I'm not actively collecting right now (no fun money) but one of my goals is to get merch with the Rainbow Curls, or specifically Raincurl.
These are what I kind of know about:
Lunch box and thermos
Fabric of some kind? (sheets, sleeping bag?)
I think there's a puzzle?
???
Does anyone know? If you have pictures, I would appreciate those too :)

There is a lunch box and thermos. There is also puzzle and sleeping bag. I also have what I believe is a curtain. I’m not sure how to get pictures on here. I have everything except the puzzle which is definitely on my want list. My little wiki has pictures of the puzzle I believe. I adore the Rainbow Curls. I also bought fan made pins of the Rainbow Curl Ponies by Studio BMFC and they’re beautiful!

I have the thermos, and use it to store misc. pony accessories. I’d love to actually have raincurl as a pony though lol.

I used to have the Rainbow Curl puzzle. I'm not sure if I still do. My childhood puzzles are a little hard to get to right now.
Here's a pic of the puzzle from the Wiki

I don't know if it counts as merch but they were of course in the comic for a period.
I have this feeling they might be in a book as well but that may be my misremembering.

Thanks! The only one I've ever seen for sale was the lunch box and thermos (together). I bid on them but didn't win.

Oh, thanks! I didn't think to check the wiki. Raincurl isn't on it :( but I would still totally get it.

Oh? That's interesting. What did they do in the comic?

My brain is backing your brain, Taffeta. I can remember the book, I know I had the book but I genuinely can't remember the book. That or we're suffering from the opposite of collective amnesia and have convinced ourselves of something but hey-ho. :what:
Edit: A look through the wiki and: "Rainbow Rider's birthday adventure". http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/a/a9/RainbowRider.jpg (http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/a/a9/RainbowRider.jpg)

Yay :) Well done aria_elwyn, we're both not mad :D
That's the book I was thinking of.
@Black Curtains - they would've been in more than one issue. I know there's one where Rainbow Magic (Ringlet over there) is granting wishes. I also remember one with Rainbow Rider (Streaky?) on the cover...there are probably more. They tended to feature the ponies available that year so there are probably a few issues with them in. It's possible one of them was a calendar page as well. Rainbow Cloud (Raincurl) was definitely in the comic as well. Without getting all the comics down though (which would cause a pony avalanche) I can't be 100% on which issues.
I'm not sure if LM has some on her heckyeah ponyscans blog. A lot of the comic stuff online tends to come from the earlier issues, but you'd be looking for ones around 1991.

There's also a UK book, with UK names. Rainbow Rider's adventure??? Will have to look it up, but I do have that book

Raincurl is on the cover of the 1993 annual

You're right! Rainbow Cloud (Raincurl) is on the cover of that year's annual. Which means she's probably also inside. Sadly that's not one I have in my book doubles pile so I can't check if she is or not.
I also checked whether she was illustrated on the Uk card but she isn't. It's Rainbow Magic that is. Rainbow Rider (unicorn) was the posterchild pony for the year so features on the front of the insert. No sign of Cloud though.
