While toys like Manglors, Crystar and The Other World probably likely bring back fond memories for many of you,  for me, they kind of have a bittersweet appeal.

I was teetering on being a teenager at this point in time and when toys did the big “fantasy shift” in the early 80s, I felt kind of ….left behind. It was because I was getting too old for this stuff and I knew it, it’s hard to describe the feeling but I think we’ve all had that moment.


The early 1980s saw a lot of unique and creative toy lines and it must have rocked to be a kid.

]]> We’re jetting forward to 1984 to take a look at Manglors, a rather unique toy offering from Ideal Toys. Manglors weren’t action figures (they had no articulation) but rather a new kind of concept, made of a spongy material that stretched and apparently could be reattached. Every character in the line seemed to be a monster and their playset “Manglor Mountain” appears to be some sort of torture chamber.
I’ll admit it, when I saw a Manglord with an open window in Toys R Us back in ’85, I reached right in and tore off a limb to see if it worked. Boy, that confession felt good, like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders!
