The Other World

The Other World was a line of toys by Arco Toys and was released in 1982. Unlike many contemporary toy lines of the same period, it did not have an accompanying cartoon, but comic books were included with the toys.[1] The figures were composed of bendable rubber and glow-in-the-dark weapons. Large creatures were used as beasts of burden or as villains.[2] The storyline for the figures pitted the good Terrans against the evil Glowgons. Arco Toys was a Hong Kong-based toy manufacturer owned by Herbert J. Rosenberg and Harold Rosenberg.[3]
