I've been told the figurines contained colored sand. Does anyone know which colors?
They don't have Hasbro on them, are they G1?

And, because I'm not really into merchandise.... what are they worth?

Post by: orangepeachmango on April 11, 2017, 07:05:11 PM: the soaps are absolutely amazing!!! where did you find them?? im really jealous.

considering the style of the sand tubes and the fact that nobody has ever seen them before im gonna say probably no they arent hasbro/mlp related! mlps don't have seperating lines between their legs and hooves, the wings look much more feathery than any g1 merch ive ever seen, and the cutie marks are unrecognizable to any pony i know.

but still really cute finds!

That's nice! Yours hasn't survived it? They are a bit fragile...

I had those sand art things as a kid. They came out in 1994 or 1995 in a blue carrier thing. I still have it with the original inserts. I will try to snap a photo shortly :-)

no they were made by fasco in 1995 and called sandsationals . I looked on ebay already, and the only one that comes up is a Polly Pocket one. I'm assuming these were supposed to be MLP and then the line got cut and they used them any way.

Post by: Foxtale on April 14, 2017, 08:09:27 AM: Whoaaa the MIP lotion and soap is so cool. I love the artwork on the packaging.

I've never seen those Sand Art containers. I remember when those were all the rage. I think it's even cooler if they were supposed to be officially licensed merchandise and then the MLP brand ended but they still sold them anyway. XD I find stuff like that fascinating.

Cool finds!

As for value, since they are so rare I would say that would increase the price. :D

Post by: banditpony on April 14, 2017, 09:53:24 AM: I remember sand art was all the rage back in the 90s! I think I agree that maybe it was supposed to be MLP licensed then got cut... since the licensed PP one is up there on ebay.

eta: lol, here is a youtube of the PP sand art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps5-2ko8L1U :)

Post by: Nella on April 15, 2017, 08:48:54 AM: I think I'll sell both if the price is right. What would be their values?
