Vintage 1979 Sea Wees n' babies set of Shelly and baby Sprite by Kenner. In the form of colorful, hard plastic mermaids with acrylic fiber hair, the first Sea Wees were named Sandy (blonde), Coral (redhead) and Shelly (brunette). Each doll was sold individually and came with a lily pad-shaped sponge and a comb. Later Sea Wees versions added coordinating babies (infant mermaids with sculpted hats instead of hair) and small pets, a clamshell carry case, a lagoon playset, and eventually a wider range of named mermaids with varied hair colors.

Condition: The hair is a mess but overall the set is a nice piece to add to a collection.
