Title: MLP merchandise from the '80s (pics)
Post by: balletpot on May 31, 2012, 03:35:23 AM: Thought I'd share some photos of some non pony MLP stuff from my childhood collection.

The poster had unfortunately gotten a bit creased so I had to take the photo from the side to avoid glare. I didn't write down when it was printed before putting it away again but I remember that it was printed in Germany. Windy and Sparkler are in the castle, Glory and Majesty are in front of it. Applejack, Bow-tie and Baby Bow-tie are in the foreground as you can see. I love it.

Bag with umbrella. It's not in good shape even though I hardly used it as a kid.

Comic book in Swedish, printed in 1987. It's funny how it says "Pony adventures for girls!" This is the one that has the story about how the twinkle eye ponies got their eyes that was posted on the Arena a while ago.

Post by: balletpot on May 31, 2012, 05:33:05 AM: I tried to google the bag and umbrella before posting and I saw that bag but it was blue and the umbrella was different, everything else was the same though. Then I saw another bag but it had that umbrella. The handle reminds me of an MLP brush.

Post by: Buzzingbumblebee on May 31, 2012, 07:47:29 AM: I have one of those erasers, white with purple hair from childhood. And I have a watch somewhere, I need to find that, I think it's still in storage somewhere. I remember wearing that all the time when I was little :).

Post by: balletpot on May 31, 2012, 09:17:37 AM: When googling for the umbrella bag I came across two things. Suppose I can't post other peoples' pictures so I'll just give you the URLs. I saw one bag that looks just like mine but it's blue and has another umbrella: http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDMerchPages/G1_Bags/G1_Bags.htm (http://www.intothesea.com/MyLittlePony/IDMerchPages/G1_Bags/G1_Bags.htm)

Then I saw a totally different bag but it has the same umbrella as mine:

The picture is from a sales thread on the trading post, the person also had a sale for those items on the arena it says.

Post by: Yurusumaji on May 31, 2012, 05:16:25 PM: I love stuff like this. I'm so weird about how much I like bags/shirts/other types of merch from my favorite fandoms.

Thanks for sharing! These are some cool pieces!
