Description
A pretty little mermaid-like doll with long hair (They came with different hair colors)You could take them in the bathtub with you.I believe they came with a little pastel-colored spongy float you could set them in. Sea Wees were mermaids with long Barbie hair. They came with a Sea Wee child, that was smaller and had painted-on short hair. They had names like Stormy, Sandy, and Coral. I think there were 4. The lagoon was a large seashell that came with a floating seahorse and some other stuff. They were made by Kenner.

I had these!! I'm pretty sure she had blue hair and a baby with a bonnet. Oh my gosh, what else will I find on here?!
See Wees were a series of mermaid dolls that came out starting in 1979 to 1984. This website (http://members.tripod.com/~seawee/seawees.html) has tons of info and pictures. I loved that they came with a lilypad sponge that had holes for the mermaid and her friend...and it would actually float in the bathtub. I have tons of them still, including the originals. I also had a playset that was a big seashell that had a place to stand one up...I think that one either floated or would suction to the wall of the bathtub.
i still have a blonde and a brunette sea wee and i still take a bath with them and i am 31. that's an embarrassing admission, but i assure you i am well adjusted. ;)
Um, I still have my Sea Wees too... I actually saw them repackaged some years ago under a new name, they had new paintjobs tho, just weren't the same.
I have a seawees butterfly (?) named, I found out from Ebay, "skylite"
I wish I still had my Sea Wees! I miss them. I've looked on eBay and I've seen them selling for over $45 a piece! That's good old 80's style inflation for you! lol
I just came across this because I was trying to remember what the little baby mermaid figurine that I carried around in my pocket all the time was called. I really don't remember them being called Sea Wees, but I am glad that I know what they are called now.
I had the little aqua blue one alone with alittle peliqin as well. I played with those two alot in and out of the tub.
I stole one from my friend Elise once.
i had a lot of these the icy gals etc that made bath time fun
I had 2 Seawees with the babies and animals. I had the one with yellow and white hair and the other had green and white hair. I've only got the one with the green and white hair now. Not sure what happened to the other ones or the lilypads.
I still have some. They, along w/ Strawberry Shortcake, were my absolute favorite.
I played with these in the bathtub for YEARS!! I also had one with blonde hair and a gold-colored outfit.
I loved these. Wish they still made them, anyone have one they want to sell?
I loved these things. However, my brother threw the on the roof! They're probably still there! LOL
i have some sitting in my bathroom on a shelf. i absolutely loved these things.
I was real little when these first came out- I'm now nearly 35.I had the red head with the teal body and sponge lily pad. She was a cute doll with pretty face.I didn't have her long before her hair became all tangled. Later on when the See wees came out with babies/pets I felt jipped!I remember buying her at a "Clover" store in PA. If they brought them back my 6yr.daughter would like them. She tells me all the time how I had better toys- than what they make now.
I'm showing my 6 year-old daughter my old baby sea-wee I've saved. She really wants one of her own...I have a 1979 pink baby...
My absolute fave toy back in the day. I might have the lil bird pet somewhere.
I had these, and once I got bored, I ccut off all the hair!
Where can I buy some of these toys???
If you are still looking I have the Bird? mermaid in blue with baby and comb. not sure the name, does anyone know? will list on ebay soon, just search mastoyshop thanks to the author for providing me with more info.
I had a bunch of them but I gave them to my cousins and nieces
