NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

[Blondine Arc-En-Ciel]

.
I went to where I work today to pick up my personal mail from the USA and to do some shopping. I had to rent a car for the day because there's a delay getting my insurance renewed. Let's say that there were six or seven items too big for my box and I had to get them at the window. All of them contained various RB items.

Let's say that I got the entire Emotions line minus one sprite. All are NWT. Most of the tags had a different message to the others so I'll put them up here for the curious...

All but one starts with "Hi, I'm (name of personage)...

G2532 Rainbow Brite ...the little girl who uses the colors of the rainbow to make your world brighter and your heart lighter.

G2535 Red Butler ...in charge of the color red. {The following sentence is used by all of the Color Kids and I won't type it out for each one} I'm one of the Color Kids who helps Rainbow Brite turn your world into a bright and happy place to live.

G2533 Canary Yellow ...always sunny and cheerful.

G2534 Patty O'Green ...and proud of being green.

G1075 Starlight ...the magical flying horse who is Rainbow Brite's best friend, carrying her swiftly wherever she wants to go.

G4006 Sprites ...Hi, I'm a sprite...one of the little workers that Rainbow Brite needs to keep our lives ever colorful and bright. {All five sprites have the same catalog number and the same tag. Their individual names and colors aren't mentioned so this phrase is used for all of them}

G1078 Lurky...Boo! I'm Lurky...a gloomy guy who hates everything colorful and wants to keep Rainbow Brite from doing her cheerful work. (All but Lurky came from the same place)

The only Emotions NWT doll I'm missing is G4006 Champ sprite.


I also got a lot of other stuff from the person that most of the Emotions dolls came from. They include the following hat sprites with tags; Champ, Hammy and Lucky. Champ's tag says "Get Physical". Hammy's says "Your future is great". Lucky's says "Good Luck".

Champ is wearing what seems to be short versions of Canary's leg warmers and they're sewn on. Hammy isn't wearing a hat of any kind and there's nothing to show that it was removed.

There were seven Mattel Stamp Happy stampers MOC. They are 7675 Comet followed by a rainbow tail; 7676, Starlite; 7677, Lurky; 7678, Twink; 7679, Red Butler; 7680, Rainbow and Twink; 7681, Murky. Does anyone know anything about these? Were there more of them?

MIB 9013 Glee (still need 9132 Merrily and 9136 Flutter)

Twink and Romeo hand sprites, loose

2 loose Starlites, one an Emotions in nice condition without tag and the other a played with and dirty regular one.

A large loose Romeo.

A set of three hanging store signs to go over the place where RB dolls and toys are sold.

A Gen 1 sticker book from Western (Golden Books)

MOOB (Mint Out Of Box) large Rainbow and Shy dolls.

And a big surprise: A loose large Champ that has a music box inside! Wind the key and it plays "Somewhere over the Rainbow"! Really!!! I've never seen or heard of this before. The music box looks like it was installed at the factory as there's no sign of tampering with Champ.

From other sources I got a very nice loose La La Orange complete with OJ and her booklet (wow!!!), Both MOC Toothpaste Toppers, and a small plastic Gen 3 Rainbow and Starlite set.

Now comes the bad news. Because I'm documenting a modeling project as it progresses, My camera and the area I use for photos isn't free at the moment. When it is, I'll photograph these items and post a link in Collecting.
