Doll Charms - 1st Series

Sweet Secret charms each came with a necklace and hair-clip which they could be attached to. The doll's / animals arms, legs and head were folded inside the gem, which could be opened at the side. After folding out the various parts, the gem could then be closed again.

There were three doll charms in the first series and six more in the second. There were six animals charms in the first series plus one more added soon after, and six in the second series which are most often mistaken for simply colour variations as they used the same moulds but were in different colours.

The third series of charms ranged from being slightly different in style, to completely different. They are the hardest to find second-hand, so either didn't sell well or not many were made.

There were three dolls released in the original series of doll charms. As the line grew in size, several colour variations of each of these three dolls were produced.

Flashee had purple hair, Gleamie had red hair and Shinie had yellow hair. This never changes, regardless of their body colours. They all had bows in their hair and rosey cheeks, unlike the second series charms. I don't believe Blue Box ever re-produced these three dolls as they were not featured on any back packaging images.

There were several colour variations of each of the three original dolls, and each colour variation was produced in the three different gem styles (or at least most seem to have been). These three dolls were also sold with the smaller playsets, which may explain why there are so many colour variations.

Gem styles include:

• Diamond gem surrounded by frilly circle.
• Heart gem surrounded by four petals
• Circular gem surrounded by eight petals

Flashee

I've found three colour variations of Flashee, plus a shimmery version.

• Purple, white & blue
• Shimmery purple, white & blue ("Beauty Bows")
• Purple, red & yellow
• Blue, pink & red

In the 1985 catalogue she was purple & white (like in the 1987 catalogue), but with a purple jewel. I've never seen one in this colour.

I've only found Flashee in these colours.

Both Flashee and Gleamie were made in these colours.

All three characters were made in this colour.

These shimmery Flashee's were part of the "Beauty Bows" set (see Jewellery for more info).

I've found six colour variations of Gleamie.
