OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

  • 4" Long x 3.5" Tall x 1.5" Deep

  • Battery powered - uses 9-volt battery

  • Transistor radio - A small portable radio that uses a semiconductor device called a transistor in it's circuitry. This type of radio is now obsolete, due to fragility, short lifespan, and excessive power use

  • Has a detachable lanyard-esque wrist loop (made of PCV) for portability

  • Hard to find in good condition

    • Often found with the paint peeling off, especially around her face

    • Often found with faded/fading colors, including having the logo faded off

    • Difficult to find working versions, which make sense (as mentioned before, transistor radios don't tend to live long) - but I have seen listings that at least claim that the radio they are selling still works, so some that weren't used much may still be working to this day

  • There is a Walkman-style tape player & headphones set that also features Sunbeam, which presumably is meant to match with this radio

  • Currently I have yet to find an in-box photo of it

Comments

This website is purely for educational/archival purposes. I do not own the rights to My Little Pony, and most photos on this site are not my own. I provide image sources if the source is still available online, but there are far too many photos for me to ask each person for permission (and some are from users who are inactive or not possible to contact -- i.e., from sites like Worthpoint) - The whole point of the site is collecting as many photos as possible. I try to ask permission on social media or forums that I'm active on, especially if I'm using a lot of photos from one person. If you own one of the photos on this site and do not want it here, message me and I will remove it. This isn't meant to take credit from or upset anyone; It is just for fun and to help record the existence of these toys. If you are made uncomfortable by me using your photos, I will remove them for you.
