From the Manufacturer

Wish...Share...Shine! Next time you wish upon a star...let it be your very own shining star! RUSS has partnered with the International Star Registry in a revolutionary new Shining Stars program. The program includes a plush Shining Stars Friend, crafted using only the finest of materials and identifiable by the crystal-like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad...and the chance to literally become a star by having your name officially recorded with a star in the sky. You can choose from a wide variety of Shining Stars Friends to buy for yourself or to give to your own shining star. Once purchased, you can log on the the Shining Stars website and using the secret code found inside the laminated tamper resistant hangtag, you can register and name your star with the International Star Registry. The name will be offically recorded in book form with the United States Copyright office and the website will show an image and the coordinates of your star. This can then be printed on a certificate that verifies it's exact location in the cosmos. But there's more...for children of all ages, the website is a virtual universe where they can send e-cards, play customized games designed for different age groups and find a galaxy of fun activities. Young or old, anyone who receives a Shining Stars Friend will have a cherished keepsake to treasure forever, as well as their own personal star to shine brightly throughout eternity. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will also be donated to the Starlight Starbright children's foundation. So, reach for the Shining Stars and get ready to embark on a magical virtual journey where everyone can...Wish...Share...Shine!

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING REGARDING SHINING STARS FROG, September 11, 2011

This review is from: Russ Berrie Shining Stars Frog (Toy)

I was given a Shining Stars Frog, and thought it would be wonderful to name a star after my son, who is in Heaven. However, when I went to the website "[...]" to choose a star and give it my son's name, all I got was a screen stating that Russ Berrie had filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and the website was no longer available. I cannot imagine the disappointment of children who are given this adorable frog, thinking they can name a star after themselves. As for myself, I couldn't be more disappointed - I had pictured myself looking up at the stars at night, knowing that one of them had my son's name.

I paid almost $10 for this frog (and twice as much for the dragon) and we cannot register a star. Apparently shiningstars.com has had an issue with this and they aren't fixing it. I emailed them TWICE and they will not respond. Thanks for disappointing my child!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea - Nice Quality, December 8, 2007

I think the idea behind "NAMING A STAR" is a very interesting concept to gift recipients. Contrary to some of the other "Shining Stars" animals in which I was disappointed in the actual product quality, the FROG seems to be well-constructed.
