Blinkins :: Plush Babies
"Let their love light shine!"
Blinkins were produced by LJN Toys in 1985-87. They were fairy-glowbug creatures who lived in Blinkin Land who had small wings which lit up and glowed in rainbow colours when their bodies were squeezed. They each came with a pet or accessory and a butterfly comb.
Along with the small dolls Blinkins were large plush versions, playsets, accessories, books and videos.

Plush Babies
"Soft, cuddly and huggable! Baby Blinkins are adorable, big eyed baby dolls with light-up floral antennaes and light-up bottoms. They light up at your touch - remove your hands and the light is gone."
There were three Baby Blinkins produced and had a soft body and brushable hair. They also had a plastic face, bottom and antennas which all lit up when the dolls were touched (hugged?). They each came with a bib and soft bottle. Baby Beamer also came with a removable bonnet. They were about 12 inches high.

Baby Glisten's hair can fade to white over time.
This one is actually French a knock-off version, but thought her worth a mention.
