Hello All,

I'm trying to find the name of a mermaid toy that was made between '94-'98. It is not a Disney licensed toy, in fact I'm not sure what toy company made it but it resembles Polly Pockets. The 2 mermaid dolls included in the play set are miniature, only about 1/2" tall. The play set itself is an underwater castle on a sand bed about 12" high. The gimmick of this toy is the castle opened using a key which could be stored in one of the towers when the castle was closed. Once the castle was opened on one side there is a clear tank which could be filled with water and using a hooked wand included with the set you can loop the mermaid's hair with the wand and "swim" them in the tank. On the other side there was a dance platform which you would attach the mermaids too and make them dance. The platform would also light up with multicolored lights. I also want to say that there was an octopus and fish figure that came with the set about the same size as the mermaids. On the outside of the castle a clam shell and treasure chest opened to reveal a jewel treasure. The castle itself was your typical pastel colored pinks, purples, blues, etc. I know this play set was one of three separate themed play sets made in the mid '90s which was not popular and the toy line was not continued. I searched pages of ebay and google images trying to find this toy. I wish I had a picture to show everyone what it looked like. I had it as a kid and I've searched my childhood home trying to find it but I believe my parents got rid of it in the process of completing a divorce. I have many Bluebird Polly Pocket play sets and even though this wasn't one it still fell into the mini doll category and that is why I loved it. If anyone knows or remembers this toy please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Believe it or not, I spent about 3 hours last night looking for this for you.
I believe that I found it at one point, but I had originally overlooked the part about the dancefloor.
Once I came back and re-read your post, and noticed the part about the dancefloor, I spent another hour or so trying to go back through the google searches I'd already done.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find it again.

I remember it specifically said that one of the characters can conduct the band and they can "dance".

Sorry, but I tried.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure if anyone would know what I was talking about because it wasn't a popular toy. I would love to have this again since it fits in with my Polly Pocket collection. Sadly I wasn't able to search my mother's attic the last time I was in Philly. There still might be a chance it is up there but my mom doubts it. Can I ask how did you search for it? I couldn't find it using several different title searches in google.

Hi, I took on the challenge and found the toy. It is a star castle by trendmasters, based on your description. go to youtube and search for "Star Castles TV commercial by Trendmasters" and you will see it there. Hope you can find one now.
