The kaleidoscope necklaces EricaVee described all came with a person figure (I remember a mermaid figure) and a pet (I remember a dragon pet). It was in the shape of a castle and has a hollowed out bit where you could put the person and pet and it had doors so they wouldn't fall out. In one of the turrents was a kaleidoscope (not with bits in - it broke up what you would normally see into different sections). I think you looked through the bottom of the castle, but it could've been vice versa. They came on a rope/string I don't know what yo'd call it - the type quite common in kid's jewellery and it had one of those snap open clasps (I think oval).
Another small playset was a carriage playset where there was a big animal (I'm thinking dragon and seahore) that pulled along a little carriage and the motion of the pulling would make the fins of the seahore/wings of the dragon move. Again it came with a person and a pet.
The main castles had keys so you could open them up and there were often little hidey-holes in them and other special things and they usually came with a peson/s and pet/s.

fifth picture - you can see about 7 starcastles
seventh picture - second row there is a starcastle mermaid toward the end, third row is a starcastle princess figure
ninth picture - the blue seahore is starcastle (probably the pet of the blue themed mermaid) Some of the horses are likely starcastle horses.

The first one mouse linked looks really really familiar And so does the little caterpillar in the large lot. Now I think I might have had that one too. I also remember having a large undersea castle, but I'm still not sure if it was one of these or not.

I took pics of my small necklace one. You look through the bottom and the crystal on top creates the kaleidoscope you two were talking about. I hope I can find the mermaid and seahorse (you said these small ones came with an animal, right?)

Thanks for a posting a pic of your necklace - I was close, all I messed up on was the actual necklace!
If you're castle came with a mermaid I'm pretty sure it should also have come with a little seahorse in similar colours to the mermaid figure.
Was your castle mainly light light blue and the sea shell shaped turrents were a golden sandy yellow colour? Was their a mote at the bottom (or a pondy type thing anyway) that you could fill with water and float small foam sea shapes in? My sister had that one.
Post by: BattySparkles on Friday 23 April 2010, 01:05 pm
You are welcome for posting my necklace.
I don't remember much about the castle. I THINK it was mostly light blue and maybe light green turrets, but that could be wrong. I can't remember anything inside it, but after watching the commercial I do remember it having a key to unlock it. It sounds like the one you are talking about may have been the "by the sea" version while mine was under the sea. I dunno if that's correct or not though. We could very well be talking about the same one though as I can barely remember anything about mine.
Post by: zuse on Friday 23 April 2010, 05:46 pm
The problem with those Trendmasters playsets is they're not that durable. There's a thrift store in the town I used to live where you bought stuff by the pound (Goodwill clearance). So, everything would just be out in piles. I found a few where the playsets were broken, so I just scavenged all the easily removable pieces (banners, etc). that were easy-to-lose pieces. :) That was much cheaper. :-D
I'll try to find them to and see if anyone is interested in them! :)
Post by: EricaVee on Friday 23 April 2010, 10:08 pm
The weird thing about Starcastles is that I have NO recollection of any people figures at all. I know that mine must have come with one, but I have no memory of her whatsoever! I DO have a little bird perch with a jewel hanging in mine--there were two birds, both yellow, but I only have one left. I also don't remember any figures coming with my necklace. Does anyone have pictures of one that has its figures? I'll have to do some searching. Hmm.

I now have come across an issue of my own.. Were there different styles of the little figures.. Well I mean obviously there were the mermaids/princesses or whatever, but they have the same general look. My problem is that I am certain that the figure that came with the flower castle is the one I've circled in the image. I absolutely remember that I had her and she belonged with that castle and the caterpillar. She is clearly a very different style from the mermaids/princesses that I now know are from StarCastles, so are she and her flower castle still StarCastles just with a different look, or are they something else?

4th picture down is a starcastle carriage pulled by a swan. You can also see a large yellow seahorse which would also have pulled a carriage. Oh and un upside down white carriage pulled by a pink dragon. You can also see some princess type figures and a tiny pegasus pet figure - there's a starcastle princess in a purple dress with blond hair and underneath her is a pink thing - that a little pegasus (possibly a pegicorn) figure.
You can also see a lot of stuff that goes with the unidentified bears in another thread.
Without my glasses on, I am legally blind (for driving at least, I don't know if I am for just walking about!) With my glasses on I have the super power of being able to spot and identify tiny figures in blurry ebay listing photos!

The dolls I have look like the one in the green dress with the long hair. And then I have some smaller baby type ones, I think.
Interesting note: the puppy, bunny, and kitten aren't LPS animals. They're Kenner Baby Buddies.
****CORRECTION**** They are Baby Buddies FAKIES, haha.
Also, I like this makeup castle:

Do these castles agree with the "By The Sea" model?
Version A
(Pending Permission)
Version B
(http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz343/ToyID/Unidentified%20Toys/TrendmastersCastles72.jpg)
Version C (my castle! ^^ please credit me if this image is used in any way)
(http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz343/ToyID/Unidentified%20Toys/IMGP87672.jpg)
Version C inside? (I THINK this is my model's inside)
(http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz343/ToyID/Unidentified%20Toys/GlitterCastle2.jpg)
Maybe they didn't make 3 colors of one model, but they're all different inside. *Shrug*?!
Also, I've seen these described as "Glitter Castle".

Hi,
I am interested in buying some Star Castles. Does anyone know where I could by some?
Thanks so much!
Keep checking ebay - search for star castles, starcastle, trendmasters (use the search in title and description search) and also search the polly pocket listings, with things like polly pocket castle, polly pocket style, polly pocket type, polly pocket similar. You might also want to may a wanted post on this site and also do it on other toy sites (e.g. the mlptp.net and mlparena.com are active forums). Good luck :)

They said they had two:

The ones I have are Kaleidoscope Locket Castle Under The Sea (with mermaid and seahorse) and Kaleidoscope Locket Castle In The Clouds (with angel and winged unicorn).

I have found yesterday these both ones. Under the castles it is written : 1995 - Trendmasters Inc. - Made in China. ;)
The pink has not the yellow birds you can see in the other castle.

This is the one I have! It was jewelry-themed, so I suppose it must be the Treasure Castle--although I don't remember any "guardian elephant" or a tea set.

If you got those names from off my Ponydex page, I had just made them up! Haha
I did that to help chronicle them a little better for me in my personal collection. I don't know their official manufactured names that they were given. I just came up with those names based solely on the designs on their wings. They are not marked with names anywhere on the box.

I am excited to find this page. I started collecting Starcastles in 1999, shortly before they were discontinued by Trendmasters, and I continued collecting through the time periods when Trendmasters was acquired by Jakks Pacific, then Jakks Pacific tried to revive the line, only to discontinue it again. Back then, I tried to get a Starcastles fan club going, but I never was able to find too many other collectors. I have a lot of knowledge and information about the line, including a 1997 Trendmasters product book and other stuff. I even have two of the four Starcastles "Flyers," which were like winged birds that went with the set. I will post pictures when I can, but for now I just wanted to say hi to everyone.
Awesome! Can't wait to see your info :)

I have the Celestial Collection very near complete with boxes. I'll be posting very detailed pictures of them and the rest of my Starcastle collection to my photobucket very soon.

I'm in touch with someone about getting the parts I'm missing from the Moonlight Castle, but I've got it in the box with it's stickers too. All that's pictured of Moonlight Castle right now is the castle image from the box. Do you have my missing part?? PM me ;D
(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306/nosmartyr/Starcastles/IMG_70121.jpg)
I've got another castle(a pink By The Sea) up in my photobucket, but haven't completed the titling and descriptions yet.
(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m306/nosmartyr/Starcastles/IMG_70361.jpg)
I have 3 castles and all my misc accessories photographed annd 5 complete, semi complete( I think ) to photograph still.
Are these good pictures? Critique the pink By the Sea pics, please. I'm trying to be as thorough with the description as possible, because without the box there highlighting what every special secret each different castle holds you're kinda like, "um, is that supposed to??...am I gonna break this if I?" I'm really glad I've got 3 in the box. It's almost terrifying to touch these delicate things of beauty.

I thought I would mention that my first auction (mentioned in my post of a moment ago) is actually for a MIB Sunbeam StarCastle. (The others are a Ferris Wheel StarCastle from the Carnival Collection, and a Beach StarCastle and a Neptune Bubble Castle).

They did also make the I Dream of Jeannie playsets, but those aren't part of the StarCastles line. They released fashion dolls, the bottle playsets, and the smaller locket bottle playsets. (My sister has them all - she's a big fan of I Dream of Jeannie). :)

It is from Trendmasters so it has to be a Starcastle(?). The year says 1998.

For the Tropical one I have the wand but it doesn't seem to do anything even if I twist the tower. For the Cinderella one I don't have the wand but from what I've gathered it seems to be infrared operated.
Is there an alternative way to launch the Cinderella one and how is the Tropical one supposed to work?
