FIddlePhan, maybe I could give you some information from the comics? I currently don't own a scanner, but I have some photos on my site, Everything Dreamer. Just type in 'Everything Dreamer G1 comics' and it'll come onto the page. there is some general information there as well as photos. Lady Moondancer also has a G1 comic tumblr, Heck Yeah Pony Scans, but it's mostly defunct now, it seems.
Hope I helped with it.
