BIONICLE: Mask of Light, the first of four direct-to-video movies spun off of the Lego BIONICLE toyline, was released on September 16th, 2003. This movie introduced a new member of the heroic Toa Nuva warriors: Takanuva, the Toa of Light. It also marked the first time the franchise's main antagonist, Makuta (later known as Teridax), made a personal appearance in a BIONICLE story. Naturally, Lego started selling toys of both characters around the time of the movie's premiere.
However, the original English version of the commercial for the toys did not appear online for a long time, and was only available to view in the French version of the commercial.
