Sea Star in the United Kingdom
Sea Star 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 originally sold in the first set of
Baby Sea Ponies, and 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
As far as I can ascertain, Sea Star was not sold in her pearly
form outside the UK, although some specific exports may have
taken her beyond these borders. She was NOT part of the releases
in most of Europe, although she is often referred to as
"European."
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! This story
probably related to the pearly baby as she was on sale at the same
time as the Party Pony release.
