Other than my little pony, I don't think I recognise any of these characters. Hopefully you're about to make me feel young and not old!
-
They're 1980s to 1990s... so you're young. Like me. I AM YOUNG

This is a singular year in the 1980s. If someone has a run of US published Marvel comics this was an ad that ran promoting the fall cartoon line up.
Rainbow Brite was 1984-86
Gummi Bears was 1984-1991
Jem was 1985-88
This was the fall line up in 1985 or 1986. Im inclined towards 1985 as there was a Strawberry Shortcake animated release that year.
-
According to my quick search, Popples first aired in 1986 in the USA, so that probably rules out 1985.
-
But 1985 is the last Strawberry Shortcake until 1992. Maybe Im misremembering the context of the image or it was reused for other purposes overseas?

She-ra in the top left. In front is a gummy bear (its still on Disney+), Rainbow Bright in the middle, a carebear to the left and Strawberry Shortcake on the right of the MLP.
-
It’s truly outrageous you didn’t mention Jem.
-
I didn't ever watch Jem.
Or that troll with the heart ears so I don't remember the name offhand.
-
Well, that’s
truly, truly, truly outrageous.

They made a new She-Ra show on Netflix back in 2018 and it's fuckin' awesome.

Back right in the pink dress is Jem, from Jem and the Holograms.
-
Jemm from Jemm and the Holograms in the back right.
This was the ABC (USA not Australia) Saturday lineup
-
-
Thos is a print ad that ran in Marvel comics for the lineup on a US network.
The back: She-Ra of She-Ra Princess of Power (He-Man spinoff) and Jemm of Jemm and the Holograms (show about a band)
The fromt: A Carebear I dont recall which one,I dont recall the blue thing, A Gummi Bear (this was the start of Disney doing high quality shows on major networks on Saturdays this was a good cartoon for the time), Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, and StrawberryShortcake.
-
The blue thing is a Popple
