Tonka Toys Star Fairies Accessories

Text Box: “Castle WishStar sits on a cloud hidden from view--it's the Star Fairies home where wishes come true! Under crystal towers, beyond soft pink doors, Star Fairies play, dance, and plan their wishful chores. Sparkle rules over all, with her moveable throne set in place, while the other Star Fairies dance 'round the Maypole with style and grace. Whisper's in the beauty bath behind the privacy screen, while Jazz snuggles into bed to sleep and dream. There's lots to do in their home on the sky--perhaps you may go there by and by. Just make a wish and the Star Fairies will come from afar, to bring you with them to Castle WishStar!” (c) Tonka Corp. 1985, All Rights Reserved

Star Fairies “Castle WishStar” was made in mid-1980's by Tonka Toys. It was a play center which could be closed and opened to reveal an interior where little girls could play with their fairy dolls and let their imaginations soar!

The exterior of the castle had a white cloud base, twin towers with a clear lilac tint top and a waving flags. There were jewel shaped windows for the fairies to peek outside. The white stairway lead up to two pink double doors. The interior sported a cloud bed chamber complete with cloud blanket and fluffy pillow, a cloud bathtub with a privacy screen, a moveable throne for the Princess, a balcony and a display rack to hang all their star fashions and wings. The Castle also came with a spinning Maypole for the Star Fairies to dance around.

The Castle WishStar play center box had the number 7707. It retailed for about $24.99

Text Box: “On moonlit nights, when the air is filled with magic and the sky sprinkled with stars, that's the time when Star Fairies are born. They come to you from falling stars. And can take you to a world where wishes come true. Star Fairies live in an enchanted kingdom in the clouds, the land of WishComeTrue, where every day is special. For every occasion, Star Fairies have fantasy fashions: pretty dresses for parties; evening gowns for ballroom dances; a Star Shower Rain Cape for walking in the clouds; and when it's time to say good night, the Pink Clouds Nightgown is for sleepy Star Fairies to dream in.” (c) Tonka Corp. 1985, All Rights Reserved

Star Fairies “Clothing Fashions” were made in mid-1980's by Tonka Toys. There were SIX available fashions for the Star Fairies dolls to wear. The outfits also came with color coordinating embossed fabric wings too. It’s possible that each of the outfits may have had different colored wings, as pictures shown on package do not seem to match actual product samples, that I have in my collection in some of the examples (see pictures below).

The Clothing Fashions package number was 7702. They retailed for between $1.99 to $2.99 each
