- Fashion Star Fillies
Fashion Star Fillies are a group of toy model horses created by
Kenner Toys in the 1980s.The toys are characterized by their outrageous coloring and realistic sculpting. They were designed to be fashion models whose hair one could style. There were several outfits and accessory packs released as the toy lines developed. They were popular due to their lustrous paint, quality hair, and breed-accurate figures. Their often outrageous style also complimented the current fashion themes in the 1980s. They came with accessories such as leg-cuffs, barretes, bows and combs. All Fashion Star Fillies toys had a gold star on their cheek (only "Cliff" had the star it on his shoulder).
Accessories included costumes (like ballerina) and outfits (evening gown), as well as accents (barrettes, polishes, stickers, and jewelry) Many were released for the adults as well as sixteens.
Fashion Star Fillies were sold in the United States, and perhaps also in other countries.
The toyline was discontinued in the late 1980s, but fans of the Fashion Star Fillies continue to collect and trade the toys, often via online trading and auction websites.
