Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic Figures

A very short-lived cartoon produced and distributed by Saban Entertainment, that ran one season (13 episodes). At the end of each episode, the real Princess Tenko, a stage magician, would teach a trick or perform an illusion. The show, though in the spirit of the magical girl shows made popular by Sailor Moon in the US, Tenko didn't get much of an audience and was cancelled. 
Mattel created the action figures for the series, and though male characters figured heavily in the plot of the show, no male figures were made. There is a Wikipedia claim without attribution that the figures were based on an unproduced Wonder Woman and the Star Riders show. There are promotional images of those Wonder Woman toys, alas unmade, and they would have worked just fine for Tenko and Company... excluding the boys.
Each of the figures comes with a "magic starfire gem" and either a magic booklet or a small magic trick. They are all dressed in brightly colored leotards, and can have skirts and "breastplates" added to them to change the look. The plastic breastplates attach via the magnet in the "magic gem."
