The Shining Stars program was introduced in partnership with the International Star Registry. Russ Berrie's Shining Star Friends product line was introduced to market the program.
A message on the Shining Stars website states that, "Russ Berrie Inc. the licensor of the Shining Stars brand filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on 26th April 2011 and therefore we apologize that the Shining Stars website associated with the Russ Berrie Shining Star products is no longer maintained."
While it's first generation, plush, video games, DVDs, t-shirts and similar merchandise were sold. There was also a VIP group, that the people that signed up earned these merchandice.
However, there may be a second generation in the end of 2012 or the beginning of 2013, but nothing is officially guaranteed. (url=http://www.shiningstars.com)

Famous quotes containing the words shining and/or stars:
“Unloved, that beech will gather brown,
This maple burn itself away;
Unloved, the sun-flower, shining fair,
Ray round with flames her disk of seed,
And many a rose-carnation feed
With summer spice the humming air;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“The intellect,—that is miraculous! Who has it, has the talisman: his skin and bones, though they were of the color of night, are transparent, and the everlasting stars shine through, with attractive beams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
