Do any of you know if any more of these magazines exist?

That would definitely be awesome to have.

Yes- there are two. The one has the dress-up dolls on the front (the link you have) the other one has Lala, RBB, Buddy and Patty. They are both pretty rare, but I had a much harder time getting the one with the four dolls. The one with Moonglow is cool because you get nice big pics of the Stormy doll (prototype).

They are like extra super big product booklets- they have recepies and photos of the dolls and sprites set up in little scenes (like having a picnic)

It took me forever to find both- but they do pop up from time to time on the German ebay. WHen they do come up they are not terribly expensive- I am thinking like $25 but it has been a while...

***** Correction- there are 3. The first one that came out had Rainbow Brite on it- see post below.

Thanks Galacticatt! I'll definitely keep my eyes open for the other one you mentioned

And yeah, I paid around $30 with shipping included for this one. I don't suppose you could scan the front and back covers of the other, could you?

I can't scan but I can probably take some pictures and upload them if you want?

Sorry it took so long- kept forgetting my camera cord at home ... there are 31 pages.

Here is the front & back

The middle has things like new products, cute scenes of the dolls, a comic and some coloring pages.. here are a few examples to give you an idea

Okay- a friend (who is much better at keeping track of these things than I) reminded me there is actually yet a third booklet- he says:

There's a third one, which was actually the first one printed. It has the same cover layout as the one dated 1/86 but a large RB was on the cover instead of the the four dolls on the one from 1/86. It featured the Gen 1A release dolls and toys. The original one has no date or series number on it. The second one from 1/86 had the Gen 1B release dolls on it. The third one was 1/87 with the Dress Up dolls.

I do seem to remember this one too- I totally forgot about it and don't have it. Guess I'd better start keeping an eye on the German ebay myself!
