Toy-Ventures 5: The Lords of Light by PAC Toys

[RSS]

This week's installment of Toy-Ventures is all about the story PAC toys and their sadly too short toyline called the Lords of Light. I get into my relationship with their creator and what might have been with this 80s toy line that ended all too quickly.

That was awesome. So much great info. Wish they weren't so rare. They really are neat little figures.

Great video. I'm really fascinated by this line. So many strange confluences of toy history, especially if you go all the way back to Takara. I wonder what they thought about these molds being used?

Also, so strange that the villains were released first. People complain about case ratios now! And the hero was so prominent in the commercial.

I think this concept would still go over pretty well. Kids LOVE glow sticks. A cheap glow stick at Halloween is a huge deal to a kid.

I don't know if Takara would have cared about Lords of Light because they primarily seemed to be using stuff created by Mego. There are a couple of Takara items promised but not a lot.
