Sea Star in the United Kingdom

Sea Star was part of the first set of Baby Sea Ponies, and she was sold in many countries in the same format as that released in the UK. She was made in the forward facing pose, and came with a pink and purple duck float. She also came with a whale brush, ribbon and puffy sticker. She was reissued in the UK in 1987 with a pearly sheen, as one of the Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea Pony set. She was not sold in the Pearly assortments anywhere else. She was issued with intentionally straight hair.


Sea Star in Other Places

Sea Star's original release was in North America in 1985-6. She was subsequently sold in the Benelux countries on the same card as in North America, but with a sticker on the top corner in Dutch and French. She was also sold in France on translated cards with the UK art style, and in Italy on Italian-specific design cards. She was also sold in German speaking countries. The accessories were consistent across these releases.



Sea Star's Character

Sea Star, according to her fact file entry, was pitched much in the same vein as Sparkler and Buttons - a magpie pony who collected pretty shells. However, she used them to build shell castles and throw parties. I also recall a story when two Party/Twice as Fancy Ponies gave her a perm for her birthday!
