Grail for myself.....

    ...A Lords of Light Toriac!

    [IMG][/IMG]

    I had some of these when I was a kid and only have his leg left. He's incomplete but I figured its a good place to start being that this is the first one I've seen for auction in years. Any help with accessories would most appreciated. Thanks for looking!

    When I was a young man, and working my first real job at TRU, I picked up a bunch of these because I recognized the re-used Micronauts parts. But after a few years, I threw them away. Ouch.

        They're pretty hard to find as well.

                  Thanks guys...This line has so much going for it...the connection to the Micro Aliens, the mystery of if the whole line was produced, and an "action feature" that is actually pretty cool...I remember as a kid lighting these guys up and having them and having them battle the Micronaut aliens in the dark...ah the memories. Just a shame they are so darn rare. But I guess thats also part of their allure.

                      Very Nice. Tough to find those guys with any of their parts.

                          I got mine here at the TRU in Jacksonville (actually Orange Park) back in the late eighties. I think they were released earlier than that... our store was new, and I think they came in as filler-stock from other stores.

                            I got mine at either a Toys R Us or Alexanders (a department store) here in New Jersey. I remember having my mom take me all over to find the other characters on the back of the card, but it doesnt seem like anything but 4 characters (Toriac, Nepos, Topen and Emperor Dementia) were released. It's still a mystery (however unlikely) if anything else was released.
