OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

  • Starshine is a Rainbow Pony released in Year Two (1983-1984)

    • This means she's from the first wave of Rainbow Ponies

  • Rainbow Ponies' defining features are their rainbow hair and glittery cutie marks

  • She came with a purple brush, purple comb, and blue ribbon

  • Fur is meant to be white, but she often gets discolored to a more yellow or brown tone

  • Has a glitter cutie mark, and it's one of the one's where it's noticeable when the glitter rubs off. "Quality" of toy is therefore more affected by state of cutie mark

  • Has a lot of Nirvanas

  • Had a full re-release for MLP's 25th and 35th anniversary

  • Starshine is featured very, very heavily in G1 Retro merchandise

This website is purely for educational/archival purposes. I do not own the rights to My Little Pony, and most photos on this site are not my own. I provide image sources if the source is still available online, but there are far too many photos for me to ask each person for permission - The whole point of the site is collecting as many photos as possible. I try to ask permission on social media or forums that I'm active on, especially if I'm using a lot of photos from one person. If you own one of the photos on this site and do not want it here, message me and I will remove it. This isn't meant to take credit from or upset anyone; It is just for fun and to help record the existence of these toys. If you are made uncomfortable by me using your photos, I will remove them for you.
