In 1986 a toy hit the market that embodied the mid to late eighties “glow” aesthetic, Leon Neon. Manufactured by Mattel these toys were glow-in-the-dark tubes that you twist and bend into fun shapes and wear them. With them, you could add cool Tron-like lighting effects to any outfit or to anything you could hang or attach them to. You had to keep them in the light for a minimum of 30 seconds to get any glow effect, but for a real strong glow, you would want direct light for a few minutes.
