Comments/Trivia

  • 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.

*I don't own all of these fashions NRFB so I can't say which, if any posters and inserts originally came with it.  Bold listings are those I have used to create this ID page.  Anything in Italics I haven't actually seen but have good reason to believe exists.  If you have any photos or information/corrections to share, I'd love to hear about it!

- the mesh shirt is white, and appears to be a different pattern.
I don't think it was on the cartoon.
