The line of dolls by Integrity Toys is first and foremost about dolls, and all kinds of doll fashions and accessories, even big accessories at times, but usually not so much about bigger playsets. But for the Jem line, anything seems possible. So far, as much as three sets have been released which I choose to count as playsets. First a cardboard stage, then sets of accessories inlcuding instruments and clothing and more, and lastly a studio. I'd also like to add there have been several doll releases with boxes that resemble dressing rooms and includes a stool, aswell others where the packaging resembles the eiffel tower or the shop doors to the House of Glamour, some where the packaging is made like a carry-case, and one doll release included a new backdrop made to fit the 80's Star Stage. I choose to list those among dolls, but they deserve a mention here aswell.
On June 13, 2013 Integrity Toys announced their first Wclub exclusive stage cardboard backdrop/diorama,
to ship along with the new doll Broadway Magic Jem. Estimated shipping date was fall 2013, and price
$119.
As an Integrity Toys W Club member special, comes The Stage Essentials Accessory Sets.
One for The Holograms and one for The Misfits. Each set comes with color variations of some
previously released instruments, in colors seen in the animated series, like Aja's original cartoon guitar, Kimber's
standing keyboard from the cartoon, Stormer gets her cartoon keytar and Roxy gets a different
color of her guitar.
Also included in both sets is a band-themed jacket, which pays homage to
the special offer MTV jacket from the original line, a guitar case, and three glittery guitar
straps. To ship in March 2014.

What a wonderful idea to give us something in the lines of what I view as the main playset of the 80's, the
Star Stage. Although this is a completely new design.
This is a stage cardboard backdrop/diorama, that shipped along with the Broadway Magic Jem doll, and was included inside
the same box. A very impressive looking stage, with lots of colors and even chromed parts, although it's made
out of cardboard, and you have to assemble it yourself. You can actually use your doll stands underneath
the floor and put the poles through the
floor.

More instruments for the Holograms, a jacket, accessories and a case. Perfect for those that would like the extras without
buying an entire new doll. The instruments come in the same shape as previously released instruments in this
line, but Integrity took notice of how the instruments were different and changed on the show, and made this
set as an alternative. Very appreciated to have Kimber's standing keyboard, which is the same shape as Minx'.
They also looked up Aja's early guitar, which is the same shape as Pizzazz. There's even three beautiful
glittery straps to choose from, in the colors red, silver and blue. There's a jacket in the style of the
80's MTV-jacket, but white with the Jem logo on back. And several printed extra, like music notes, a photo
of Emmett Benton, and a very clever speaker that you fold yourself and add plastic buttons to. But the heart of this
set must be the amazing instrument case, so detailed you can't believe it, with "Starlight Music" printed on it.
Edition limited to 500 accessory packs.

Instruments also for The Misfits, also with a jacket, accessories and a case.
These instruments come in the same shape as previously released instruments in this
line. Finally we get Stormer's yellow cartoon keytar, which is the same shape as Kimber's. The lavender
guitar appears to be Roxy's cartoon guitar, in the same shape as her other guitar.
The three glittery straps in this set come in the colors golden, black and limegreen. There's a jacket in the
style of the 80's MTV-jacket, but with The Misfits logo on back. And the printed extras include music notes,
mastertape and cover, letters, and a speaker that you fold yourself and add plastic buttons to.
The instrument case in this set is just as nice as in the Jem set, in Misfits colors and Misfits Music
logo printed in golden letters. Edition limited to 500 accessory packs.

The Lin-Z TV-studio that can be turned into a the KJEM radiostation. With some beautifully designed acrylic pieces, and
those backdrop designs!
KJEM was a playset in the 80's aswell, in the shape of a guitar. This KJEM playset looks
different. And this is the first time Lin-Z studio is released as a playset.
Nice to see a playset based on a secondary character.
Lindsey was never planned as a doll in the 80's, and here she even gets her own TV-show playset.
So many beautiful pieces in this set, which were cleverly design, and contain so many references to the
Jem world and the IT line.
But the most amazing pieces of this set must be the guitars! I always love the beautiful and
detailed guitars of the IT line. And these are released for completion for the Starstruck
Jem doll, and Shana's cartoon guitar for when Raya took over on drums. I so much appreciate the
effort they put into create new sculpts of guitar for this release.
Not sure what some of the record cover titles refer to, but they seem invented by IT.
The dolls shown in promotional pictures are previous releases, not included in this set.
