(Princess) Brilliant Bloom


Brilliant Bloom was one of two pegasus pony Princess Brush and Grows in the set. She had tricolour hair, blended together with purple tinsel in her mane. Although on the previous version of this site, I described her having a white streak in her mane, having upgraded my very rough condition loose pony, it's clear that in fact that streak is meant to be fading pink. This is also visible in the MIB picture, below. Sorry about that, folks.

She was sold with a long handled brush, comb, two I Luv You barrettes (agh, that spelling) and a pale yellow ribbon, as well as nail polish and lipstick (in Europe/UK).

She was sold in the UK in a pale white-pink square box, and in North America in a yellow box that was long and narrow in comparison.



Brilliant Bloom's Character

At present, I can't find a comic story appearance for Brilliant Bloom - she was not as prominent as Star Gleamer or Skylark. Her backcard story is actual nonsense about tulips coming to life, dancing around and kissing her...so maybe we'll just pass on Brilliant Bloom's character for now...
