Six of the original ten Shimmers with
babies were due for re-release in 1987 along with nine
new Shimmers but it never happened. There were images
of the new Shimmers in the 1987 Kenner Toy Catalogue,
so were made as the prototypes, but I don't think they
ever went as far as test marketing.
"These delightful friends
share a most special quality - both the look of a sweet
little girl and the graceful body of a woodland animal.
Now the SHIMMERS fantasy continues as zebras and seahorses
join the SHIMMERS world, along with a new deer, horse,
mermaid, bird and butterfly. All 15 figures come with
dazzling pearlized colourful bodies and are about 41/2
inches tall. Each one had beautiful long-rooted hair,
perfect for combining and styling. Each wears a removable
fashion, adding more play and charm to the fantasy. The
four-legged SHIMMERS are articulated at the waist, and
all the heads can be turned.
Each SHIMMERS figure comes with an adorable baby SHIMMERS.
All pairs come with a matching pearlized comb.
Enchanting SHIMMERS will continue to bring fantasy to
life for little girls everywhere."
