"JEM's ready for a rockin' romance and she has the most outrageous hair ever!".
This is the only one of the unreleased dolls that has actually shown up complete in it's box.
The first time this doll is known to have been
available for sale on the internet, was in January 16
of 1999, when one was put up for auction at eBay, with
the title "Jem Rockin Romance MIB". The location of
the seller, was Rhode Island, and this doll was made
in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It has very long crimped
blonde hair. After that, several has shown up and sold
pretty expensive. It doesn't seem to include a cassette.
Some of the accessories that this doll was to come with, was later released with Maxie and Sindy dolls,
or very similar looking ones in the same colors. One example is the 1989 Three Wishes Sindy which shared
the earrings and perhaps even the necklace. 1988 Perfect Prom Maxie doll came with probably the same shape
and color white pearl necklace.

- Hollywood Jem
Jem is nominated for an academy award for her role in Starbright, and decides to take
up her acting career. This is the story in the two-parter cartoon episode by the same
name, which was written to introduce this new glamorous Jem doll. This may very well have
been planned as one of the more expensive dolls, judging by all the energy put into it,
with a corresponding cartoon two-parter episode, and it's own theme song. Alot of
speculations have revolved this doll, as to what outfit it was really meant to be released
in. See the 2012 Hollywood Jem, for example of another one of the outfits.

- Male doll
A male head with long purple hair has appeared on
dolls that consist of Hasbro's Jem doll leftover parts,
called Super Stars, by Star Merchandising, and
showed up in Sears outlets. This may have been planned
to be a new edition of Rio, the new character Riot, or
even Craig since it has blue eyebrows. It could also
have been an unreleased character from Hasbro's other
doll line Maxie's World.

discontinued. Some were revealed in the Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair 1988 catalog,
while others have just been revealed by people who worked on the show or shown up in pictures of
