"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.

All images from the 1987 Kenner Toy Catalogue.

Unproduced Playsets

There were two unproduced playsets; Wonderfall Playset & Shimmers Family Set. There were images of the new Shimmers Playsets in the 1987 Kenner Toy Catalogue, so were made as prototypes, but I don't think they ever went as far as test marketing.

"They're here! Mist and Swiftburst horse Shimmers with their baby, Flicker, who fits in her own cart! The Shimmers Family Set includes all three dolls, a pearlized comb as well as the harnessed cart, which attaches to any adult Shimmers for pull along fun.
