“Inside a crystal mountain, in a land where rainbow rivers flow, live the kind-hearted Kindles, whose faces with goodness glow. Sparkli, the natural leader, is a brave and heroic beauty. Together she and the Kindles sing in perfect harmony. Their group, the Glow Notes chorus, sings their joy to everyone. With music and love, they grow honey buds. To the Kindles, even work is fun.
But Eyevil the wicked sorceress wants to end all this happiness. Eyevil is afraid of light, and lives in the dark forest of eyes where it’s always night. To save the Kindles from this awful sorceress, the Lady of Light gave them the greatest gift – a brilliant inner light that shines within, a ‘Kindlelight’!”

Kindles were produced by Ideal in 1985. They were dolls which had switches on their bases or sides that, when turned on, made their faces light up (except for the character of Eyevil, whose five eyes lit up).
