The story itself goes like this, the Star Darlings takes
this group of 12 girls, who have dreamed of granting wishes to others whether
those wishes be made by birthday candles, tossing coins into a fountain,
dandelion pedals to shooting stars, any types of wishes that can be made these
girls can make it happen, hence why it's their secret mission to come to our
world, known as Earth by many but by them as Wishworld, to help power their planet
back to life! If the wishes are not fulfilled then they will be stuck on
Wishworld forever and ever and ever!
To start off, the first set of characters you will meet and
get to fly off with will be Sage, Scarlet, Leona, Libby and Vega, as said there
will be 12 girls in all. These first five are the core characters of the story,
as the others will follow through as their stories soar across the starry sky. The
Star Darlings was created by Ahmet Shana Muldoon Zappa as well as Barry Waldo a
former VP of Mattel, who all began developing this brand aimed at girls ages 9
to 12 only four years ago. That said, the dolls themselves are out of sight!
The five girls, Sage, Scarlet, Leona, Libby and Vega each have their own box,
with detailed input about each character, but the boxes themselves are actually
the same boxes showcased at the Disney D23 Expo, as opposed to the release done
by Disney Store and Justice retailer stores, who have another version of the
boxes.
In any case, either boxed doll is in itself, just
starmazing! Each of the dolls, come with their own school ID card and ring as
far as the accessories. It should be noted that these versions of the dolls
with these boxes do not come with stands. If you want the doll stands then you
have to pick up the dolls with the boxes from the Disney Store or Justice store
retailers. Those stands do light up, each having their own color tone to each
individual doll, and even has its own fun shape crafted out of the stand itself
for each of the dolls to stand upon.
The dolls though are just so well made. The eyes are those
glass looking inset eyes, that just sparkle, speaking of which, these dolls are
covered with sparkles, glitter upon the face, their hair, outfits, they are
just straight out of the galaxy! The hair is filled with tinsel that shimmers
in the light, each of the girls hair having the tinsel that goes with their
color scheme. Each girl is believe it or not represented by a zodiac sign, Vega
(Virgo), Leona (Leo), Scarlet (Scorpio), Libby (Libra), and Sage (Sagittarius),
if you didn't know there are 12 zodiac signs, hence the 12 girls, each one
having their own unique color. As well as them having their own different,
unique, personality that goes along with their sign of course.
Also, each one of the girls is a talented musician, Leona
(vocals), Scarlet (drums), Sage (guitarist), Vega (bass) and Libby (keyboardist/guitarist),
so with their theme song "Wish Now", already being a success as it
were, a soundtrack is sure to follow in the future, if not possible a full
fledge tour!
The other characters are Tessa (Taurus), Astra (Aries),
Cassie (Cancer), Piper (Pisces), Adora (Aquarius), Clover (Capricorn), and
Gemma (Gemini). Each of these other characters will of course have their own
books, in the book series, as well as their own dolls, just as the others.
Besides the basic line featuring the characters in their known style, other
dolls will follow, with more fashions, accessories and so much more.
It's also said that currently a web series showcasing the
girls in animation CGI form, is streaming online, with a movie to follow suit.
Expect these girls to shoot right out of the starry sky, and right into our
hearts, as they have already been flying off the web and in-stores, these will
surly hands down be a successor by Disney and company.
