What was actually in the 1986 MLP The Movie press kit?

I see these on eBay once in a while, but what do they actually consist of?

I think Wildshadow may be the only person on the forums I know who actually owns one. I shall bump this in case she can help you out.

Almost missed this, don't visit here much after my mind has been taken over with South Park and its fan fictions....ANYWAY!  ^-^"""

Not sure how complete mine is since I've never picked up another one but here are my old pictures of the Press Kit:

I don't have an individual pic of the front but it's the one in the middle:

Then the inside, the back I think is just solid blue:

Mine has five stapled packets:

And in the envelope on the left had these black and whit photos:

Here is where I'm not sure if there should only be three or if there had been more.

This is where I first learned of their last name, Williams. Where I wasn't sure to believe it until the Writers Guide

It's interesting this promotional material has Megan with Wind Whistler and not Sundance.  Apparently the people in charge of the movie and series decided early on she would be the pony closest to Megan.

And "South Park fan fiction" has to be one of the scariest sequences of four words in the English language.

Wow, thanks for the info!  What exactly are the typewritten segments about?  Are they synopses of the movie?  I'm surprised there are so many of them.

Also, whoa, Megan, Danny, and Molly look a bit different, design-wise, in that color photo in the first picture.  I wonder if those were early designs for them.  Are the ponies in that picture a very dark-colored Sundance and Baby Sundance?

I think Molly (who looks 3 or 4 in that picture) is on Baby Lickety-Split since she would be an obnoxious little turd heavily featured in the movie.

Also, lol at Danny's hair.  Truly 80's.
