1987 was the second year of the Jem doll line, and more than the double amount of dolls were released,
as second editions and 6 new characters, three of which had metallic strands in their hair.
Jem got a new smiling face mold. Both bands got a new member. The Holograms got new fashions that more or less
resembled the first editions in shape, and they got headbands and earrings. The Pizzazz, Roxy, and
Stormer dolls were released again, mainly the same as in 1986. Many friends that had previously been seen
in the cartoon, were introduced as dolls.
This year the shape of the dollboxes changed, and the instruments of
the Misfits and the Holograms were translucent with glitter
inside, a new shape of bracelets was introduced, the pumps got a slightly different design,
and boots were introduced.
The stands became more translucent and more elastic so they were easier to put togheter and
pull apart. On the cassette tapes, the instrumental
versions were now actual instrumental versions, without an extra instrument playing in place of
the singing.
As for the Misfits, the only accessories pictured on this page are those items that differ
noticably from the first edition.
Also in 1987, Hasbro turned three out of twelve younger characters called the Starlight girls, into
11 inch dolls. Their shorter bodysculpt was alot less poseable and different to the adult sized body.
All three dolls were based on the cartoon characters created by the main writer of the cartoon, Christy Marx.
And at the same time, these
characters got a bigger role in the cartoon, starting with the episode "The Music Awards Part 1", and they
even sang in the two-parter episode "The Jem Jam", and later had their own episode "Treasure Hunt".
Unfortunately it was the last year
before the Jem doll line was cancelled, and this was probably an attempt by
Hasbro to release dolls that looked more like natural with regular hairstyles and
outfits, so that girls could identify with them, rather than outrageous rockstars with punk hair colors.
Perhaps for the same reason, Hasbro didn't add any personal characteristics to the
boxes of these three dolls, like a background story or specific accessories.
These were also the only dolls that didn't include a single accessory (like a mike, instrument, boombox, camera)
other than their clothing pieces, hairpick (with a more apparent embossed logo) and stand.
Neither a cassette tape was included, which meant a lower price.
On the other hand, although the fashions this year no longer had artwork on the boxes, these three dolls
got artwork atleast on the back of the box. The artwork on the back of the boxes, for some reason, features
a picture of Starlight House, instead of Starlight Mansion.

"It's Awards' Night and JEM have gone gold! She has glittering gold strands in her hair and
glamorous, multipiece fashion outfit for her nights out with Rio!".
Jem gets a golden make-over, and Hasbro made sure the theme was consistant all the way from her hair,
down to her glittery stand.
Another big update with this doll was the extra poseability of her body, with extra joints
that allowed her elbows and knees to be bent also sideways. You can really tell how much effort Hasbro
put into this doll, and how they offered a big challenge to Barbie.
As usual Jem has pink and blonde hair, to change into Jerrica
but now even with golden strands. Also the makeup and just about
every piece of the outfit and all accessories followed the glittery golden theme. Infact the bodysuit is
such a beautiful and detailed piece. She came with an extra outfit for Jerrica, and even a "gold-record"
which was a fun touch.
The earrings were now star shaped, which are actually extra pieces of plastic placed over
the regular bulbs, and like the first edition, they were
battery operated and blink when you turn on a switch on her back. 3 Jemstar Points. Notice
how the chair from the playset Rock Backstager is featured in the box artwork.
A variation to the eyebrows, are fuzzy dark or clear bright.

Cartoon:
Introduced in the episode "Glitter And Gold", an entire episode made to
introduced this new look, written by Christy Marx.
The cartoon version doesn't have golden strands in her hair. The doll has the blonde hair visible even when she is Jem.
Jem has a special golden eye makeup (but sometimes the purple instead) only for this
outfit, even if it doesn't directly resemble the doll, it's either bright yellow or darker
yellow depending on the episode.
The top/bodysuit has stripes in the cartoon and more like a flower pattern on the
doll. The golden glasses, nor hairbow are ever seen in the cartoon, and the bracelets
look very different. On another note, none of the Holograms, who all have their version of this
outfit in the cartoon, were released with that outfit for the doll line.

"JEM thinks Rio's the coolest in his Glitter 'N Gold tux and sunglasses! And he has an
extra surprise for his favorite star, a long stem rose!".
Rio has a new golden style that corresponds with Jem, aswell as a rose for Jem. But isn't he Jerrica's boyfriend?
The last male doll released in the line, and the doll itself only differed from the first edition by having
slightly darker and often shorter purple hair.
Although the hair is quite purple if you see it in reality, I wonder why they made such a big change in haircolor
to this doll only.
Perhaps to differentiate him from the colorful female dolls, since he wasn't a rockstar after all.
Although this doll was part of the Glitter 'n Gold campaign, and had some nice golden accessories, it still
appeared as something of a budget doll, especially with the dickie which wasn't an entire piece of clothing.
Today it sells for alot less than all other dolls of the line, you can probably find it as low as 15$.
But regardless of that, this is one of my favorite dolls and looks, with songs on the cassette which I played
so much back then that I ruined the tape.
For some reason alot of these dolls get a greasy
face after all these years, even if they have remained in their boxes.
Some dolls have a noticably more pale skintone, like the Belgian release did.

"JEM's newest fashion hairstyle - it's extra long, silky and all curls!".
Jem gets extra long hair to style. This was something of a budget doll, it didn't come with a
cassette and it was the first and only
doll of the character Jem that didn't have blinking earrings, an extra outfit for Jerrica,
nor a stand, yet it did have blonde and pink hair. I'm surprised it even came with a microphone.
It looks like Hasbro's idea worked and
this sold very well, according to how often you can find them loose, but with bad condition hair
unfortunately. For some reason this outfit appeared in the cartoon with eye makeup that resembled
Flash 'n Sizzle Jem/Jerrica whose fashion was not featured in the cartoon. Maybe I'm biased for
seeing it in the cartoon, but I prefer this alot to the Flash 'n Sizzle Jem/Jerrica outfit,
this looks like a nice new modern style for Jem at the time,
and it was nice to have atleast one Jem doll with very long hair which was a smart move to
weigh up the lack of accessories. It added something to advertise as an update.

Introduced in the episode "Glitter And Gold".
The doll has the blonde hair visible even when she is Jem. In the cartoon Jem does get a new hairstyle with
this outfit, a curlier one, but it's not as long as on the doll.
This doll's makeup never appeared in the cartoon. This outfit was worn with dark purple
eyemakeup in the cartoon, rather than pink and lightblue. Not even the eyebrow color nor lips
match.
The silver dots on the dress are not present in
the cartoon version. The earrings are the regular star earrings in the cartoon (of course).

"JEM/Jerrica sizzles on stage and off with a totally new look that's truly outrageous!".
Now Jem was back to business again with flashing earrings, an extra outfit for
Jerrica, and
a cassette tape. Like all Jem dolls she has pink and blonde hair. Infact she appears to have more
pink hair than ever. Even so this doll wasn't a big step back to quality compared to the glamorous
Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica doll.
Apparently this doll was originally supposed to come with sandals, and even the back of the doll
box depicts a doll with apparently painted on pumps over sandals.
Perhaps this is the doll to go with the second year Holograms, considering this was not featured in
the cartoon and the Holograms had other corresponding fashions for Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica.
This doll is not a favorite of mine to appear in the new commemorative line or anywhere else, I'd
prefer the fashion Command Performance or the purple version from the cartoon.

"They're the musical force behind JEM and the only people who know her true identity!
Kimber, Aja and Shana are the original Holograms with the hottest sound around!".
Kimber gets an alternate and more colorful version of her original outfit and instrument,
aswell as a headband and earrings. In my opinion this is the only one of the three
second edition Holograms dolls that was upgraded, perhaps not in a better look, but
with a higher quality look in the choice of fabrics and accessories. I like her new
jacket with those lapels, and finally she got a glittery instrument compared to having the
only instrument in the first year that didn't have a glittery nor holographic sticker.
Still they didn't change the "M" at the top which refers to Jem's original name.
Another nice fix was that all second year Kimber's seem to have been made in the same
style, as opposed to the first year version where some of them had another style of the
hair with bangs that would point right up, and darker pink makeup that made her look a little meaner.
She shares the same makeup as the first release.
She has the same facemold as the first edition, which she shares with Roxy, and Video.
Unlike the second edition Misfits, she even got new songs on
the cassette. The best way to tell her apart from the first edition is
by the earring holes.

"They're the musical force behind JEM and the only people who know her true identity!
Kimber, Aja and Shana are the original Holograms with the hottest sound around!".
Aja gets an alternate and more colorful version of her original outfit and instrument,
aswell has a headband and earrings. She's got the same makeup as the first year doll, but
with slightly more red lips rather than orange.
This felt like the simplest re-design with the same
shape of shirt in a very similar color, a much simpler belt that is just a piece of fabric cut,
the skirt has no slit, and a simple stretchy one-colored fabric for the tights. But I
kinda like it anyway, especially the yellow additions which compliments her haircolor,
and the entire look makes me think
of easter eggs. And she gets her own star earrings, but green ones, that don't flash (oh never mind).
And the hair actually looks better when tied in a headband like that, because it
disguises the fact that her her is so flat.
Unlike the second edition Misfits, she got new songs on

"They're the musical force behind JEM and the only people who know her true identity!
Kimber, Aja and Shana are the original Holograms with the hottest sound around!".
Shana gets an alternate and more colorful version of her original outfit and instrument,
aswell has a headband and earrings. Her previous outfit may have been alot more shiny
with an entire silver jacket and shiny fabric for her dress, but many Jem collectors prefer
this, because it's one of the rarest of all Jem dolls, but also because it accidentally
resembles a look Shana had in the cartoon. And personally I like that they actually gave
her a completely new outfit even in shape, except they kinda kept the jacket shape.
Possibly the eyebrows can be differentiated aswell
by being slightly more soft. Unlike the second edition Misfits, she even got new songs on
the cassette. Now she has a jumpsuit instead of a minidress.
She has the same facemold as the first edition, which she shares with Stormer and Synergy.

Cartoon:
Oppositely to the other second year Holograms outfits, an outfit that does
resemble this one very much appears in the cartoon. The only differences are that the
jacket is green instead of blue and has purple kapels and pockets, the top is yellow instead of green,
and she has no earrings or hairbow.
By now, the new member, Raya, had joined the Holograms on drums, so the fact that Shana comes
with a guitar actually corresponds with the cartoon.

"Meet the rest of JEM's outrageous band! Raya on drums is the Holograms' newest and
hottest on stage performer!".
A new member has joined the Holograms, the shy but talented drummer with Mexican heritage, Raya. This doll
actually comes with drums, unlike Shana who played drums before Raya took over.
She has slightly curly hair in a darker pink than Jem and with no blonde hair, aswell as a
slightly darker skintone.
Very nice to have another skintone added to the line.
I like how they choose a different shade of pink rather than just going with a more expected and completely
unused color in the line like orange or green. Perhaps her clothing is a bit overthought and has alot going
on at once, but looking back on it it looks very 80's, and that's a good thing. And the flower pattern can be
explained with the fact that in that cartoon, Raya's father owns a nursery for domestic and exotic plants,
where Raya and her brothers have helped working.
She shares facemold with Pizzazz.

Interpretations:
Cartoon:
Introduced in the episode "The Talent Search Part 1".
Outfit has a very matching color, but she gets more of an updo and bangs in the cartoon rather than combed back hair with curls.
The makeup has no resemblance other than the eyecolor, and the shape of eyes look kinda matching aswell. In the cartoon she has
only pink eyeshadow and darker pink lipsticks.
Unlike the other second year Holograms, this outfit is featured in the cartoon. Only pink flowers on the shirt and
tights in the cartoon. And everything that is turquoise on the doll, is lightblue in the cartoon. Her vest is
not shiny or glittery in the cartoon. The belt is pointing in the other direction and has no pink belt buckle in
the cartoon.
Drums match the shape which is close enough, but otherwise the coloring is quite different and she has more
of a drumset in the cartoon.

"Synergy's super holographic computer has the power to
transform Jerrica into the truly outrageous JEM!".
Jerrica's holographic computer in human shape. She has an all violet body, slightly curly purple
hair with metallic purple strands. Was introduced at the same time as Clash, and appeared in the
same doll commercial.
What an amazing doll and especially for the 80's. I bet many toycompanies were surprised by this, and
it looks like this inspired Mattel's Spectra line. I bet I would have wanted this if I knew it
existed back then. How clever of Hasbro to make this character into a
doll, especially if they didn't plan to originally, considering her design differs alot from the cartoon.
There's no doubt who she is supposed to depict from the cartoon though, although Hasbro's
doll version is a bit more human looking and has a different fashion.
Not sure what the handheld
computer was meant for, but apparently Hasbro wanted to include something computer-like, or to just
not leave the doll without an accessory. It does
look like a bit like an instrument though. Perhaps a handheld version of Synergy is something inbetween
the large computer and the earrings, which fits perfectly in with today's Ipads.
I say bring it into the new interpretation stories of Jem!
She shares facemold with Shana and Stormer. A common problem is that the doll bodies
get miscolored by time, when the rubbery purple legs and arms appear uneven in color. 2 Jemstar Points.

Outfit is similar shape and colors, but looks very different.
A handheld computer doesn't appear in the cartoon, since Jerrica's got

participates in some of the Holograms' performances and music videos.
She is the only doll of the line that has more colors than one in her hair, atleast in a
noticable way as they are clearly separated. Her rainbow-colored hair consists of pink, turquoise,
yellow and orange hair. Even her eyemakeup is quite colorful.
She shares facemold with Clash and Jetta. Her cassette tape
fittingly consists of songs from episodes she appeared in, one of which is about her.
She was going to be
re-released in 1988. A 1986-87 "My Little Pony" fashion in the "Play 'n Wear" line called "Get

"Video produces their award-winning rock videos!".
A good friend of Jem and the Holograms who is
called "Video" because of her passion for her job as a video director, in which she makes
documentaries aswell as music videos for Jem and the Holograms. She has slightly curly hair
which isn't blonde, but actually yellow.
Perhaps one of the more common looking dolls of the line, with her yellow hair that can be confused
for blonde, but her outfit looks
quite sparkling and she brings the chance for this doll line to have a character who films the
music videos for the musicians with her video camera. And she fits perfectly with the theme of
the Video Madness playsets taht were released this same year.
She shares facemold with Kimber and Roxy. Like Kimber and Stormer, she has a mouche on her cheek.
Notice how the jacket has a "V" as in Video. Her stock number is higher than
Danse's although she appeared in the cartoon many episodes before Danse. 3 Jemstar Points.

The V on the jacket lapel, can either be sewn on or just put on as a sticker.

"The mischievous Misfits: Pizzazz, Stormer, and Roxy have been joined by their wildest cohort,
Clash - she'll do anything to make the Misfits #1... even jam JEM's holographic signals with
her distortion modulator!".
She is the cousin of Video, and the Misfits' biggest fan, and although she wishes to join the band, she has no
musical talent. Fits her perfectly then to come with a distortion modulator to ruin for those who
can play sing and play instruments, which is even mentioned in the commercials for the doll. The same commercial
in which the other
female purple haired doll, Synergy, is introduced as her opponent. What her headset is for is unknown though.
This doll came with purple hair, but if you look close it consists of pink and purple.

"The mischievous Misfits: Pizzazz, Stormer, and Roxy have been joined by their wildest
cohorts, Clash and Jetta...They'll do anything to make the Misfits #1! Jetta loves to
zap the color out of JEM's music videos! They all spell trouble for JEM and the Holograms!".
As a british saxophone player who came along at the same time as Raya, to upstage the Holograms and add a
new sound to the Misfits.
The doll has black hair with metallic silver strands, and something that looks like a flash
as makeup. With her black and white style she differs from the rest of the dolls, but for some
reason Hasbro gave her a pink hairpick. It was a nice touch of Hasbro to introduce a new instrument
like a saxophone, but in comparison to the glittery guitars it doesn't look so good.
The plans for this doll seem to have been made a little
later than Raya, since Jetta is not featured on the back of any of the second edition Misfits boxes.
Even though the doll box says 1986, the item number reveals
that this doll was made after the Starlight Girls in 1987, and thereby the very last doll to be released.
Jetta shares facemold with Danse and Clash.

"Ashley, Banee and Krissie are Jerrica's friends from the Starlight House and loyal fans of JEM!".
She was based on the cartoon character created by Christy Marx. She was the last Starlight girl to
arrive at Starlight House, and starts off as an outsider, who then finds her place. But she was the first
Starlight girl to have a featured role in an episode, in the very first episode, and even sang her own song
"I Can See Me" in the episode "The Jem Jam Part 1".
This doesn't scream Jem doll to me, nor does it very much resemble the character it's mean to depict.
But it does look like a typical fashion doll, and a quite inoffensive one in her floral outfit. Had the
line continued, rather than Maxie taking over, this could had been the main doll of many releases.
She shares the same bodysculpt as the other Starlight girl dolls. She has long blonde and slightly curly
hair. Being the most common haircolor of dolls in general, this is actually the only doll in the Jem doll line,
other than the Jem dolls, that has blonde hair.

The fashion is the only one of the three Starlight Girls dolls that was featured
in the cartoon and first appeared in the episode "Glitter And Gold". But in the cartoon she has an inner

"Ashley, Banee and Krissie are Jerrica's friends from the Starlight House and loyal fans
of JEM!".
She is a sensible and responsible girl, who doesn't let anyone push her around.
She was the only Starlight girl that did not appear in the very first episode, but she eventually appeared
in as much as 29 episodes, only beaten by Ashley and Ba Nee. She even sang her own song "You May Be A Star"
in the episode "The Jem Jam Part 2".
She felt like a good choice to release as a doll, adding another look to the line. She has a Miami Vice
feeling to her with that print on the shirt, and a nice touch that they choose a pink animal for it.
Her pajamas-looking outfit is very orange though, I guess it's a safe bet it's her favorite color,
although she rarely wore it in the cartoon. Poor thing she has alot less pieces of clothing than the other
two Starlight girl dolls, like no socks for example.
Shares the same bodysculpt as the other Starlight girl dolls. She has very
large and curly dark brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly darker skintone than Shana.

"Ashley, Banee and Krissie are Jerrica's friends from the Starlight House and loyal fans

She is a vietnamese girl who dreams of one day finding her real father.
She was the second Starlight girl to get a bigger role in the cartoon, starting with the Starbright trilogy,
and even sang her own song "A Father Should Be" in the episodes "The Jem Jam Part 1" and "A Father Should Be...".
Hasbro decided to write togheter the name as one word, rather than "Ba Nee".
Although the cartoon character is as much as four years younger than Ashley, they share the same body size.
She has long black hair packaged in a ponytail in a rubberband. Infact she is the first black-haired doll of

Long black hair, but she doesn't actually have bangs in the cartoon, atleast not very visible.
Her face looks surprisingly alike, but the eyes could have been a bit smaller/thinner to show her heritage even
more. Correct brown eyecolor though, which is a nice detail since three episode were about her eyesight.
This outfit slightly resembles Ba Nee's original outfit in the cartoon with the violet colors, but it's not
the same pieces of clothing. And unlike Ashley's doll outfit, Ba Nee's never appears in the cartoon.
