Two years beyond the 35th anniversary, and it seemed the line was back to stay. Our imaginations ran wild again, anything felt possible! At this point IT has already released alot of iconic fashions, but there are still so many amazing ones left that would look great in IT doll form, aswell as unreleased characters.
Jem fans were very excited to see what else was to come. Fans dreamt of
everything from repeats of fashions in different colors, fashions that would match previous ones,
extraordinary iconic cartoon looks like magicians and mermaids, the iconic Permanent Wave for Kimber, more characters,
Red Johnny Mac and Jem as Beauty, a new Zipper, Flash 'n Sizzle Jem, a new Rapture and Minx matching the Perfect Match Riot, a new Danse,
and discussed most of all was a new Synergy in her computer form.
Second announcement was the most iconic of the remaining looks to choose from of the first year 80's fashion,
Command Performance,
and also appeared in the cartoon with another color, and even as a re-colored version on a doll called Flash 'n Sizzle
in 1987.
IT announced it in an online webinar, and it turned out they choose the cartoon coloring. Also announced at the same
time was a set of three fashions, a Jem look so iconic they could have made it long ago, the unreleased 1988 doll
American Beauty which also appeared in the cartoon, Jetta matching outfits for the other Misfits Award Night outfits,
and a third version of Jem's main dress but this time in a fabric made to hold better in time compared to the
previous releases which some fans had some bad luck with.
New this year was the stands, even two new kinds of stands. First ones had the same entire look as the 35th anniversary stands,
but with the regular logo instead, and
no holes in the sides to attach a cord, since no dolls this year came with cords. These stands stands were also offered to
purchase separately, packaged in sets of three. And the second version of new stands, came with the Mind Games Rapture and Minx, and
are black with a new print.
Unfortunately in early 2022, IT announced they would be announcing one
last collectible this year, and then the line would end again. It turned out the last
collectible was a very exciting set of Rapture and Minx, in their outfits that match
the 2020 Riot doll, from Houdini Magic. Some of the coolest outfits they wore in the cartoon in my opinion, and both
in different head sculpts than the previous versions came with.
Although these Rapture and Minx dolls were meant to be part of the 35th anniversary line, matching Riot, Integrity
Toys addeda completely new kind of stand with golden glitter and a golden logo on.
The fun didn't stop there though, atleast not for Jem fans with imagination that had been dreaming of a
Jem and Red Johnny Mac set from Beauty And The Rock Promoter. No such thing was released, but a redhead male doll
called Maverick, in an outfit that could easily be a substitute for those who wanted Red Johnny Mac. Many Jem fans
agreed this was a great replacement option.
Is it too early to dream about a 40th Anniversary line? Well we Jem fans already know a whole lot of things
we would want for it! A new Synergy doll and her computer form, Permanent Wave outfit for Kimber,
mermaid Jem and The Holograms dolls, and alot more.
Off-site information about these dolls:
The very first time Roxy became a doll by IT, they used the expression "Roxy Rumbles", which is the title of an episode
where Roxy was featured. And now she is
finally released in the outfit associated with that expression. Or actually
even both of the two outfits at once, released as two dolls at once!
Roxy seems to have gotten this fashion, which IT refers to as "Polka Dot dress", designed for her own episode
(when Jetta's version was also created),
but the look was based on previous somewhat matching fashions of Pizzazz and Stormer. This fashion is
seen in two of her own music videos "I'm Gonna Change" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!".
This is a hit choice by IT, a character that hasn't been released many times in this line, released
in a fashion that isn't just one of the remaining ones from the doll line, but known from a special
moment in the cartoon that is all about Roxy. Not all characters had a moment that stood out this much
in the cartoon, and especially that was associated with a new fashion, so IT really nailed it.
And Roxy happens to be one of my absolute favorite characters.
Pink isn't the most common color for Roxy, but here we get two very pink outfits. Such a great job
on the outfit, which looks so much like in the cartoon. Look at all those details up close, very
impressive, perfection. Wow, they actually made that purple purse of hers from the cartoon! And the earrings! And shoes! I could just stare
at this all day. I want it. I need it. So gimme gimme gimme.
Very impressive cartoon accurate miniature paper prints, in detail.
Take a look at the lottery ticket and Statement of damages and compare to the episode.
Among these amazing cartoon-accurate details, are some small changes, like the straps of the top,
which in the cartoon went around the back of the neck, and some differences in shape and color tones
of the handbag, aswell as the looks of the lottrery ticket and State of damages note.
What a cool idea to make the package into the entrance door to the House of Glamour. And did you
notice in the promotional pictures that the doors are actually clear plastic, so it really looks
like the doors from the cartoon. It practically becomes a playset.
Sold in the same set as Millionaire Roxy.

This is the outfit that probably all Jem fans come to think of when you refer to Roxy Rumbles.
Roxy's millionaire dress which she purchases at the House of Glamour after she left the band the Misfits.
It's seen in the music video
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!", and was probably a tribute to Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend",
and perhaps also Madonna's "Material Girl" which was released a couple of years before the Jem episode.
The name Misfits infact even has a connection to Marilyn since "The Misfits" was the title of her last
finished movie.
This is one of the most glamorous looks of Roxy, and here she has a change of hairstyle aswell. A very logical choice for
release as an IT doll. This doll is likely the favorite of most Jem fans among the two Roxy dolls in this
set, or in the entire line. Definitely one of my favorite dressed in the line.
IT infact let us vote in a poll in 2015 for this outfit to be made already, where they
called it "Millionaire Roxy" already then, and most of the other options have since become dolls.
And many times over the years Jem fans have asked for this to be made. It took seven years, but here it is!
IT surprises us with a new daring facepaint based on the 80's doll. In the cartoon she wears her regular
makeup as seen on the other doll in this set, with this dress, but the green eyemakeup looks so cool matched
to her pink dress. Only Roxy, the baddest of the Misfits, can look this tough and glamorous at the
same time.
Roxy often got the best jewelries in the cartoon, and IT actually even made her necklace for this dress. And
the earrings, and a bunch of bracelets!!! Well they aren't a 100% match in shape from the cartoon, but
very close! And even one more bracelet than she had in the cartoon. These jewelries are sure to be popular
among none-Jem IT collectors. And she even gets shopping bags from the House of Glamour.
IT shows alot of love with their attention to details. This release really is a dream come true, a
pink dream. The only thing some fans were concerned with was getting two Roxy dolls at once. But I prefer
getting two entire dolls rather than separate heads.
Sold in the same set as Roxy Rumbles, also referred to as Misfits Roxy.

Truly outrageous rock star and celebrity extraordinaire, the mysterious JEM herself makes an appearance in a classic look inspired by both the hit 80's TV show JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and the original toy line by Hasbro! Brought to fans by fans, this love letter to the main star of the show brings on the glamour in one of her more playful looks, and she can't wait to express the many fashion moods that she's in... Strike a pose. JEM is here and she's a hit!
This is a mix of a cartoon fashion and the doll Flash 'n Sizzle, both of which were different colored versions
of one of the remaining 80's doll fashions from the first year, the On Stage fashion Command Performance.
To me, this is a very 80's dress, and IT made it amazing!
I'm happy it did not include Jerrica's "corresponding" hoodie though, since it's not a very fashionable piece.
This is a memorable outfit that appeared alot in the cartoon. Well mostly in early episodes.
And it has an interesting story, since it started out as blue in doll prototype pictures, but
became turquoise in the 80's fashion, purple in the cartoon, and pink/lightblue on the Flas 'n Sizzle doll.
So IT actually covered four fashions in one here, and obviously choose the best color. I really like
when they refer to the cartoon. And the chrome print on the dress is a very nice looking addition which
made the whole look alot classier.
Although the top part of the dress looks alot darker than in the cartoon.
The haircolor looks the exact same as the previous two Jem dolls, which I hope they keep using on any future Jem dolls, since
it looks so close to the 80's doll and cartoon color and feels so full.
I like how they didn't place the hairbow on the doll, but in a plastic bag, since it can be so hard to
remove from the doll's hair.
I very much appreciate the new zigzag-shaped bracelets, based on ones from the second year of the 80's line. Also very nice
to get another microphone for Jem.
The shoes are also in a new shape, which is a first for this line, because they come in full plastic piece as
the heel and and outsole.
And I really like the beautiful retro packaging which is referring
to one of my favorite moments in the cartoon, the music video "Love Is Doin' It To Me", and the
packaging is actually a carry-case, with a sturdy metal handle. A nice way to store the doll,
but if the inner packaging isn't stored inside, it isn't tight enough to stay close on its own.
So, instead of Farewell Jem in 2017, this became the last Jem, as far as we know. Very nice that they made three more Jem's after
2017, and this retro look covered another one from the 80's doll line which made alot of Jem fans happy.

Signature classic JEM stage look composed of a ¾ sleeve mini-dress made in shimmery satin fabric, as requested by fans.
The third time in this line that this look is released.
But the reason is not the same as for Glitter 'n Gold Rio. This is Jem's most iconic dress, no noubt.
A re-release is great for anyone who missed out collecting this line when it first started, because
this would probably be the most wanted fashion.
But other than this being a slightly different pink than the previous two, one of which had the red
belt instead, this is infact made of a different fabric, meant to last longer compared to the
previous two which were made of a pleather material. Depending on where you live, like in warm places,
and how much you use the fashion of the previous releases, it can start to break. Which
is a very sad thing for a collector. IT has listened to the fans, and made this version that will last longer.
It will be exciting to see the three dresses up close in reality and compare fabrics and colors.
This is a pre-order which means IT makes as many as we order. I think this could have sold quite
well if it was released to the public in a high edition size. And any collector who was willing to
jump in collecting these dolls if they were able to get this particular fashion, will miss out again
if they didn't happen to be a W club member months ahead of the announcement of this fashion.
Not easy to review a fashion I haven't seen yet, since it's still months from its release. But
it looks great! They certainly did a perfect belt. Personally I like the slightly brighter color of
the dress seen on the 80's doll and in over 90% of the episodes. But I guess the first five episodes
where this darker pink version was seen, is more iconic to some, aswell as the 80's doll box art
which it also matches.
And to be clear, this is a fashion released with two other fashions in the same set,
and the doll is not included with the fashion. A previously
released doll is used to pose this fashion.

"Red, White, and Blue" frilly dress for JEM inspired by the vibrant colors of the American flag.
One of the remaining top looks for Jem has finally been released! A fashion that looked great in the 80's,
and no surprise
it looks fantastic in IT doll form! A little bit of a shame this wasn't the fashion that included a
doll, rather than Mood I'm In Jem. This fashion looks alot better to me, and has more star quality.
American Beauty is one of the dolls that was planned for release in 1988 before the line ended,
but it never made it beyond a preview Hasbro catalog and prototype pictures. It's almost as big of a deal as
Rockin' Romance Jem, which is why it's a surprise IT hasn't chosen to make it earlier.
Those stockings with stars look amazing! Thanks for putting in the extra touch IT. Something
tells me IT once considered this as its own doll. So many pieces that come with this fashion,
and those earrings. Very nice to see a microphone even.
The shoes kinda resemble the ones the She Makes An Impression Raya came with, but it remains to be

Fitted, cocktail dress with gathered draping design on the front, featuring precision laser cut metallic green "flame" trims cascading down the center front and at the bust line.
For completion, here is Jetta's matching outfit for the previously released outfits for the other
Misfits. Dubbed "Award Night" by Jem fans, although that name originally referred to a completely
different fashion in the 80's doll line, for Jem herself.
It's kinda fun that the IT Misfits get a matching set of fashions that really look alike. Kinda
like IT Jem and the Holograms have their matching Glitter and Gold outfits.
This set started out with IT's idea of releasing a new Stormer with an extra outfit in 2016,
and then the same year for completion including the corresponding fashion with the remaining stock of
first edition IT dolls of Pizzazz and Roxy. Since then, some Jem fans have been asking for Jetta's aswell.
Jetta's wasn't part of the original set since she appeared much later in the cartoon than the other
Misfits aswell as these fashion of theirs, and then Jetta's version of the fashion appeared almost at
the end of the cartoon.
Jetta's Award Night dress set matches her hair unlike any of the other Misfits. But it's
black just like Pizzazz'. It looks really cool with the long black gloves. And nice to see IT even
made the earrings!
And to be clear, this is a fashion released with two other fashions in the same set,
and the doll is not included with the fashion. A previously

This fantastic set includes key accessories seen in the episode, such as the oversized remote control bracelet created by Techrat for Minx to fool the audience into thinking that Rapture really has magical powers, the white gloves Rapture puts on to pretend that the spirit of Harry Houdini has taken over her body, and a stylized rendition of the magic escape chamber seen in the episode, perfect to re-create this fun scene from the show!
In the 80's, the Stingers never made it into doll form in the Jem line, and now in the Integrity Toys Jem line
Rapture and Minx are released for the second time (or third counting the 2016 bonus fashion releases)! And Riot as
much as three times. This set of dolls matches
the fashion of the latest Riot, and apparently Rapture and Minx were meant to be released earlier, probably even
within the 35th Anniversary collection. But instead, they became the last dolls released of this entire line, as
far as we know at this point anyway, which apparently meant that IT had more time to create unique stands for them.
This Rapture has a change of head sculpt from the previous one which was created for her. Rapture's first sculpt
was one of those I really thought resembled her cartoon look, but they changed it this time to the same as Pizzazz,
which was also previously used on their Danse doll.
Rapture gets a new haircolor, just like Minx in the same set, and the 2020 Riot. This time Rapture
gets a bit shorter hair than the previous doll.
A new Rapture and Minx had been requested for a while by Jem fans, in addition to all the Riots. Jem fans have
been asking for all kinds of outfits since there are several to chose from in the episode where
Riot's latest outfit appeared, "That Old Houdini Magic". And I think I was the first one who asked for these outfits
in particular. But Jem fans seemed to agree and be happy it was these outfits. A very good choice and such cool
looks to add to the line, which I'm certain will be attractive to other IT doll collectors aswell.
That hat, that collar and the cape! This is one of those cartoon outfits
that really stands out as a Rapture fashion.
This outfit even included wings in one scene in the music video "Believe/Don't Believe" by Jem and The Holograms /
The Stingers. Of course I didn't expect them to be included in this release, but I'd love to have them custom made!
Wow, that cape must be one of the absolute biggest pieces of clothing in this entire line, perhaps only Tomorrow
Is My Wedding Day Kimber's dress is bigger than this.
Integrity Toys made a few changes, they made the collar smaller, the feather on the hat larger, and the inside lining
fabric of the cape golden instead of yellow, and the bottom of the cape looks really ruffled. And I have yet to discover
more details up close.
Surprising choice of accessory to include the escape chamber, seen in the same episode as the Minx and Rapture outfits.
I don't think anyone could have guessed this would be made into doll form!
It's quite the accessory, like a furniture. And when I think of people actually displaying the
dolls using this, it gets even weirder, because you're supposed to hang one of the dolls upside down, and it actually
works.
There are even instructions included for this accessory, and it seems it's printed on a new kind of
thinner paper compared to earlier instructions.
Yet again a new kind of box, on the inside anyway. Firstly the liner inside is covered by a sleeve, and it's quite
difficult to take out of the box since it's packaged so tightly with the escape chamber accessory parts.
And in the back there's a cover over the previously always bare back, which you have to open before untying
the ribbons and stuff.
Released in a set with the Minx doll.

This fantastic set includes key accessories seen in the episode, such as the oversized remote control bracelet created by Techrat for Minx to fool the audience into thinking that Rapture really has magical powers, the white gloves Rapture puts on to pretend that the spirit of Harry Houdini has taken over her body, and a stylized rendition of the magic escape chamber seen in the episode, perfect to re-create this fun scene from the show!
The second ever Minx from Integrity Toys, introduced in the cartoon episode "That Old Houdini Magic".
Although a bonus outfit was released in 2016, so fashion-wise this is the third look
release. What a cool outfit for Minx, with that mesh at the top of the dress and on the sleeves.
What an unexpected change of head sculpt, into the same as Jetta. It makes me think of Adaline King which also uses
this sculpt in the 2018 release, with long blonde hair like Minx, which I'm listing for the IT Jem line as a
none-official lookalike of one of the Limp Lizards. Although they look quite differently next to each other.
Minx gets thicker eyebrows than the previous doll it seems, but it works. And quite big lips even, but I have yet to
compare them up close. Alot of Jem fans seem to prefer Rapture in this set over Minx, but I have to say I really
prefer how Minx turned out with this sculpt.
Minx gets a new haircolor, just like Rapture in the same set, and the 2020 Riot.
Perhaps I could have wished for a slightly larger bowtie, like in the cartoon, because it's such a cool feature that
seemed meant to stand out.
Beautiful jewelries, like the bracelet that plays a part in the episode, since it's infact a gadget by Techrat.
And it looks like a new sculpt of really large hoop earrings, not sure if it appeared in other IT lines before,
but I don't recognize them.
These chromed hands are infact not the first ever golden chromed hands in this line, but the third pair,
since Pizzazz came with two such pairs of hands in other poses for the In Stitches set.
Mine came with the hat loose inside the box, and also the long hair was moving around.
Released in a set with the Rapture doll.

This fantastic journey starts in the most unique place in the world: Venice! Entirely built over water, Venice becomes a symbol of eccentricity and glamour during its world-famous annual Carnival! Lukas Maverick is putting his own modern, gender-fluid twist on carnival by wearing a flamboyant, elaborate costume inspired by the rare imported velvets and other exotic fabrics used over the centuries by Venetian costume designers to create the extravagant, lavish costumes worn by members of the Italian high society and aristocracy when attending the Carnival! Mysterious and charming, foggy and sunny, the pure essence of Carnival and abundance. Lukas navigates the canals with his black mask on and only reveals himself in the middle of the party, flirting and seducing women and men alike with his fluid beauty and his charming dress, paying tribute to many iconic Italian fashion brands!
This doll came to be through a collaboration between Integrity Toys and the Italian design team called
Magia2000, which consists of fashion designer Mario Paglino and graphic art director Gianni Grossi.
This is the first in a series of upcoming dolls created for Integrity Toys, each doll in the series will take
fans on a tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals.
Although this doll has no direct relation to the Jem line. For me, it's exactly exactly whay I wanted!!!
For months I had been asking Integrity Toys for a redhead male doll, since their previous releases have
had slightly more blonde, brown or even punk red. The reason I wanted this in the Jem line, was to cover the
fact that there are over 30 notable male characters in the Jem cartoon with red hair. One of the more notable ones,
often requested by Jem IT doll collectors, is Red Johnny Mac from the cartoon Jem episode "Beauty And The Rock Promoter".
Here finally is a redhead male doll, that even has a similar hairstyle as Red Johnny Mac, and an outfit that somewhat
resembles his from the play in the Jem episode.
As mentioned, this doll was not created by the IT Jem doll designers though. And whether the designers of this doll are
Jem fans in particular or not, is unknown to me at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised since Jem is quite big in Italy.
Other than the red hair and the outfit, what is so Jem about this doll, or what resembles Red Johnny Mac?
He has blue eyes like Red Johnny Mac. And this doll character kinda has the same origin story as Red Johnny Mac, having lived
in the UK according to the character bio, and a previous release
of Maverick was infact called "Beauty And The Beast" (as in the episode "Beauty And The Rock Promoter", featuring Red
Johnny Mac), although that version of him didn't have red hair, and he represented Beauty, while Pizzazz' head
sculpt was used for the Beast.
Another connection to the IT Jem line, as far as I'm concerned anyway, is the Venice theme in itself, which reminds me of
what appears to be one of the IT designers favorite Jem episodes, "In Stitches", which takes
place in Venice. And Maverick's outfit kinda goes in the same style as Rio's in the music video "Time Is Runnin' Out".

It started the best way possible, with cartoon-only looks for a none-lead character, Roxy. If there is one thing,
that IT are good at, except making the worlds most high quality dolls, it's
to surprise us with a great mix of different kinds of releases.
Two Roxy dolls in the same set, separate fashions, and a Jem doll in
one of the fashions left to release from the 80's doll fashions.
