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.
