"My daughter got started on Rainbow Brite when she was 4 yrs old back in 1984. It started with the T.V commercials on a very small black and white TV that my parents bought for us. She fell in love with the colors even though she didn't see any colors on the screen.
Then I bought her the coloring books, puzzles and dolls. She would spend hours putting together her puzzles over and over again. Once she put it together, she boxed it up, shuffled the box, mixing up the pieces and did it again. My daughter to this day is the true Rainbow Brite fan. I just wanted to share my story with you every little girl should have her own Rainbow Brite doll to love and share. Thanks and Rainbow wishes."

Featured Fan Artist: Sometimes Rainbow Brite art comes not from Fans, but from the friends of fans. In this piece of art Kiminess of DeviantArt was asked to update Rainbow Brite's look, and little did the artist know, she nearly duplicated the current look of Rainbow Brite. With beautiful shading and vibrant colors, it's hard not to love this adorable look.
Back in 1984 many children were introduced to Rainbow Brite and her friends. Many parents, grandparents and adults nurtured these characters to become the life long relationship with color, friendship and love. Many fans don't remember how their relationships began, but I can give you a clue. It begins with your family. Your first toys and collectables were most likely not purchased by you, but rather a loved one who took it upon themselves to share the rainbow with you.
Was it your grandmother sending you a card on your birthday? Your uncle giving you a coloring book? Your mom and dad giving you a doll to hold?
We want to hear those stories, and share them with others. If you have a story or if a friend or family member has a story they would like to share about how they shared the joy of Rainbow Brite with someone else, please contact us.
In the mean time, fans of the first generation are now the mothers, fathers and friends of a new generation, and it is time for us to return the favor, pass the torch and of course, share the rainbow.
Hallmark, along with Maria Bailey, founder of “Marketing to Mom”, a website and campaign designed to keep mom's of this new generation informed on what is to come. You can expect a representative from Hallmark's creative staff to be on Maria Bailey's radio program Mom Talk Radio, very soon to discuss the new Rainbow Brite!
