Looking for information on G3 merch
« on: May 12, 2022, 08:51:16 PM »
Recently, I've seen this photo circulating on social media (usually through aesthetic accounts):

A "My Little Pony Personal Stereo Cassette Recorder with Headphones," but I can't find any information on it besides this Amazon UK listing (out of stock).
It states it was (supposedly) first listed at the beginning of 2002 (likely a placeholder date) and by the company "Toy Broker." There's also a logo for something named "Ideal." Which leads me to this item:

"My Little Pony Walkie Talkies," detailing its features: "Flexible Antenna, Battery Operated, Powerful Signal, Push to Talk," also found on Amazon UK.
Similar packaging, same companies and labeling, and similar use of pony stock art. Dated as the beginning of 2004 (again, placeholder likely). I can't find anything else on this item either.
If anyone has any other sightings and/or information, I'd gratefully appreciate it!  :nerdy:

the walkie talkies are more likely to exist than the cassette player

*grabs snacks and runs* Both exist for sure. The might have been by a licensee in Europe which is probably why you don’t see them much

Yes, they exist and I have both...somewhere in storage.  They are probably UK exclusive items, and were harder to find even at the time.  I think mine came from Toymaster, but I kind of vaguely remember seeing the walkie talkies in another shop too, maybe a department store like Fenwicks or Beales.

Ideal still exists: https://www.instagram.com/idealgamesuk/ I think they made a few G3 merchandise items in the early days.  Pretty sure these were in the shops around 2004.

Here's my Facebook album of G3 merchandise with photos I took before packing everything away.  There's a pic of the cassette player in there, possibly the walkie talkies too. :)  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1038816319465646&type=3
