I've always wanted to see a custom Starlight, like maybe on a Barbie horse mold...can you can even rehair those?

I made these a long time ago. It is very hard to pull these horses apart! Some I have found that I couldn't pull them apart....

Those are awesome! :dribble: :ohyeah:

Probably best to do it on a breyer then, or some other brand with molded hair. I love Skydancer too, never cared much for Onyx

Galactica, can I see a pic of your Skydancer?

Sure!

Sorry I don't have a better picture than this- both versions of the prototype skydancer are in there-

The toys actually were designed before the cartoon-  they originally wanted Skydancer to be black, and his mold was the Mattel "black beauty" mold.  But apparently that mold failed the "drop test" at some point, which is why Mattel switched to the other mold. They also switched his color to purple. Neat eh? Too bad they never put him into production-

I do hope the new Rainbow Brite line does well and they make a LOT more characters! I am pleased that Indigo already is included in those little figures-

I'm So excited for the new Rainbow Brite stuff! Just can't get any better than the original 80s!

I know right? I went to Hallmark yesterday and got the shirt with her and Starlite. Now, to keep figures crossed that Stormy will make an appearance in August.

Galactica, those are awesome- I especially like the purple Skydancer! Where did you find them? I really like the color castle backdrop. Is the orange doll a custom?- she is really pretty.

The shirt will probably be too small unless they have a decent 2X. But the plush doll I want!

They are all prototypes- I bought them from one of the guys that worked on the production samples (prototypes) in the 80s. They used to do that kind of thing locally, now of course the factories do it.

I am pretty excited to see the toys- I don't think Stormy is planned yet, but Hallmark did say that additional characters and products will depend on how well the first wave sells- so I hope it sells REALLY WELL!

ELVINWINE I'm not sure why the link doesn't work for you- maybe it got moved?  You can go to rainbowbrite.net and Katie (the side admin) has the links posted on the front page now :D

Very cool of you to offer to help! I am seriously so excited (and afraid) that I will miss out on the toys! (The shirts and things are cute but I really like the classic-looking toys- SO CUTE)

I really hope they do make her and other characters, I'm totally doing my part in August in helping sales of these good well. :silly:

Looks like I won't be getting any on the new RBB stuff when it comes out. My local Hallmark store just closed down with out any warning!  :wail: I have no idea where the nearest store is now because we always went to the one here in town. The nearest one is probably going to be at least half an hour away. Too far away to run over there every couple weeks.  :cloud:

Yeah- my Hallmark store closed too.  I guess greeting cards just don't make much profit these days  :huh:

Has anyone seen anything yet? I need to bike past the mall today- I might check it out!

Went to my local Hallmark and they confirmed that only the Woodbury location has RBB stuff. That's like 25 minutes from here! Way too far to pay retail on not-pony. :/

Totally cracks me up when people say half an hour is to far away. Just my grocery store is almost that far. I drive an hour to work every day.  #countrylife :)

On topic though: those are super cute!
