Comments/Trivia
  • 1 of 9 Rio Fashions released in 1987
  • The name of this fashion is a Jem (Misfits) song title.
  • Rio Fashions are among the only Jem items to bear the date of 1987.
  • 1987 Rio fashions did not appear in the French or UK 1987 Hasbro catalogues; presumably they were not available there.
Produced Variants So far, I have seen this fashion sold in the following packaging. Since they were all made in China, unless noted elsewhere I don't know if there are any country-of-release related differences or not:
  • US issue 1987 photograph Rio Fashions card. Made In China H22 (fashion featured on this ID page is this issue)
  • Canadian issue, 1987 photograph Rio Fashions card
To read more about the differences in the fashion packaging, please go to Jem Fashion Box Variants.

Other images of Congratulations (generally unproduced/prototypes/promotional figures) Differences from produced fashion, if any.
The following sources all use the same photograph, shown left
  • 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair catalogue
  • 2nd year catalogue poster
  • 1987 Rio Fashion card photograph
looks very much like the produced fashion.
I don't believe this fashion was featured on the cartoon.
