In the form of colorful, hard plastic with acrylic fiber hair, the first Sea Wees were named Sandy (blonde), Coral (redhead) and Shelly (brunette). Each doll was sold individually and came with a Nymphaeaceae-shaped sponge and a comb.
Later Sea Wees versions added coordinating babies (infant mermaids with sculpted hats instead of hair) and small pets, a clamshell carry case, a lagoon playset, and eventually a wider range of named mermaids with varied hair colors.
The original toys are now sold as collectibles, and there is a more recent series of Sea Wees dolls sold by Kenner.
