"The
Legend from the Shimmering Forest. In a secret
land of fantasy live beautiful creatures, wild
and free. Their delicate bodies glisten
like pearl...part woodland animal, part beautiful
girl. To most of us they can barely be seen at
dusk and at dawn, and not in between. But to those
lucky few who wish they could be like a horse
in a meadow or a mermaid at sea, this secret land
is always in sight, and beautiful Shimmers
will always shine bright."
Shimmers
were produced by Kenner in 1986. Each set included
a mother, baby, comb and one accessory. They came
in five species; birds, butterflies, centaurs,
deers and mermaids and had shimmery bodies and
brushable hair.
There were plans to release more
Shimmers and two playsets in 1987 but they were
never produced.
