I've never seen Megan with a pink stripe in her hair! She's really cute!
In the Inventory guide put out by Summer Hayes, her lists of items included with the SS version are lavender shoes, the purple bird brush,and purple standard comb. I bought a pair of lavender color shoes because of this accessory list in a lot spending more than I really wanted to. :huh:
Do you have an extra pair of pink shoes? :biggrin:
So I want to know where the purple bird brush and comb fact comes from? Someone mentioned maybe the mail order came with a purple bird brush - but I've never seen one of these MIB so maybe someone out there has a picture of them? Also that she came with lavender shoes? Mine has the same pink shoes as the first release...Another batch with a childhood collection I got some pieces. megan and dress, so soft sundance. but the shoes and ribbons looked like they were from the sweet dreams outfit. but no outfit. I kept those pieces aside, and still have them. but I really think the little girl traded a friend for the pony-wear bits to match the print on the dress better.

The Pink Stripe is actually from the Twice As Fancy Megan and Sundance set - She has a streak that turns pink in the sun like the Sunshine Ponies - Sundance also has a streak like that.
Lovely collection! I have every different version of Sundance (well, US releases, at least), but I only have one Megan and one Molly. I would really like to get the version of Megan with the larger eyes. I think she's so pretty!There is actually two versions of her with and without bangs - I used to own the no-bangs version but I think I accidentally sold it. Gotta find me another one.
Ooh, I've only seen the bangs version. Good luck finding the other one again!Lovely collection!

Sorry ladies...it took more digging than I thought to find the old picture*Drools* Oh I so need to find those other two now!

Can't comment on the brush and comb mystery because I'm pretty certain the UK release brush and comb are white and the ribbon for Sundance aqua (with Megan's being pink). That's 1986 anyhow, which is same year of issue I think as SS in the North American line. Our second release...can't comment on decisively because aside from wearing Country Jamboree, I don't know what other accessories or even the style of box.
I think it's probable the different NC shades of hair relate to these releases but I don't have either MIB. I have the first set complete with box but I didn't get the doll and pony with the rest of it so I can't be sure even on that basis.
My loose ponies also have slight variations, though. My pictures are not as good as ashlyne's, but still..

Things I have never seen.
UK second edition M+S wearing the aqua outfit in the package.
So soft M+S packaged with lavender shoes and a purple bird brush and comb.
With the two things you cited, FantasticFirefly, the SS accessories thing could just be a clerical error or confusion based on someone's mismemory. This isn't a set with a UK release, so it's not a UK variation, as sometimes happens in accessories...so I think it's possibly just a mistake someone's passed forward as canon. (But I might be wrong).
I just have never seen a fully intact with box set. I have it listed as a myth thus far. :)
What an interesting thread!! I don't really have anything to add (no MIB-anything G1 in my collection lol)-- but I do like Megan and Sundance. I only have regular Megan and Sundance, TAF Sundance by herself and BBE Sundance. I have a M&S thermos a friend of mine found at a thrift store, too. But that's it!

Love seeing the photos, especially of the MIB stuff. You guys have great collections!
Your picture is just too cute!! ^.^
I don't have nothing else to contribute to the thread, other than saying the Megan and Molly dolls are kinda creepy.. :lookround: :blush:

Looool! I have to admit, for a while I've thought the same! I was lucky enough to get an MIB original Megan and Sundance, and while I absolutely love the artwork and the Megan/Molly from the cartoons, I do agree the dolls are a little weird :p Though I think that about most dolls, never been a doll person. Hasbro's forte is definitely PONIES! I would like to one day get a loose Megan and Molly, just to complete my collection. (I think that the old Lady Lovely locks dolls would make a good Megan too, their faces look a bit better :p )
My favourite thing about Megan and Sundance is their outfits! I have 5 of the 6 Megan and Ponywear MOC, will have to take some photos when I get home and post!!
I dont believe we ever got her Jamboree set in box...I believe her releases varied only with apron design rather than full out outfit changes. Perhaps she was supposed to be released with the Jamboree set or perhaps it was a simple image swap on a leaflet (hardly the only case of this happening as LadyM pointed out).
It exists, 100% for sure. And that's what I love about the UK. No matter how much we think we know, there's always something waiting to surprise us :)
The image shoes shoes for Sundance. Also notice "Colours and contents may vary from theme illustrated" in the bottom right corner.
What's weird to me is that in the Country Jamboree back card, Sundance looks like she's in the CP pose like that strange one-off Sundance Ember1 got from the UK a while ago. On the normal back card, she's shown in her normal pose and Honeycomb is vaguely in her own pose as well.
Awesome! Nice find Taffeta :) I completely take that back. It must have been a much more limited release but the backcard is more than enough proof for me :)I think it probably was. I know you have the catalogues and stuff, and 1987 seems to have been a bit messed up. I genuinely thing it's related to what we didn't already have for the movie, and them trying to get that out in whatever form, so we got some odd things, like two Buttons and a Country Jamboree M&S...
I'm absolutely amazed my card is so unique. It's been sitting in my collection for over 15 years, and it's the only UK Megan and Sundance card I have. I thought it was the standard release all these years. I had no idea it was the first piece of proof for a UK line controversy. It was just blind luck I sent Taffeta a link to my UK backcard collection when I did.
Who knew?
due to never seeing the catalog photograph
What a fun thread! Also, I am curious about the big eyes and small eyes Megans. I love the big eyes one so much more. Are both versions equally easy to track down or is one rarer than the other?
LadyMoondancer: feel free to my picture on your blog if you put proper credit with it when you post it:)

Thanks so much! I'll give you credit and link to this thread. (LMK if you have something else you'd rather link to, like a blog or directly to your profile or something.)
I'll also link to your site, Taffeta. ;)

Do you mean regular & so-soft release Megan (who has large, almond-shaped eyes) vs. sunshine/twice as fancy release Megan (who has smaller rounder eyes)? Neither are all that hard to find, but there seems to be more of the regular Megans out there due to more releases over a longer period of time. If you want her complete with shoes, however, then you might have to look harder.
In the Inventory guide put out by Summer Hayes, her lists of items included with the SS version are lavender shoes, the purple bird brush,and purple standard comb. I bought a pair of lavender color shoes because of this accessory list in a lot spending more than I really wanted to. :huh:

What a cute thread. I love all the photos.. Sundance is one of my favorites too.. Here is the proto cp sundance with megan and proto painting time :)
And sundance was bought on german eBay :) So who knows where she originated from but she does have many characteristics in common with painting time and other prototypes. There is a catalogue photo floating around somewhere of a cp sundance and megan apparently. I have been unable to track it down but I have heard it exists. Perhaps she is the prototype from that catalogue photo.
