G1 UK Comic Gifts

[LadyGuinevere]

I'm on the hunt for information on the gifts that came with the G1 UK Comics!I have a fair few already myself, but know I am missing a bunch and would love to see pictures of anything people have, even if I have them already myself (as the comics were not always consistent!)

I have been collating the info into a list - It's currently in the form of an excel spreadsheet, but I would like to expand this in the future. A copy of the sheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OZIe_l7I6QUE6SXCmDZBcb9omXEhE9QvhPmGuEajsl4/edit?usp=sharing

(N.B. I don't own all of the ones on the spreadsheet, it's just information only. I'm also happy to share pics of what I have )

There are also some items I believe are or may be comic gifts, but I have been unable to tie them down to a specific issue as yet, so hoping to gain some direction on that! They can be found here:

So anything anyone can share would be an awesome help! <3

The Half Note badge is definitely a comic gift.

But I can't tell you which one off the top of my head.

I feel like I've seen the Tassels image before, but not the badge. I feel like it's the same as the one on the handkerchief set that was also out, featuring the four MGR ponies we had in the UK. I used to have three of them but think I sold them, but the picture looks very familiar even though I can't place the badge. I find it weird that it says Hasbro Int'l on it, which is unusual at this time surely..?

The Bright Eyes stencil/ruler/bookmark is definitely a comic gift.  I think it came with issue 203 but can't remember off hand and all my comics are in storage.

I believe the bracelet is also a comic gift  from the Pony Tales era but don't know which issue.

Hmm... I don't have the Tassels badge but I think I stopped getting the comics just after the 200 mark so it's still possible it came with them late on. I have the bangle in purple and that ruler with the stencils and I'd guess it was the comic not the club. The paper puzzle I recently scanned... I'd guess it was from my little pony and friends in approx 1991 but that's because it says on it, I don't know what issue it would have been.

I've uploaded the pics I scanned recently in case you need them

Btw, I've now uploaded the gifts I have to a folder here:

Interesting... I removed Half Note as someone else had said it was definitely from a card rather than a comic!

Pretty sure that the image is the same as on the handkerchief, so I'm assuming it was a stock image of some kind? It could be from a card also - I included it as it's the same size as the comic badges

Excellent - issue 203 is what I had the bookmark down as being a possible for, so that matches up nicely! Although Friends 27 also had a bookmark listed so could be either... or both!

There is a bangle listed as being with MLP and Friends 39, which may be this one, but I've not seen it confirmed. There are at least three different colours though.

Awesome, thanks ChrissyTree! I shall go take a look. You definitely have some in there that I've not seen before - are they all your originals? (I think I stopped shortly before the 200 mark, when they started repeating stories).

I was thinking the puzzle thing may actually be a picture frame? There's a slot at one end where you could slide a picture in, and Friends #38 apparently came with a picture frame. Of course Friends #28 came with a jigsaw, so it could go either way, but since we both have one without any pieces maybe would lean more towards picture frame?

[Chrissytree]

They're all originals yes. That one is a puzzle, for some reason I didn't take a scan of the other side as it's the same as the front

There's a photo frame in this pic, have you got that one?

That flutter comb explains why I had two Forget-me-not combs... but not why I also had two Honey Suckle and two Lily ones!

Do you think that Half Note badge might be from the issue with the Rocking Beat ponies on the front?

[Artemesia's Garden]

Really interesting, cheers!

[Taffeta]

I stopped and thought about that with the Half Note one when I saw it, but no, I really don't think it goes with a card. I remember it being taped, and that wouldn't happen on a card - unless, of course, it was on a card and then leftovers found their way to a comic. But I don't think so.

 My sister has a badge that has one of the MGR ponies on it that did come from a card but I'm pretty sure it isn't the one you have there. I think it had a green background, but I think you're right about the stock images.

I can't get at my comics right now, unfortunately.

I've dug my comics out of storage and yes, it is issue 203 for the bookmark.

I don't have the bangle in my own collection but have definitely seen a photo of it on the front of one of the Tales comics.

[ashlyne]

I saved an image of issue #164 if you'd like it.   I pulled it awhile ago, so I'm not sure whose it is, but I can PM it to you. It has a blue princess pick as the "Hair Slide" bonus.

Oh, I hadn't realised that was a picture frame! So it does look like that is the frame and then the other item is the jigsaw. Does yours have the pieces to go with it? I think I actually prefer it as a frame, lol.

That's definitely possible for the Half Note badge. And I wouldn't rule out there having been more combs issued - you never know with Hasbro! Or you could have been like me and pick up random combs/brushes at carboot sales.

It is possible it was both... but unlikely, given the numbers that would be required. Will just have to keep an eye out for more attached ones

One of my sisters also had a birthday badge with an MGR on it, as my mum retrieved it and gave it to me a couple of months back. I think it may have been Flower Bouquet? Definitely larger than this one though.

I've dug my comics out of storage and yes, it is issue 203 for the bookmark.

I don't have the bangle in my own collection but have definitely seen a photo of it on the front of one of the Tales comics.

Fantastic, thank you When I bought it originally I had no idea what it was, then I thought it was the stencil before realising it was more likely to be the bookmark. Glad to see it confirmed though

The bangle I'd always been under the impression was a comic gift. They used to be astoundingly plentiful and all over the place, but not so much now! Mostly I see the pink and lilac ones, but there is a hot pink one as well.

I saved an image of issue #164 if you'd like it.   I pulled it awhile ago, so I'm not sure whose it is, but I can PM it to you. It has a blue princess pick as the "Hair Slide" bonus.

Thank you so much ashlyne! I never realised they used princess picks as a gift too! It might explain why I thought my comb was long gone, but found one in one of our boxes.

Someone on FB has found the Half Note badge on card. Would link it here, but not sure I can as it's a closed group

[sweetbubbles]

[LadyGuinevere]

Aha! So you are here! <3 Wasn't sure if you were or not

Did a quick run through my stash of saved pictures and I found pictures of two other cards from the same range, but strangely they have a different size badge?

[tootie_tails]

I'm interested in these too. I see those badges in uk auctions now and then and have been wondering about them.
The Lady Lessons badge, is it from the magazine too?

I once got a Kitty pet in a uk lot, without Baby Katie. I remember someone saying it came with the uk magazine at some point. Did the magazine come with any of the three pets, randomly?

Also wondering about a sticker I have, showing Jabber and Jebber with a metallic background. The back side of it has traces of something, like a dab of something sticky, as if it was once attached to a magazine or something.

[Chrissytree]

Yes it's a jigsaw. If I hadn't put it away again I'd send a scan of the front but it's the same as the back.  I didn't actually get anything from car boots that wasn't ponies themselves so whatever I have is either bought or from the club, cards or comics.

I got Kitty from the Comic too.
The Jabber Jebber one was from My Little Pony and Friends issue 10 It's listed as Newborn Twin sticker on LadyG's file.
