The second year really kicked off the line. This was the year we would get the Integrity Toys version of the
bands in their original form, including the very much anticipated Stingers dolls. Even if we still knew
nothing in advance, as one wave was announced at the time.
The Stingers also proved to be a popular with the non-Jem doll collectors, everyone who isn't
into the wild haircolors, especially the beautiful sculpt of Riot with his long blonde hair.
Also, this year offered some surprises in form of several special Jem dolls,
aswell as another Rio and Jerrica.
The edition sizes grew. With all the bandmembers, we saw instruments included
for the first time, and it was a joy to see these miniature absolute masterpieces! Also a new look of stands were
included with the Glitter 'n Gold Jem and Rio dolls.
Already on July 19th in 2013, it was time for the next announcement, the Stingers have hit town!
Estimated to ship in september. This was the first time the Stingers actually made it into a
Jem doll line, in the outfits they were planned to wear in the 1988 release that never were.
For more about Integrity Toys, keep an eye out on the following links:
To quote Aja from the cartoon "Kimber, you've never looked so good!".
They did a great job on the hairstyle. The red haircolor leans more towards orange now though, than pink
like it did on the 80's doll though.
Her head sculpt fits her perfectly.
In the cartoon, she is seen with either blue or black eyebrows, but I definitely think those thick black eyebrows were the
best choice for this doll, it looks alot like she did in the the original mini series. The
make-up is heavier in the cartoon though.
Kimber and this fashion was first introduced in the episode "The Beginning".
Gone are all the lamé fabrics from the 80's.
The jacket and blouse is a step towards the cartoon look, and they added a little pocket on
the left side for the doll. And the blouse is now it's own actual piece, and not just ruffles sewn into the jacket.
The pants are not very recognizable in the new fabric pattern. Socks have a new pattern aswell.
Not sure what the doll's
earrings are based on, but they seem to be sculpt created for earlier dolls in other IT lines.
In the cartoon, we're used to seeing Kimber with her standing keyboard, although she came with a keytar
in the 80's doll line. This keytar has a new shape, with no "M" at the top, which was a leftover in the original line from
when Jem was originally called "M".

Aja in this outfit was introduced in the cartoon episode "The Beginning".
This new Aja gets longer hair than in the cartoon and on the 80's doll, with all the volume the 80's doll was missing,
while the layers are less distinct.
Her face looks very much like in the cartoon, a very nice touch and important detail is the eyes, since they took
notice of her origin. But the orange color makeup more resembles the 80's doll.
The lavender shirt
now appears to be pink, more like the 80's doll box artwork. And the multicolored tights are so beautiful and
more colorful than ever, if you see them in reality. So cool! The snakeskin pattern on the skirt looks familiar.
The doll's earrings is IT's own design.
Guitar resembles one of the guitars Aja plays in the cartoon, where it is pink though. But obviously it
was made to resemble the 80's doll's guitar, although there's no 80's glitter on this one.

Shana in this outfit was introduced in the cartoon episode "The Beginning".
We've seen Shana's hair in all kinds of shapes, but Integrity Toys' version looks absolutely great!
Her hair resembles her cartoon look very well, the haircolor is perfect, and the very small curls look great.
No hairpiece, like the 80's doll had.
The make-up is a perfect combination of the doll and cartoon look. The cheek makeup is very recognizable from the
cartoon.
The jacket is a little less shiny than in the 80's line, but more classy, very beautiful piece. The dress fabric
looks great too, brighter than in the cartoon, but comes closer in color than the 80's doll did.
Tights, that's something new for Shana. The shoes were white in the cartoon.
And although there was no other drummer around (yet when Shana was released for the IT line), she still comes
with her guitar, in a recognizable shape from the 80's line but in a brighter color. Maybe a hint that Raya was
about to be released too.

Introduced in the episode "The Beginning".
This doll is the perfect example of what Integrity Toys does with their Jem line, combining the best features from
the 80's dolls, the original cartoon look, the updated cartoon look, and adding some new details.
Nice to see they went all in on the wild makeup, that's Pizzazz!
Which is based on the cartoon, but with some more pink around the eyes and some white from the 80's doll makeup.
Lips are no longer orange, but pink like in the cartoon, and she doesn't look quite as happy as the smiling 80's doll did.
The hair was changed compared to the 80's doll, and has less neon glow, with a slightly milkier/greener shade.
The was done to look more like the cartoon than the 80's doll according to Integrity Toys.
The dress resembles the second version of the cartoon outfit, but is cut slightly differently, and consists of a
top layer white fabric with black
prints of flock, and a rubber-like black layer beneath. The belt is a double layer, very
carefully sewn togheter. Surprisingly they choose a glittery fabric for
the dark pink part of the top, which is a nice touch, especially since they went the other way
with making Kimber's outfit less shiny.
The sock is worn on the right leg like the 80's doll, instead of the left like in the cartoon.
Pizzazz gets her legband around her leg like she had
originally in the cartoon mini-series, a nice detail that toughens up her look.
Like the other Misfits, Pizzazz has two bracelets, which are going more for black than Roxy's
and Stormer's silver.
The guitar resembles the cartoon version in shape, but with the 80's doll's holographic sticker.
And something the 80's releases never got although she is the lead singer of her group,
is a microphone, which Integrity Toys fixed.
And comes with a miniature Cool Trash magazine, with a cover from the cartoon. But the cartoon
cover says "Worst dressed girl" rather than "Worst dressed list".
Three more Pizzazz dolls have later been released,
called In Stitches, Designing Woman, and I Am A Giant, and the latter two have a more neon yellow haircolor.

Roxy and this outfit was introduced in the episode "The Beginning".
While in the 80's, the cartoon look was changed after a few episodes to look more like the 80's
doll, Integrity Toys did the opposite, they based this doll on the original cartoon look.
And the outcome is a doll that looks most different from its corresponding 80's doll.
As it turns out this doll was the least popular of the Misfits dolls among collectors, which is a huge
surprise to me since it was easily the best made doll of the band.
Hair is almost as white as in the cartoon and on the 80's doll, but a hint of blonde.
The makeup is more based on the cartoon in shape, but with some influences from the 80's doll with the lack of an
eyebrow on the left eye, and several of colors also around the right eye where she had no makeup in the cartoon.
And IT added some new colors around the eyes, and darker orange lipstick.
The black shirt from the original cartoon mini-series looks much wilder than the 80's doll purple,
and the fabric sparkles beautifully. Also the belt is from the original cartoon look and doesn't have
the chrome stickers, but actual metallic studs.
The very different looking pants are inspired by the 80's doll, and impressively detailed with
mini-sequins which can really only be fully appreciated up close. Looks absolutely great!
Even the high heel sandals are from her original cartoon look.
The necklace, which does look nice, consisted of pearls in the cartoon instead of chains.
In the cartoon, she had no bracelets with her black shirt outfit, but she did when the shirt
turned purple.
Nice color of the guitar, right inbetween the bright pink cartoon guitar and the 80's doll purple guitar.

Stormer and this outfit first appeared in the episode "The Beginning".
The hair is noticably darker than the cartoon and 80's doll, and with a slight touch of turquoise.
They didn't make the hair too curly like the 80's doll, but more as in the cartoon, which makes her hairstyle match the other
Misfits a bit better.
She has three shades of eye makeup, red, orange and yellow, apparently based on the 80's doll, along with
the shapes on the cheeks from the cartoon, and the beauty spot. Her lips are red like in the cartoon,
rather than orange which the 80's doll had.
Her outfit is perfect. The flower is now made in fabric rather than plastic, and more orange than red.
And located on the left side of the head like the 80's doll, rather than the right side as in the cartoon.
Like Pizzazz, Stormer gets that glittery fabric for her top, with a realistic fur-like fabric on top, and
the same black claw-shaped sequins as the 80's doll, and a metal stud on the front middle of the hem instead of a sticker.
The leather-like fabric of her skirt looks like a nice update. The fishnet tights resemble the 80's doll, but with a
more transparent fishnet fabric.
The bracelets are silver like Roxy's, and she even comes with an armcuff and an anklet like her early cartoon look
from the mini-series.
They gave her the guitar instead of her keytar, which apparently was a special Hasbro request, which thereby
matches what the 80's doll came with rather than the keytar she played in the cartoon.
They even gave her a sheet of music notes referring to the fact that she is the song writer of the band.
Stormer was later released in two more looks. For the most recent one she got a different head sculpt, the same as
Rapture, which was a big improvement in my opinion since it looks alot more like her in the cartoon.

This look was introduced in the cartoon episode "Glitter and Gold".
This San Diego Comic-Con exclusive might be the queen of all dolls in the Integrity Jem line,
like the 80's version was. This doll doesn't come with golden strands in the hair like the 80's doll did though. Probably
since golden strands never really turns out great.
But for the first and only time in the Integrity Toys line, she has both pink and blonde hair, based on the 80's doll,
even if the blonde is very sparse in front.
They really did a great job on the makeup and eyes. The eye makeup is brighter than in the cartoon, where it was a
bit too dark to resemble gold. And they even added golden glitter on the eye shadow.
Amazing how much the fabric for the bodysuit and collar looks like the
80's fabric, but improved! The fur fabric is more realistic than the 80's doll. Even the tights seem to sparkle,
and those golden shoes! The golden skirt looks a bit longer than in the cartoon.
The Jerrica doll seen in one of the promo pictures, is not included, just the fashion.
The new bracelets resemble the cartoon bracelets more than the 80's doll version.
Wow the golden award looks perfect!
There's a new little piece to place in the bottom of the microphone, which makes it longer and wireless.
A big improvement in my opinion, rather than connecting a cord to it.
Comes with a cardboard hanger for the Jerrica outfit,
in the same design as with the 80's playset the Rock Backstager.
In 2015, another IT Jem doll, Starstruck, was released also with pink/blonde hair and glittery eyemakeup.

This Rio look was introduced in the episode "Glitter and Gold".
A second Rio, and the first in the IT line that also was released in the 80's line.
His hair looks fuller and has a
different hairstyle, and is shorter in the back.
Rio's head sculpt was slightly adjusted so that his head isn't as
pointed upwards, and is now more poseable. He also had something of a makeover in the face painting department,
first of all he has side-glancing eyes, but also slightly different eyebrows, and more dark around the eyes.
The new face is getting closer to how I picture Rio from the cartoon.
Outfit is so perfectly designed. Finally he gets an entire shirt underneath,
and not just a dickie front as in the 80's doll line.
He's not wearing sneakers anymore though, but elegant slip-ons.
Integrity Toys surely cover all the details, as he comes with every
accessory you could imagine, plus a champagne bottle and two glasses (this is an adult line of collectibles after
all). And Ddid he wear a gold watch in the cartoon?
Luckily this doll will be available for anyone to purchase, which is a good choice, since we
need more male dolls in the line and we already got several Jems.
In 2020 IT returned with new Jem dolls after having ended the line, and this particular look for Rio was
surprisingly re-done from scratch and released again.

Infact everything about this release is great, and this doll has become one of the most popular releases of Jem herself
among the Jem fans, especially the makeup.
Jem has a new hairstyle, not actually associated with this fashion
in the cartoon, and for the first time with "side-glancing" eyes.
The hairstyle more resembles how Jem wears her hair with the cartoon outfit J-10, you know when she wears that
blue coat and her hair combed to one side, often seen in music videos.
The facepaint of this doll looks more like the cartoon Jem than ever, nicer looking eyerbrows that resemble the cartoon Jem.
The outer carton box is larger
than usual because it also holds the stage. The inside box says "Jem" and not "Broadway Magic Jem", but is not
a re-used box-design from the first wave, since Jem's box then said "Classic Jem". A few of these dolls came
marked with the name "Raya Alonso", a misprint hinting that a Raya doll and thereby probably a Jetta doll was
around the corner.
Although we don't see any of this in the cartoon (while some of it is mentioned), the showbill, Broadway tickets,
Statue of liberty ticket is a nice touch.
Also Also the showbill was perhaps another hint about upcoming dolls, featuring the
Limp Lizards, which never made it into the line officially, but some recognizable dolls were released by IT in 2018.

Integrity Toys released a second character in doll form, and the third male doll in total, something Hasbro never
managed to do in the 80's. Although Riot was planned in 1988 before the doll line ended.
He did make it into the cartoon, introduced in the episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part One".
I was curious to see what they would do with his long blonde curly
hair. Luckily they didn't make it as curly as the 80's doll was meant to have, rather like Riot looked in the cartoon,
and they choose a perfect bright blonde color.
This is a new head sculpt, but the same body sculpt as the two Rio dolls. A very popular scupt among none-Jem IT
collectors aswell.
They made a charming face for this charming character. Perhaps the eyebrows could have been black,
the eyes a little more obivously green, and the skincolor a little more tan. But that's
just being picky, and it's already close to perfection.
The back of his head says "© 2012 IT" and the back of his body "© 2006 JWU BY IT".
Everything looks great with the outfit. Beautiful embroidery on the jacket, and the sequins on the lapels are
so luxury, and even the inside is lined with a beautiful golden fabric.
The shiny fabric for the pants looks fantastic, and even on the unreleased 80's doll they were supposed to be glittery.
And he's even got that earring for his right ear.
He's the only male doll of the entire line that came with a microphone.
His guitar resembles what he played in flashbacks in the episode "Riot's Hope" while he was a member of the
group Nirvana aswell as the early days of the Stingers.
It's the same shape as Aja's. And this Riot is infact the only male doll of the entire line that came with a guitar.
The album cover resembles the one seen in the cartoon episode "Riot's Hope" in design and color, but it included their faces.

Introduced in the episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part One".
Minx got her long blonde hair and some bangs, just like in the cartoon.
They even took notice of how the bangs points to the side.
Just like the other two Stingers, she actually has black eyebrows in the cartoon, regardless of her
bright haircolor. Her eye makeup does seem to resemble the cartoon in color and
shape, but is softer on the doll. She has her red lips, which are even fuller than in the cartoon.
To me, she has more of
an expression to her face than any of the other dolls, with those eyebrows and big red lips.
Unlike the look the 80's doll was supposed to have, she has that kinda mean look she had when causing
trouble in the cartoon. You can tell she is ready to go after Rio.
The outfit is very well made and true to the cartoon.
Minx and Rapture are the first dolls of this line to come with larger earrings, hoops.
The bracelets are correct too, but the
ring I'm not sure where it comes from, perhaps the music video "All In The Style" from the episode
"Straight From The Heart" where she wears alot of rings.
Just like the planned 80's doll,
she has that large black hat, snakeskin pattern pants, and a thick detailed leather belt.
Some news are the golden stars on her top
instead of yellow from the cartoon, and they actually made the leather boots! How do they even make such detailed boots?
They actually gave her a standing synthesizer, which is very appreciated among the Jem fans.
It's not the exact same shape as what we see in the cartoon, but close enough.
Not sure what the sheets of music notes refer to or why Minx comes with them since they say "Composed by
Rory 'Riot' Llewelyn".

Other info on this site:
Rapture and this look was introduced in the episode "The Stingers Hit Town: Part One".
She has the longest hair of all dolls in this line yet, and her hairstyle must have been one of the more difficult
tasks when designing this doll. Also her outfit is probably the most complicated to make among
the group, yet all of it turned out absolutely great.
The eyebrows were black in the cartoon, and the eye makeup is orange but had another shape in the cartoon
that followed the eyebrows more. Lips look very alike.
Fantastic job with the extraordinary outfit. I appreciate especially that they took notice of the shoulders of her
dress being transparent. Perhaps the collar
was even slightly bigger in the cartoon, and the stripes on the skirt weren't as visible. And they made it
a two piece costume with a top and a skirt, instead of a dress.
She's got her three bracelets, one which they made gold (which could have been wider like
in the cartoon) aswell as her earrings.
Can't find the black hairclip in the cartoon, but an appreciated extra.
Her beautiful glittery guitar is correctly a differently colored version of Roxy's guitar.
It is clearly based on what is seen in the cartoon, with a slightly different placement of the decorations.
Her love potion recipe is a hilarious reference to the cartoon. It is never actually seen in the cartoon, but is
based on the ingredients from the episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part Two".

This doll is part of a set along with the Jerrica doll with the same theme. This is the first
time a set of dolls are released togheter in this line. And it also means a much larger box.
The hair looks more and more like Jem's volume and style for each release.
Like Hollywood Jem, Jem is back to purple eye makeup, and she has side-glancing eyes.
This outfit doesn't appear beyond some of the early episodes though, so we never get to see Jem wearing
this along with purple makeup. There's something about the makeup on this doll that makes it look so
different from all the other Jem dolls in this line, maybe it's the combination of the somewhat dark eyebrows
along with the purple makeup.
Definitely a superpopular choice of fashion, and very well designed.
This outfit matches the Jerrica one, and both of them derrive from the 80's line's FlipSide fashion
"Gettin' Down To Business". In the cartoon it first appeared in the episode "Disaster", and the box art of this
doll is inspired by the cartoon music video with the same title as these dolls.
It has a white underskirt like the cartoon design did. The dress is a darker pink than in the cartoon, and seems
based on the 80's doll fashion. The sash was more red/darkpink in the cartoon. The
white stockings are obviously based on the 80's doll line, and looked quite different in the cartoon. If you want
ones that look like in the cartoon, Integrity Toys actually released a pair in another line, Fashion Royalty,
for the doll "Gilded Oligarch Tatyana Alexandrova" in 2018, although it has smaller feet, but probably fits.
Impressive new shape of shoes, very detailed, miniature masterpieces.
Jem had no bracelet with this outfit in the cartoon, but of course always nice with extras.
I like the fact that they even keep varying the color of the mikes with the different Jem dolls, white this
time, which matches the outfit.

Other info on this site:
This doll is part of a set, along with the Jem doll with the same theme.
Nice to see the thick bangs, that's more like we're used to seeing Jerrica.
Jerrica gets really thick eyebrows though, she even beats the Kimber doll.
Pink eyeshadow is very recognizable, but as for the blue around the eyes and the brown eyebrows that's
different.
This outfit first appeared in the episode "Kimber's Rebellion", and is based on Jerrica's part of the 80's doll line
FlipSide fashion called "Gettin' Down To Business".
In the cartoon, Jerrica originally wore this outfit while having her shorter hairstyle, but then briefly
also with longer hair.
The hat, jacket and skirt look so right!
The jacket design and fabric is beautiful and very classy.
A suprise that they decided to make her skirt in leatherlike fabric, instead of in the same fabric as
the jacket.
The sash is more pink than red, so it's apparently based on the 80's doll line.
Jerrica's top is just slightly brighter than in the cartoon, but is not based on the 80's doll blouse
since that one has a slightly different pattern.
The tights weren't white in the cartoon, but had a "larger" net pattern. Shoes look amazingly alike.
Very impressive shoes.
The ring is a new addition to the fashion, not seen in the cartoon, and the 80's line had no rings in the entire
line.
The newspaper is the kind of funny additions that makes you smile.
It has the correct headline and a picture of Rio (infact the IT Rio doll instead of the
cartoon Rio, nice idea), but the name "Variety News" and the article text is made up by Integrity Toys.
