Hasbro package contents listing	Includes: Sweatshirt, pants and boat shoes.
Comments/Trivia	1 of 9 Rio Fashions released in 1987 Rio Fashions are among the only Jem items to bear the date of 1987. This fashion is named after a Jem (Misfits) song title. 1987 Rio fashions did not appear in the French or UK 1987 Hasbro catalogues; presumably they were not available there.

	Sweatshirt: made of silky material, black trim is a textured lamé. I have heard of the black on this shirt leaving stains on Rio's arms. Silky material frays easily
	pants: Elasticized around ankles (jogging pants) red, cottony material. Material is not the same as the shirt.
	boat shoes: black boat shoes, zig zag pattern on soles.

Packaging Variants: A listing of the packaging that Universal Appeal can be found in, that I know of, so far!
*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!
