⭐ Featured Review

Increasingly charming first series. But then...
by VinnieRattolle2020-02-14

"Torchy is a little doll who runs on batteries, with a flashlight (or torch) on his hat, which provides him various magical insights. He spends his days rocketing back and forth from earth, visiting his Geppetto-like creator, and Topsy Turvy Land, a magical world on a nearby star where all of the toys who were abused by their owners reside. He occasionally returns to Topsy Turvy Land with naughty children in tow to teach them lessons about behaving. One of the greatest strengths of the first series is that it's serialized, with one episode picking up right where the previous one left off...."
