Comments/Trivia
  • 1 of 9 Rio Fashions released in 1987
  • 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.
  • This fashion is named after a Jem song title.
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

Other images of Time is Running Out (generally unproduced/prototypes/promotional figures) Differences from produced fashion (if any)
The following sources all use the same photograph, shown at the top of the page
  • 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair catalogue
  • 2nd year catalogue poster
  • 1987 Rio Fashion card photograph
- the mesh shirt is white, and appears to be a different pattern.
I don't think it was on the cartoon.
