25th Anniversary Shimmer Blue

As part of the 25th Anniversary celebration, the company released a few of the horses. Shimmer Blue is the horse that goes with Moonglow, in case you missed the blue/purple connection! I missed seeing the horses in the store, which is sad because I kind of like them. They remind me of the "adult" horses on the new My Little Pony cartoon.

Original Moonglow Doll

Moonglow is the rarest of the rare. This Rainbow Brite doll was only produced in small numbers, which explains the high price tags spotted on her. There were two eBay auctions in recent weeks. One had a a starting price of $140 and a BIN of $180, while the other had a BIN of $299 and a Best Offer option. The thought of spending that much for a doll makes me blanch a little. I guess it's the bargain hunter in me. Then again, I never had this doll when I was a kid, so that might be why I'm not rushing to buy her.

25th Anniversary Moonglow Doll

It seems like Moonglow was one of the most popular dolls when the line relaunched. This is the 25th Anniversary Rainbow Brite Moonglow doll. She comes with a few accessories like a pair of boots and I'm guessing a brush like the originals. I ran across this doll at Target and had no clue that it was a Rainbow Brite doll until I saw the logo.
