Summary: NOT a WEBKINZ 2010-02-14
Comment: I am upset because I wanted to purchase a Webkinz unicorn and this came up as a webkinz brand because it is tagged as such with Amazon. It is not Webkinz! It is Russ brand. You can go online with this in a manner similar to Webkinz but only on the Russ website. Cute unicorn, but not the one that my daughter had requested. I have also had difficulty returning to Amazon because although they managed to send me this request for a review, they don't seem to be able to find a record of my purchase so I can return it. Sign me very disappointed in Amazon for this one!
Summary: Sparkling Fantasy 2009-12-17
Comment: These toys are soft and adorable! On top of that you're giving them a real star! How cool is that? Half of my grandkids are now planning to be astronauts! They use the Nasa site to check on their stars and usually end up widening their search. The teens and preteens really enjoy the game site. In addition to all this a portion of the profits goes to children's charities. I have rarely been happier with a gift I've purchased.

Comment: This product was at a good price. It appeared to be brand new. I purchased it as a gift.
Summary: Great gift idea 2008-09-22
Comment: This cute cuddly shining star plush toy makes a great gift for little ones. I've not had any problems with the website. Naming a star after herself was a great self-esteem boost for the recipient. As always, Russ offers a quality stuffed toy. Very soft, very cute, beans in the feet to give it a good feel. This unicorn also have some glittery hair that this little adored. Highly recommended for children.
Summary: Boring 2008-08-16
Comment: I bought this toy to see what Shining Stars websites would be like, and yes, I am very disapppointed. The games are mainly targeted to 5 year olds but I bet you that they would be bored really fast with these lame games and limited activity. I have webkinz account and believe me, it's much better and more fun than any other virtual plush toy site. Stick to webkinz and you won't be sorry but if you do stick with this shining stars, you probably will be. Save your money and go with Webkinz.
