Starshine was released in 1983 and is a Rainbow Pony. She came with a purple star brush, comb and blue ribbon. I have seen two different Starshine variants. One has a soft, squishy body and the other a hard plastic body. The plastics look and feel quite different. She is in the Firely Pose. To view other ponies by year/series, click here. In Germany, Starshine was released in the Surprise Pose.
