2	''Wonder Woman and the Star Riders'' was a promotional comic distributed in Kelloggs cereal for a line of toys and an animated series which were never produced, making it the only part of a planned but cancelled Creator/DCComics and Creator/{{Mattel}} franchise which was actually completed and put into production. Of the five Star Riders Franchise/WonderWoman, Dolphine and Ice were new iterations of existing DC characters, while Star Lily and Solara were new creations for the stillborn franchise.

After they reclaim their jewels and capture the villainess they are distracted by a sudden violent storm outside their floating castle fortress and Purrsia escapes, re-stealing Solara's star jewel on her way out.

6	The unused toy designs were repurposed by Mattel for their ''WesternAnimation/TenkoAndTheGuardiansOfTheMagic'' line. Years later the concept of a Mattel produced toy line accompanying a MerchandiseDriven show centered around Wonder Woman would resurface and come to fruition as ''Franchise/DCSuperheroGirls''.

Dolphine's got blue and teal tights, a skirt made of lace with a sparkly cape skirt in back, a crown-like hair piece, and a scalloped edged neck covering that looks like a tight-fitting gugel that's had the actual hood removed. Ice is essentially a palate swap of Dolphine with a different skirt and the neck covering transformed into the top of a cape. Star Lily is wearing a gigantic flower made of lace on her back, flower accents and a multi-layered skirt.

29	* PowerCrystal: Each of the Star Riders has a star jewel with magic properties that give the wearer additional control over an elemental power and help keep natural elements of the world in balance. All the gals have a spot for their jewels on their belts.

37	* WingedUnicorn: Wonder Woman rides a pink winged unicorn named Nightshine.
