Playmates Toys has gained the licensing rights for Rainbow Brite which means there will be a new toy line for 2009. The line will include fashion dolls, plush and role-play toys. We will keep you up to date with any pictures of the new line that become available.

I was wondering when Rainbow Brite was going to get in the game! Not that I'll get any, but I'm curious as to what they will look like.

It's about time Rainbow returned. It seems aside from Jem, she's the only one missing from the party.
I wonder if they are going to go with a vintage look or if they are going to do something new?

They say the new toys will stay true to the vintage look, but I'm skeptical.

They may do a vintage line along with an updated version also. We'll see how it works out when pictures surface.

i hope they dont go overboard with the modernization of the line like they did with strawberry shortcake. the updated shortcake is hookerish to me.

I hear ya... it's too floofy. There's not even an evil villain in Strawberry Shortcake! I'll be very disappointed if they do that to Rainbow Brite, in our day, she was like a girl superhero!

A friend of mine dressed up as Rainbow Brite for Halloween. I heard they had costumes for Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, etc so I guess those licenses are making a comeback big time.
But do women have the same sort of nostalgia for these toys as guys do? |

Yes, we girls definitely have nostalgia for our old toys. Some of my favorite memories are invading my brother's Skeletor Castle with my My Little Ponies... Girls just didn't have the good sense to preserve their toys as much as boys did, so there's not as much vintage stuff around, except for the MLP line really. |

They do have the costumes, but they're not licensed, so the costume is really called like "rainbow girl" or "strawberry princess".

"Sniffles the Emo Pony" i have a pic of it somewhere i gotta find it its hilarious. |

Here's the main problem with girls collecting toys....when we're little, we have the urge to cut hair, and all of our toys had beautiful hair! I made my hairdresser cut my cabbage patch kid's hair when I got mine cut, but then she had a big bald spot on the back of her head (because CPK's did not have full heads of hair/yarn), so she went into the closet never to be seen again.
yes.. i learned this all the hard way. with this whole haircutting fascination i spent part of kindergarten and part of first grade with a brown curly fro. i was traumatized. lol |

I dont see the point. They tried this a few years ago and the line didnt sell.

It just might have been the wrong time to revive the line. Plus I think Rainbow Brite is iconic, so it certainly doesn't hurt to try and get her out there again.
