MANGLORS are BACK!

Manglors Poster
For decades, the legends of their horrors have persisted.
The eggs, hidden in the depths of FOSSIL POINT, have existed in a state of hibernation.
Now, after forty years of silence, the volcano of MANGLOR MOUNTAIN has erupted again - and the MANGLORS - are back!

In 1983, the Ideal Toy Company introduced the "sticky-icky creatures from another dimension", the Action Aliens known as the Manglors. Comprised of both ferocious warriors and incredible creatures, these beings "made of the strangest stuff on earth" - sorbothane - were stretchy, sticky, clay-like monstrosities. The incredible box art by the late, great Ken Kelly promised the ultimate warriors of terror, but a perplexing marketing decision prompting kids to tear them apart doomed the line. Not even the addition of the amazing Prehi-Storage Eggs in 1984 could save the Manglors from tumbling into the toyboxes of obscurity.

October Toys Skeleton Warriors Baron Dark Action Figure

He LIVES!!  Well...sort of. From dream to Kickstarter to insanely awesome physical toy in my fanboy hands, the Skeleton Warriors are back, starting with their fearsome leader, Baron Dark! You may (or may not..which is probably more the case) remember the Skeleton Warriors cartoon or the action figure line that turns up at flea markets across the planet ..seemingly every damn day. These fantastically sculpted toys from Playmates were waaaay ahead of their time...and maybe a little too far ahead as parents deemed them too terrifying for their precious children ...and they disappeared into the pile of oddball properties churned out by the 80's and 90's. Now October Toys has teamed up with the original creators of the series with hopes of recreating the freaky fiends with every awesome detail in tact, utilizing a Glyos body system, allowing for superior articulation and easy to pop off parts that you can mix with any other Glyos compatible figure.

Skeleton Warriors Fight For Resurrection on Kickstarter

In a world where a pony evolved into the daughter of Cthulhu can be granted life via Kickstarter, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! That said, surely Skeleton Warriors can make a HUGE return, right? Waaaay ahead of its time, this 90's cartoon we like to call "Harryhausen's Wet Dream" was short lived, but the toy line it spawned was far more magnificent than most around it. Now, the fine folks at October Toys think it's time the creatures of bone and awesome get a second chance to haunt your toy shelves. PREPARE FOR THE RETURN OF SKELETON WARRIORS!!!
