Jem and The Holograms - by Integrity Toys and Hasbro

Inspired by the characters created by Hasbro over two decades ago and cherished by fans and collectors alike ever since, this nostalgic retro doll line is designed to pay homage to both the animated series and its original companion doll line, which was originally marketed from 1985 to 1987. Created for fans by fans of the rock ‘n shock pink haired pop-culture icon and her outrageous world, this classic commemorative line will feature the high-end details, quality accessories and ultra-limited edition sizes that fans of Integrity Toys have come to appreciate through the years. Hasbro in collaboration with the creative team at Integrity Toys, Inc., proudly presents a glamorous series of high-end fashion dolls based on the 1980’s ground breaking animated series JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS!



Hollywood Jem is the first doll in a series of characters based on the hit 80’s animated series JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS. A long time fan favorite, Hollywood Jem is ready to be added to your collection at long last! Based on a costume worn in the two-part episode of the same name, Hollywood Jem comes complete with a totally 80’s, screen accurate look which includes:

* Fully articulated, highly detailed 12” (30.5 cm) fashion doll with cotton candy pink hair and hand applied eyelashes
* Screen accurate costume with couture like finish
* Miniature Jemstar earings
* Miniature Hollywood Star award plaque
* Shoes, Bracelets and realistic microphone and stand
* Doll stand, instructions, souvenir post card and certificate of authenticity.

 
This special edition doll will be available from the Hasbro Toy Shop at booth # 3329 at Comic Con International in San Diego and the approximate retail price will be US $125.00

 
The doll looks great in the promo photos, as far as looking exactly like the cartoon character goes. Luckily it is not at all my style so I will not be getting her. But I am sure fans of the series will crave her, even though the price is high.



She reminds me of Olivia Newton-John in the 1985 video clip for Culture Shock:

  1. Hello from Spain: thank you for reporting this association. I agree with you that this collection is not my style. I think the years 80 are not very elegant. Too color. I see that the price is expensive. Keep in touch

  2. Almost everything about this doll looks awesome. The exception being the "mean" eyebrows. That's why most of us see "Misfits" in the face.

  3. mmm I think that the face its more Misfits than Jem ,the doll its very detailed ,but theres something that doesn´t translate to the integrity dolls and thats the shiny sparkly colors and the fun ,also the price its expensive ,I guess this dolls are not for alll of us(fans)

    It's Showtime Synergy! change me into JEM!

    Hasbro and Integrity Toys are doing something great having made a new Jem doll for 2012. The Jem dolls and cartoon are in the hearts of many and how often do we get the oppurtunity to have a Jem doll reboot? I feel that, with our input, they could implement some ideas in making a more ideal doll for us then this new version which would generate more interest in their product. Here i gave the 2012 Jem Dolls a revision in photoshop. How do you think it compares? How do you think the doll should have come out? Even if its just an eyepaint retouch I'd love to see others reworking of the doll Please comment! Share photos! Redo Jem!

    They plan to release more dolls, so i encourage you to tell hasbro and integrity toys how you feel contact Integrity Toys :
