I actually loaned out 99% of my G1 collection for the film (including dream castle & paradise estate! :shocked: )
The Scrub-a-Dub Tub play set came with a towel: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Scrub-a-Dub-Tub
I'm sure several people here have the complete set and might perhaps be willing to lend that towel. :)

Good luck, I hope you get compensated if they lose or damage something :huh:
Sadly, I imagine towels fall into that category of “toss it—nobody wants our used bath products”. :( Probably more ended up in the garbage than in yard sales, thrift stores, or the like. What a shame! It looks like they had some pretty designs...
Ohmigosh, I go to the same university as the film maker.

I have a fairly skanky towel I got in a random lot or something. It’s stained brown in spots. Lots of spots. It’s fairly scary, and one of those things you want to use a stick to interact with. I put it to the side somewhere since I never toss anything MLP related. I had no idea it was so rare!
Fyi - I once allowed a student film crew to use my apartment for their shoot back in my college days. I had some ponies out(they wanted to use my apartment because it had “interesting” stuff on the shelves), and the lights they used faded the pink hair on at least one pony. Film lighting uses some serious lights. It wouldn’t surprise me if it they could do some minor “sun” damage to playsets too he shoot was long enough. They were only shooting for one day, and the lights did a number on my Lickety Split’s hair. If you have any ponies with package-fresh fade-able pink hair, you might want to pull them just in case. It didn’t bleach the hair white or anything, but it was noticeable where the lights hit it.
From what I can remember, the towel has several poop-brown(dark poop brown - at least it wasn’t crusty!) splotches about the size of an open hand on it. They’re stains - they’re not coming out. And there’s no ignoring them either. And in general, the towel was pretty worse for wear. As I said, it’s poke-it-with-a-stick condition:/
Sadly, I can’t even remember where I stuck the darn thing. I have a *massive* collection. I’ve been sorting and organizing my collection for years in an attempt to get it under control. There’s probably dozens of places that towel could be. Since it was so nasty, it didn’t get put into my regular merchandise bin. It probably got stuck in some random sort bin somewhere.
Also, unfortunately my husband is *extremely* high risk for the virus, so we haven’t been in a public building since March. If we didn’t have to drive the cars around to keep them from completely dying from non-use, we’d never leave the house. Neither of us can risk getting exposed. We don’t leave the house at all, and I just can’t break quarantine.
We’re also ground zero for postal issues. We’re down to 1-3 random days of postal service per week, and all incoming and outgoing mail is generally delayed for up to a month - sometimes more. I never know when we’ll have mail service, and I can’t risk going to the actual post office to ship anything out. UPS is also pretty funky since the post office is overwhelmed. Getting my husband’s medication has been an adventure:/
This is my local mail sorting facility(and where all my mail, incoming and outgoing, passes through):

I wish I could help you out, but sadly it’s just not possible right now:( Even if it was in pristine condition and I knew where it was, I still can’t risk going out, and the postal delays would likely delay it past the time it would even be useful for you. If it even showed up at all that is. It’s the perfect storm of problems.
I am sorry:(
I wish you the best of luck with your search!

I think this is probably what happened to most of the G1 towels too. I think there was also MLP bars of soap (in MLP packages not shaped like ponies)?

This probably wouldn't work if they wanted vintage..
But there is this towel that uses vintage art : https://www.walmart.com/ip/Trevco-Sportswear-HBRO294-BTW2-30x60-My-Little-Pony-Retro-Classic-Ponies-Cotton-Front-Poly-Back-Beach-Towel-44-White-30-x-60-in/584591259?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1148
But no towel would of been that colorful in the 90s, due to printing limitations...I assume.

There was definitely soap in those heart-shaped ceramic keepsakes, but I don't think it was pony shaped soap, just round with the imprint of a pony on it? We had them in our gift cupboard (to give to people for birthdays haha) but I remember I ended up taking one with Bowtie for myself :P
