I was wondering if anyone here had information about the Charmkins Starshine Balloon playset? Most of the stuff online (and there isn't a lot) says that the Starshine Balloon was probably unproduced. I was watching an auction last week (which I won) and there was an odd unpainted (except for the eyes) Charmkins figure in the lot. Here is the auction link which includes a lot of photos if you scroll down.

I just received the lot and the unpainted figure does indeed have 1984 and Hasbro on the bottom. To me she looks like she is most likely Bonnie Blue Eyes. The best pictures I can find online are here:

They are pretty small but there are enough similarities that I am really thinking it's her! The little flower at her waist, the butterfly in her hand and the arms up pose. But do I have a prototype? Were there ever any fakies made like the Charmkins? Would the mold have been used in another toy line? I am so curios about her!
I can post better pictures of her including one where you can see the copyright later today if that will help.

Oh no! Sorry about that... he he! I actually don't need the Charmkins Pixie Pony though, do you wanna work a sale or trade for her?
