  • First Year Only
  • A Flip Side Fashion
  • It was not named after a Jem song
  • It is one of the easiest fashions to find
    		•
  • City Lights and the other Flip Sides in the 1986 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue (see left) The glasses look opaque, other than that, looks like the produced fashion.
  • City Lights in the 1986 German Leaflet (same photo appears in the 1986 Belgium catalogue): had yellow shoes and no sunglasses.
  • The drawing of City Lights on the 1986 Flip Side Fashions box art is nearly spot on.  Good job!
  • It did appear on the cartoon.
  • It is one of the outfits featured in the Rock Backstager commercial. It may be in other commercials I haven't yet screen captured for this site.

    The back of a card/box always says what is contained in the fashion.  The bold words in my descriptions are what Hasbro themselves stated came with the fashion.
    INCLUDES: Pink maxi coat, yellow mini dress, cloche, belt, tights, collar necklace, pumps and sunglasses.
    Pink maxi coat; Dark orange-pink velveteen trench coat, two large pockets, velcro closure in front. 
    yellow mini dress; Bright Yellow spandex mini tank dress; slit up the sides. 
    Belt; Purple lamé; long enough to fit over the raincoat.  Velcro closure. Sewn on silver lamé "J" buckle. 
    		cloche;  Bright Yellow Spandex, matches dress.

    		tights; Dark purple stretch tights, elasticized waist.
    		collar necklace; Plastic purple necklace (matches shoes)
    Pumps: Royal Purple straight edged, are exactly the same as those from "We're Off and Running."
    		Sunglasses. Purple,  more "feminine shaped" ones. 
  • My NRFB fashion has the  "triangular" shaped nose part (shown left).  There are slightly differently shaped ones out there that either belong to Rappin,  and/or some 1st Edition Rios.  I do not know of other City Lights fashions that came with different glasses, but it could have happened.
  • They are not opaque, as seen in the catalogue photo, but clear.
