Title: Weird G1 UK Blue Plastic/Red Hair Clip - Source Found!
Post by: silverdawn on November 22, 2017, 01:36:41 PM

Heya!

I noticed this accessory topic awhile ago but kind of forgot about it until today.  I'd post on it, but I think it's locked

Anywhoo, I was going through a set of UK Club Membership packs today from a lady who collected them as they came out.  She kept each in its original envelope or plastic sleeve.  She was also meticulous about keeping everything else properly together in her collection as well, so I think it's unlikely it was mixed with anything else.  And as far as I know, she never collected the comics.

When I opened the 1990 pack, this little beauty popped out

I hope this helps clear up the mystery :)

Similar clips were included with the Pretty Ups bu those had multiple colors of hair I believe

Yup, Pretty Ups (no tinsel) and the Dance 'n Prance ponies (with tinsel) but this one has been a puzzle for a long time. Lots of UK collectors have it but no one knew where it came from.
I've updated my accessory website with the info :)
