What Was Moondreamers About?
Moondreamers were a group of sparkly-dressed characters in charge of everything sky and dream-related. For example, they had a Dream Machine that produced dreams for sleepers, and were also in charge of creating and maintaining stars, punching comets, and other celestial activities. One thing that set these dolls apart was their outfits. The trims of them glowed in the dark, and so did their hair and combs. Each Moondreamer also came with a necklace for little kids to wear. These are more difficult to find nowadys, but we have added them to the list below just in case you get lucky!
More Moondreamer Vintage Toys
Bitsy and Roary, and Blinky and Ursa
There are two more Moondreamer characters we haven’t mentioned yet – but these are amongst the most collectible vintage toys out there. They are: Bitsy and her companion Roary, and Blinky and her friend Ursa. Both these cute animals and their Moondreamer dolls had glow-in-the-dark hair and equally shinning clothes with trimmings. They also came with shoes and combs, and the animals had glowing features as well. For example, Ursa the bear had a removable saddle. One thing to mention about these figures is that they were very well designed; the characters can easily sit on the animals without falling off. Just like the the five main Moondreamers, Bitsy and Blinky also came with dream crystal necklaces and a stand.
- Blinky and Ursa: A shy and hardworking character that rides a white bear called Ursa.
- Bitsy and Roary: A Moondreamer that owns a courageous and outgoing lion (and, according to Hasbro, a bit of a snob. I kid you not).
