This is a huge long shot, since it is only a vague memory I have of them. But I figured I might as well throw something out there, and see if anyone knows what the heck I am talking about!
When I bought the Matchbox Carousel sometime in the late 80's-early 90's, I remember seeing some other carousel horses. I want to think they were in a boxed set, but they might have been sold individually. They were larger sized horses... almost like Barbie horses. Hard plastic with combable manes and tails, in bright colors. I think I remember a blue one with maybe yellow hair? Possibly a hot pink horse and a yellow horse, too. I
think they might have had symbols... like celestial ones (moon, sun, etc.). And of course, they were on poles, since they were carousel horses.
I can't really recall anything else. The box might have been blue, but I could be wrong. I don't even remember if it was a window box, or if the horses I remember were photo images on the box lid! I feel so stupid, they are something that has been biting at me for years. I wanted them so bad, but my mom told me it was either the Matchbox Carousel, or them... and I went with the Matchbox one, only to find the "exclusive" horse wasn't in the box! (worse, the Matchbox carousel series was discontinued

)
So, anyone have a clue, or will this remain a mystery to me for all time?
