2014 dolls

Can you believe the Integrity Toys Jem line is in it's third year already? That's beyond how long the 80's line lasted, and beyond the amount of dolls and characters released. After releasing all major bands, Integrity Toys have had their own order of releasing the other wellknown characters, and they've kept us guessing and hoping, with clues and hints.

This turned out to be the year of the Holograms' friends, and Misfits' friends, of which there were several main characters left to release, like the remaining members of The Holograms and The Misfits.

Something Integrity Toys choose to do from this year, starting with Raya, was to only include their real last name, but not also the real first name on the boxes. Another surprise was the new shape of box, in retro style, for Rockin' Romance Jem. And even Danielle had a differently colored box.

December 21, 2013 Integrity Toys shocks Jem fans by releasing their new W Club exclusive Jem doll, Countess Danielle Du Voisin. A very nice but unpredictable choice which made alot of Jem fans hopeful that this meant all the more currently appearing characters inbetween would be released aswell. Danielle is styled in her signature sophisticated updo and a very recognizable fashion. To purchase this doll, you had to register for the W Club before January 21, 2014. Membership including the doll was $170. Estimated shipping was May 2014, but ended up becoming at the end of July.

February 13, 2014, Integrity Toys presented three new dolls in the Jem line, Raya Alonso, Jetta Burns and finally also Astral Eldrich. Edition limited to 750 dolls each for Raya and Jetta, and 500 for Astral. Raya comes dressed in her signature floral themed costume, and includes her drum kit. Jetta comes in her signature costume and with a black chrome saxophone. Astral comes with long rooted duo-toned hair and dressed in her long magical jacket. Estimated shipping was sometime in the week of March 17th, 2014.

April 4, Integrity Toys officially announced the mystery doll they had been hinting. Infact it was two dolls, Jem and Pizzazz, in the "JEM / Phyllis "PIZZAZZ" Gabor Duet Gift Set". Both based on the corresponding cartoon fashions seen in the episode "In Stitches" designed by Shana for the rock fashion competition. Limited Edition of 750 Dolls. While already made available to W Club members in late March, any remaining dolls would be available to the public and ready to ship on April 4 via the IT Direct shopping page at the price of $185.00 US.

May 19, Integrity Toys revealed Clash, Video, Danse and Regine! Clash, the most expected doll, comes with as much as three different heads, her original look, her new look and her disguise from Starbright! Video comes with her own miniature video camera. Danse has colorful long hair and an extra outfit featured only in the cartoon. And at last, Integrity Toys releases Regine, the doll Hasbro designed but never produced before the end of the 80's line. All four were to ship in the second week of June 2014. For many fans, we had now gotten so much more than we could have expected, which of course emmediately started speculations of what characters were up next!

June 28, Integrity Toys release their version of the mysterious doll that never made it to the stores in the 80's, Rockin' Romance Jem. She has curly hair in a side ponytail, a bow, wears her pink polka dot dress with a jeweled collar and sparkly high-heel pumps, and is packaged in a box style created for the original 80's doll. This Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive was available directly from the Hasbro Toy Shop (booth #3329) at Comic Con International: San Diego, starting on the preview night, Wednesday July 23rd 2014. A portion of the edition size was set aside and sold via www.hasbrotoyshop.com the week after the show.

After a long break of several months in 2014 without news on november 26, 2014 Integrity Toys announced the next W Club exclusive doll, Techrat! This third male character, and fourth male doll, of the commemorative Jem line came with the Quick Switch feature, newly developed for the Homme body.

    At long last, The Holograms are complete... introducing RAYA ALONSO! Known as the "Fifth Hologram", Raya joined the band after the girls ran a talent contest to find a replacement for their friend Shana Elmsford. Although extremely shy at first, Raya quickly became an integral part of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, even more so after Shana's return. Deemed one of the most talented drummers in the music business, Raya is not only beautiful, she is the most loyal friend any rock star can have!

    She arrived at last, the new addition to the group, with darker pink hair than Jem. Jem fans had no idea if, or when, Raya would even be made for this line. Until Integrity Toys gave us a hint by releasing some Broadway Magic Jem dolls in a Raya box, mistake or hint, who knows. This is my favorite among this set, because the look turned out the best according to the cartoon look. While at the same time, everything is colored slightly differently compared to the 80's doll, hair, makeup, shoes.

    Raya and this look was introduced in the cartoon episode "The Talent Search Part 1", or rather "Scandal" according to episode production number.

    Impressive how they got the hairstyle to look so much like the cartoon, which is different from the 80's doll. They even blended the hair color with two colors to get this color.

    Her skincolor is not very close to the 80's doll, but the less orange the better.

    Raya has a one-color pink eye-makeup in the cartoon, so this is a good example of how Integrity takes the best from the cartoon and 80's doll look. In the cartoon she had black eyebrows though. The lipstick which is slightly darker pink than the hair, resembles the cartoon very well. The eye color is a match.

    I think the flower pattern on the shirt and tights turned out the best of the outfit, although it's not my most favorite part of the original design, and very different from the original pattern. The flower pattern consists of more colors of flowers than in the cartoon, and the flowers continue up on the collar of the shirt unlike the cartoon. Something that differs from the cartoon is the cut of the collar, which looks slightly more like the 80's doll, but even more like a new design. The almost green in the outfit, in the 80's doll version, is more blue here, like in the cartoon. The color, and the way the belt is placed, is also based on the cartoon belt, except for the 80's doll's glitter and belt buckle. The earrings look slightly more like the cartoon earrings than the 80's doll. The shoes are now slightly glittery.

    But the most impressive thing about this release is the drumset it comes with. The drums are incredibly close to the cartoon look, and Integrity Toys were even nice enough to add some extra drums to the set, aswell as the Jem and The Holograms logo. So many parts you have to put togheter to build the drumset, infact 21 pieces. But it's not difficult, and it looks great assembled. In the cartoon she is usually seen with pink or wooden drumsticks rather than white, and they were pink in the 80's line aswell.

    The miniature magazine cover picture of Craig and Raya is taken directly from the cartoon, but they actually misspelt Raya's last name with a "Z".

    Jem and The Holograms can add a new band member? Oh, yeah? Well watch it; so can The Misfits! Introducing Jetta Burns, the hot headed saxophonist from London, UK! Now The Misfits can meet sthe pink haired diva and her friends toe-to-to with more mischief and attitude than ever!

    At the same time as The Holograms got a new member, Jetta joined the Misfits. Introduced in the episode "The Talent Search Part 1", or rather "Scandal" according to episode number. And released at the same time here aswell. And she is very recognizable both to the 80's doll and cartoon.

    Just like the Synergy and Glitter 'n Gold Jem doll, she doesn't get any metallic silver strands in her hair, which the 80's dolls had, but some like it better that way. But she gets alot of volume to it which makes it look alot like in the cartoon. Although in the cartoon it was cut shorter all around.

    The makeup is amazing! Beautiful glittery metallic colors on her eyeshadow. And daring to do such an unusual shape of eyebrows. I really like the variation in her eyebrows alot, and it's very unusual for the IT Jem line. The flash across the face was more based on the 80's doll than the cartoon, but it's not quite as wide as any of them. The eyeshadow doesn't correspond with the cartoon, although the glittering darker colors chosen instead look great. The eye color matches the cartoon. But where did the almost red lipstick come from? Well it was changed to more pink for the next Jetta, released in 2021.

    At first glance, the outfit looks very similar, with some slight differences. The top had no snakeskinpattern in the 80's line and cartoon, and the black fringes were gray/silver in the cartoon. But these updates look great. The stripes on the pants were alot narrower in the cartoon. Very observant to give her yellow earrings. They even gave her a couple of bracelets, not seen in the promo pictures, one of which could have been yellow to match the cartoon and the earrings.

    There's yet a new instrument design, a beautiful shiny saxophone. It had more colors in the cartoon though, as it was black, yellow and gray. But this one is probably based on the entirely black saxophone from the 80's line. She also comes with a miniature "Tinkerbillys" poster, Jetta's former group before she joined the Misfits. Based on the poster Stormer sees in the cartoon.

    Meet talented magician, illusionist and good friend of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, Astral Eldrich! A smart and talented performance artist, Astral dazzles audiences with her amazing tricks and illusions while adding a little mysterious fun to their performances whenever she joins JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS on tour! Astral Eldrich captures every fan's heart with her enchanting bag of tricks!

    And lastly among the three new dolls comes a masterpiece of a doll. Astral was introduced in the cartoon episode "That Old Houdini Magic", and was meant to become a doll in 1988.

    Her two-colored hair, which is a first except for Glitter 'n Gold Jem who also had two colors, turned out great! Very nice to see her hair is so close to the cartoon, perhaps the violet was just slightly brighter in the cartoon though. Perfectly styled with the bangs, and even longer than in the cartoon.

    Her head sculpt is the same as Synergy, and seems to fit her nicely, as does the makeup. They took extra notice of her cartoon makeup coloring, perhaps because of the lack of close-up prototype pictures of the planned 80's doll. But they made the bottom star on her cheek pink instead of violet like her eye makeup and haircolor. Her lipstick was darker pink in the cartoon, but seems like a good match for the 1988 prototype.

    As for the outfit, the entire design of it, and the way Integrity Toys interpreted it, is stunning. She comes with her magic black hat, from the cartoon outfit, but it could have been slightly taller, and was worn along with a cape that is not included. The jacket goes right up there with the best pieces of clothing in this entire line, great cut, beautiful fabric! extremely well done according to the cartoon, and even though the white from the cartoon is more of a holographic silver on this doll, it shines up and looks brighter in light. But all of the rest of the clothing is great aswell. Love the design and that fabric on the top, although it's slightly darker blue in the cartoon. The belt is smaller in the cartoon. Such beautiful fabric on the shorts, and even the tights are glittering, although the dark pink/purple color of the shorts is a much brighter pink in the cartoon, and the tights a brighter turquoise. The shoe fabric is of a new more flat chromed kind, and they were bright pink in the cartoon. But these differences are obviously based on the 1988 doll prototype.

    She does comes with a couple of extras. Like hand cuffs are seen in the cartoon when Astral does a trick inside a trunk, and were turned golden for this doll. And a full deck of miniature cards for her magic tricks, which appear in the cartoon in the music video "She's Got The Power", with a star from the Jem logo added on back of them. Unlike the cartoon, this doll has no crystal ball or rabbit. And unlike the planned 80's doll, she doesn't come with a white dove for magic tricks.

    Well-off French aristocrat, socialite and fashion designer, the Countess played an influential role throughout the career of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS. Stepping in early on in the cult 80's TV series as a mentor figure, Countess Danielle Du Voisin put her wealth and vast network of contacts in both the fashion and entertainment worlds to guide and push the girls, helping them soar to new heights of glamour, fashion and fame!

    Danielle was invented for the cartoon by Christy Marx, and is the first cartoon-only character to be released in this line. A very welcome surprise, because although she was very visible early in the cartoon and a wanted character, no one knew if Integrity Toys would ever release cartoon-based characters that weren't music stars and colorful.

    She's got a french twist updo, just like she did in the cartoon when she wore this outfit. Looks good, and sprayed stiff to keep it in place, so I can't really tell how thick or long Danielle's hair is when let out, neither on this doll nor in the cartoon. The hairstyle could have had a little more volume though. In later episodes it looks more as if she really has short hair and not an updo.

    This was the first character released for this line that got a re-used head sculpt from another character from this same line, Minx. It works well, with the different makeup and hairstyle. The expression looks like Danielle, confident in a mature way. She doesn't wear any obvious makeup at all in the cartoon, and she has either black or blonde eyebrows, rather than brown. But the eyecolor and lipstick look correct, and the eye-makeup doesn't hurt either.

    This is the second look introduced for Danielle, who first appeared in the cartoon episode "Disaster", aswell as this look. I don't know if there was a typical choice of outfit for Danielle, since she seems to wear different fashions equally. This dress is glamorous and fits Integrity Toys' assumed preference of elegant gowns. The dress was slightly more purple in the cartoon, and the hanging fabrics on the shoulders and hips brighter. The buttons holding up the hanging fabric on the hips, were actually the same color as the dress in the cartoon, but an excellent detail to improve by making golden. Her shoes became chromed pink.

    The earrings look a bit like in the cartoon, in the right color, with added gemstones. It wasn't shown in the promotion pictures, but she does come with a beautiful necklace, similar to the one she wore in the cartoon, but instead of golden pearls, it is a chain with a gemstone. And a new shape of bracelets for this line. And she does wear a couple of golden bracelets for this fashion in the cartoon on her left arm, so that's correct.

    The invitation and the coasters do not appear in the cartoon, nor the initials "CDV". But the invitiation is cartoon accurate, considering it's based on when Jem and the Holograms are invited to Danielle's yacht.

    The packaging reveals a new color of the box aswell as sleeve and liner, which I guessed was a hint there were other secondary characters on the way and that this is the design for them, and turns out I was right, because six cartoon-only characters followed that all had the same packaging colors.

    This doll may be harder to get than any of the previous dolls so far, because she was a 2014 W Club exclusive upgrade doll, and only members could order her as an upgrade doll, and the amount made was apparently based on the amount of subscribers buying it in advance.

    When JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and THE MISFITS are hand picked to participate in a rock fashion design contest that is to take place in Venice, Italy, both bands are ecstatic at the thought of traveling to one of Europe's most beautiful cities! This contest is even more special for THE HOLOGRAMS since it represents a phenomenal career opportunity for the band's resident fashion designer, SHANA ELMSFORD, as this will allow her to show the world just how immensely talented she truly is!

    A Jem doll with long curly hair and a bigger box than usual was hinted by Integrity Toys. But barely anyone could have guessed this. This doll is released as part of a set with a Pizzazz doll. This is the second set of two dolls in this line, and it's the first time Jem has this curly big hair. Not how we're used to seeing Jem other than when wearing her Rock 'n Curl outfit. But nice to see Integrity Toys experimenting to give us some variation.

    The eye makeup has never been more accurate in terms of her most famous cartoon look, the one introduced since episode "Starbright Part One: Falling Star", solid bright pink. So wonderful to finally see it. Brown eyebrows though.

    Here Jem and Pizzazz are wearing corresponding outfits from the cartoon, which infact have the same design, based on Shana's design from the cartoon episode "In Stitches" which was never released in the 80's doll line. Who would have thought that this fashion with an almost grayish looking jacket, would turn into a Jem doll by Integrity Toys? I'm not sure whether to interpret the jacket as bright violet in the cartoon, but it looks better than gray on a doll. The shoes, which were regular pumps in the cartoon, have a new cut.

    The microphone has a new color that matches the coat. The miniature sketches by the way, were grabbed right out of the cartoon.

    I love the box design with the scissors, reminding me of Shana's designing for the fashion contest in Venice. And inside the box, the two dolls are located on each side with their own design.

    When JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and THE MISFITS are hand picked to participate in a rock fashion design contest that is to take place in Venice, Italy, both bands are ecstatic at the thought of traveling to one of Europe's most beautiful cities! Quick to make fun of Shana at first, since according to Roxanne "ROXY" Pelligrini, "they have Bobby Stark and she's a nobody", THE MISFITS soon find themselves without a designer and in typical Misfits tradition, hire a thug to steal Shana's designs and eventually, the entire collection that she created for the contest. But of course, the minute Pizzazz saw the collection in person, she immediately ordered that the clothes be dyed black.

    This doll is released as part of a set with a Jem doll. This is the second set of two dolls in this line and the second version released of Pizzazz, but this time without a guitar.

    Pizzazz appears to have thicker bangs than her regular hairstyle. Infact this hairstyle probably never appeared in the cartoon, but it's a nice variation.

    This Pizzazz face is different from the previous since has side-glancing eyes, and her lips are a different color and are painted a bit differently with a darker line surrounding them. Plus, since this Pizzazz comes with two pairs of golden hands, she doesn't come with the other pair of skincolored hands, and the regular hands she does come with have a more matte nailpolish.

    Both dolls are wearing corresponding outfits from the cartoon episode "In Stitches", which were never planned for the 80's doll line. Infact it's different colors and patterns of the same design. Except Pizzazz has a collar and gloves on top of it, aswell as different earrings. Her outfit is very well made, and they took it up a notch by making the yellow into golden chrome, for the gloves and part of the belt. The purple of the tights pattern, is not quite as purple as in the cartoon. The collar looks perfect.

    This is the first doll of the line to come with three pairs of hands. Pizzazz comes with a miniature sketch one of the fashions Shana designs for the fashion contest, right out of the cartoon. It appears to be the fashion Stormer wore, which was dyed black.

    CLASH MONTGOMERY, friend and fan of the MISFITS and mischievous troublemaker! All Clash Montgomery ever wanted was to be noticed and become an integral part of her favorite band, The Misfits. Ready to do anything to please Pizzazz, Clash will stop at nothing to cause trouble for JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and her cousin VIDEO MONTGOMERY! Watch out JEM, the MISFITS are out to get you!

    The most eye-catching of this wave of four dolls, and presented first at the webinar. Integrity Toys seem to have wanted to satisfy everyone's tastes, and gave us both the original cartoon look and the Hasbro look, and then some! The third look is Clash' first disguise from the cartoon, which is what initiated her role of master of disguise for the series.

    These three looks, were introduced in the cartoon episodes "Starbright Part One: Falling Star" (double-colored hair and outfit), "Starbright Part Three: Rising Star" (blonde disguise) and "Glitter and Gold" (slightly re-designed outfit and purple hair to match the 80's doll).

    So nice to see Clash in her two-colored hairstyle, the way we got to know her. As for the orange/teal two-colored mix, it was supposed to be more towards red/darkpink, but the colors can vary according to picture-source version of the episode. And orange isn't too far away. So happy to get the two-colored look either way, it's my favorite look for Clash. There is no doubt they had Clash's original makeover in mind from the episode "Starbright Part Three: Rising Star" for the blonde head, correct hairstyle and color. And the purple looks great, and alot like in the cartoon.

    All the heads of course share the same sculpt, which is the same as the Kimber doll, while the Video doll of this same wave shares head sculpt with Jerrica, which was a choice Integrity Toys made to keep the family resemblance between these cousins (same with Jerrica and Kimber who are sisters). Although in the 80's, Clash shared head sculpt with Danse and Jetta.

    Although Integrity Toys dolls have come with this feature before, this is the first time a Jem doll comes with the so called "quick switch" feature, to change heads. This is version 2.0. You snap the head off and switch to another, don't ask me how at the moment, but that's why instructions are included.

    And as for the makeup, it's the same on the purple and two-colored head except for the lipsick, but obviously different for the blonde head. Clash no longer has a smiling head sculpt like she did in the 80's, and alot more fitting makeup. The shapes of the eye makeup is close to the cartoon, but the orange on her right eye could have been a little more sharp and gone further down on the cheek. Then there's the line that goes from her left eyebrow and up to her hairline, which is a detail that half the time doesn't appear in the cartoon, but which is a little thicker on the Integrity Toys doll. Integrity Toys probably based it on the 80's doll, which does have a line like that on the other eye, but which is less apparent because it's bright pink.

    The mini-fur jacket, was a favorite piece of mine in the 80's line, and here it's even fluffier, and slightly more green. Perhaps the lapels of the jacket was a little brighter in the cartoon. The dress is black in the cartoon and shimmering, a detail that is very difficult to spot sometimes in the cartoon but which Integrity Toys noticed and solved beautifully with mini sequins. I love it whenever they make entire pieces of clothing in mini-sequins. It's several levels above what they did with the 80's line, and it looks amazing up close. In the cartoon she has no tights, but Integrity Toys did a good job with a solution that is inbetween the 80's doll line and cartoon look, by giving her brighter pink tights that are almost skincolored. Shoes are black like in the cartoon, rather than dark pink as in the 80's doll line. The earrings resemble the cartoon well.

    Another great thing about this doll, is the cymbal bracelets, which look alot like in the cartoon. Finally this cartoon "instrument" is included with Clash rather than her 80's dolls' distortion modulator and headset that the 80's doll had. Well those would have been nice to have too. She even comes with a miniature Cool Trash magazine, showing the look of Clash disguised as Jem. At first glance it looks like it's directly from the cartoon, but it has different fonts and that blue star that says "Crazy stars issue" was not there. This is based on Alain's favorite cover of the Cool Trash magazines seen in the cartoon. Previously another Cool Trash magazine cardboard cover was included with the first Integrity Toys Pizzazz doll, with Kimber on the cover.

    "VIDEO" MONTGOMERY, top music video producer and friend of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS! In the 1980s, no self-respecting rock band could do without totally awesome music videos to promote their songs... That's where "VIDEO" MONTGOMERY comes in! Through the magical eye of her lens, VIDEO (as she is known to her friends) creates the visual image of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS! A good friend of the band, VIDEO is at the forefront of technology and no one in the industry can beat her sleek imagery!

    Perhaps not so colorful at first glance, but this doll turned many people around once they received her. Video, and this look was introduced in the cartoon episode "Starbright Part One: Falling Star".

    The hair was more yellow in the 80's doll line, and Integrity Toys didn't go with the fluffy hairstyle. Instead they added a nice hint towards the original look in the cartoon, the two-colored hair, with yellow and a brighter almost white color on the left side. Which I prefer.

    This doll shares head sculpt with Jerrica, while Clash shares head sculpt with Kimber, in an attempt to keep the family resemblance since Video and Clash are cousins. And the blonde head for Clash doesn't look all that different from this one does it? Good idea since the 80's line shared atleast the sculpt between Kimber and Video, so I guess it's not too farfetched that the Benton sisters resemble the Montgomery cousins.

    The eyebrows are brown on this doll, while in the cartoon they were always black. The three-colored eyemakeup, with yellow, purple and green, resemble the cartoon rather than the 80's doll makeup (including no beauty spot), and matches her outfit. The eye makeup could have been shaped just a little bit differently though, and the green could have had some more area especially underneath the eyes. The lipstick is also based on the cartoon color.

    Integrity Toys kinda reversed the fabrics of the jacket, by making the main purple fabric velvet, and the lapels shiny. And less glitter may seem more fitting for a character that is not a rockstar, but a documentary- and music video maker. They also changed the color of the lapels from green in the 80's line and cartoon, to turquoise. The fabric of the jacket makes it look brighter. The pockets and stars on them, and on the collar and sleeves, are from the original cartoon look where the pockets were purple though, but I don't mind the extra glitter.

    The belt didn't have that wide shape under the belt buckle. The pants became supercool leather pants, but were slightly more orange in the cartoon and the stripes on both legs were shaped differently. So the color matches the 80's doll more. The shoes were more green, but since Integrity Toys changed the color of the lapels, they match them better.

    The hairpiece is replaced by a hairclip in the same shape that previously came with the Rapture doll of this line. Video had no earrings with this outfit in the cartoon nor 80's line, but earrings are always a nice extra.

    Video is the only non-singer doll in the entire line to come with a microphone. What makes this release real special though, is the fact that Integrity Toys actually went as far as to create a video camera, 80's style, complete with a recorder, a cord, a strap, and stickers. The video camera isn't based on anything seen in the cartoon, nor is the name "Toshima". But it looks great. And infact, IT looked for different video cameras from the 80's, and set on this design, which is based on a Toshiba camera, perhaps IK-1850. Toshiba had a number of cameras in similar shapes, but this is also a good representation of 80's video cameras because other brands had similar designs at the time aswell.

    "DANSE" DVORAK, official choreographer of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and top professional dancer! While "VIDEO" MONTGOMERY catches all of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS' music videos on film, "DANSE" Dvorak is the true artist who choreographs it all and helps bring JEM's music to life with her sleek dance moves and perfectly coordinated routines. DANSE (as her friends call her) is also the spokesperson of a halfway house for runaway teens called Haven House and does a lot of charity work. She and her friends THE HOLOGRAMS have a deep bond and it truly shows on screen!

    Danse and this outfit was introduced in the cartoon episode "The Music Awards Part 2", based on the 1987 doll.

    Perhaps the most colorful of all the dolls, with her long rainbow-colored hair, in pink, blue, blonde and orange. Although she could have come with some more of all colors, while the blonde could have been more yellow. But you have to see her in reality to really get a fair look at the colors spread across her big hair. And some of the dolls have more blonde and some more pink it seems. I wish Hasbro had made her hair this long in the 80's!

    She has the correct eye color. The blue eyebrows are from the 80's doll. Eye makeup is based on cartoon, but they added some more layers of pink and even purple. Lips are red like in her original cartoon look before she changed to pink. And can you believe she shares head sculpt with Pizzazz?

    Outfit looks great, very glittery compared to the cartoon, but seems more based on the cartoon version than the 80's doll, which was a good choice in my opinion. The jacket is a beautiful piece, and a big improvement from the 80's line, with a glittery chromed fabric and stronger colors, pink lapels is based on the 80's doll, but without the fringes at the bottom, which is kinda of a surprising decision considering it had fringes both on the 80's doll and in the cartoon. I'm inclined to believe IT wanted to modernize her look.

    The top is white like in the cartoon, rather than orange from the 80's line. And instead of simply a top, it is an entire "body", which works like it's own look for her dancing. Belt color is based on the cartoon look, rather than 80's line golden. Shoe color is based on the cartoon purple, rather than 80's line orange.

    They even gave her an full ballerina outfit from the cartoon. Slightly different color tones. The legwarmers were darker in the cartoon, and she had ballerina shoes. She didn't have any earrings in the 80's line, but what Integrity Toys doll can come without earrings? They're always nice enough to include them anyway. I don't think she is ever seen with these kind of earrings in the cartoon either, but either small pearls or different kinds of shapes.

    The miniature handbill, is a nice touch, looks alot like in the cartoon, but with Jem stars instead of regular stars. She didn't come with a cape like the cartoon outfit had, nor a hairpiece or boom box from the 80's doll. But the many other pieces she came with makes up for it.

    Meet REGINE CESAIRE favorite fashion designer of the stars! An up and coming fashion designer REGINE CESAIRE was discovered by COUNTESS DANIELLE DUVOISIN and introduced to JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS who immediately agreed to have REGINE create a new look for them, which REGINE named after her birth place, the Martinique look. Ultra-talented, REGINE is highly sought-after by rock stars looking to "up their game" and make a splash on stage. REGINE has created looks for all of the greats, including THE STINGERS!

    For the first time she finally makes it into a long awaited doll, since she was planned but never released by Hasbro in 1988. But she was introduced with this outfit in the cartoon episode "Straight From The Heart". She looks just as you could have hoped. While slightly different from the planned 80's doll. She appears to be more based on the cartoon look, with an extra updated touch of IT brilliance.

    One thing she got neither from the planned 80's doll nor the cartoon, was the haircolor versus the dress' shoulder color and shoe color aswell, since the hair was much brighter, but now it's reversed. I could have wished the hair was just a little more different from Aja's, a little more aqua. But it still looks great, and so does the hairstyle and length, although it was slightly longer for the planned 1988 doll.

    She is the first doll in the line not to have either a new head sculpt, nor a re-used one from the Jem line, since she is using one from another existing Integrity Toys line. She barely had any makeup in the cartoon, just some simple dark pink around the eyes, which is very little for a Jem character. Although Integrity Toys has gone the other way with most other Jem dolls, and softened down their eye-makeup, they added a bigger area of makeup to this doll. They also changed the colors from pink to two shades of purple, and made the lipstick darker. They got the brown eyecolor cartoon-accurate, with the addition of a hint of green.

    The outfit has alot of differences compared to the 80's doll, in favor of the cartoon look. Like the black on the shoulders, the pattern in the middle of the dress, the amount of dots on the tights. The shoes are brighter than in the cartoon, and more resemble the planned 80's doll though. Also the dots on her hairbow are rather from the planned 80's doll.

    A very nice detail, which was definitely based on the planned 80's doll, is the portfolie which actually opens with a zipper. A very special extra, along with two miniature fashion sketches from the cartoon.

    Ready for romance in a pink polka dot dress with a jeweled collar and sparkly high-heel pumps, Rockin' Romance Jem is ready for a night on the town with her beau Rio Pacheco!

    A very mysterious doll because it was the one doll that was rumored to have just barely made it past Hasbro's cancellation of the 80's doll line, in small quantities. Some fans like it because they've dreamt of finding the rare and therefore expensive 80's doll. And some love the new romance themed look for Jem which added a new style for Jem, from near the end of the cartoon when she was starting to fall for Riot. Introduced in the cartoon episode "The Day The Music Died".

    The planned 80's doll was to have crimped hair. The Integrity Toys doll has curly hair like the cartoon hairstyle seen with this outfit. She actually has thinner hair than all the other Jem dolls so far in this line, to be able to put up the hair like that. Face is perfect, correct eye makeup and shape and lipstick. Brown eyebrows though, instead of black.

    Outfit was a little more red in the cartoon, but otherwise extremely close and well made. The hairbow is even correctly a triplebow. They also skipped the white dots on the tights, and instead of the netlike fabric used in the hairbow and bottom part of the skirt, Integrity Toys used the same solid dotted dress fabric all the way through. Beautiful glittery shoes, that matches both the cartoon and planned 1988 doll.

    The planned 80's doll was to have white pearl earrings. This doll comes with hanging star earrings which look more like the earrings that were to come with the American Beauty Jem doll. The bracelets are silver-colored in another shape than the planned 1988 doll, but which matches the cartoon bracelets.

    Integrity Toys made the red microphone chromed. A nice detail is the pink frame with as much as three pictures of Rio, from the 80's doll box art. This picture frame is directly based on the one that was to come with the planned 80's doll.

    This is the first doll in the line, and only doll released this year, to come with the new version of the black stands, with slightly different colors on the Jem logo, and which has the new IT logo on the underside aswell as saying 2014 instead of 2012.

    This is one of those amazing releases where even the packaging is just as stunning. Integrity Toys actually re-created the entire 80's box with all the correct art and fonts, even the liner inside is the correct color, and they also included the pin-code. A funny detail though is that they changed one thing, the recommended age to "Ages 15 & Up". But on top of that the packaging has an extra cover in silver and pink.

    Thanks Integrity Toys for making this doll happen, and for making a perfect representation of Jem at the San Diego Comic-Con.

    You want that white pearl necklace that the 1988 doll was to come with? IT released a doll in another line of theirs, East 59th, with a very good match for it, called Captivating Cocktails Constance Madssen.

Also two extra pictures of Rio, also from the 80's doll line artwork for fashions. Back.

    The Doll Circle's Youtube video review of Rockin' Romance Jem.


  • 14063
    Watch Out Jem, There's a New Bad Boy in Town! When record executive ERIC RAYMOND needs a gimmick to give an edge to make life more difficult for his business rivals, he calls on TECHRAT! Reclusive and a totally introverted computer genius, TECHRAT only cares about his work and the technological wonders he can create. Self-absorbed and introverted, as far as he is concerned, to him the goal in life is to create dazzling electronic gimmicks... Whether his creations are sometimes used for good or evil by others doesn't phase him at all; as long as no one touches him in the process, it's all good with our guy!

    So happy to see that one of the most wanted characters, Techrat, becomes a doll for the first time! More male dolls were definitely needed for this line. Not planned for the 80's doll line, Techrat was created by Christy Marx and first appeared in the cartoon episode "The Music Awards Part 1" and this outfit in "The Jem Jam Part 2".

    When the publicity pictures were announced, Jem fans disagreed with the hairline placement leaving too much baldness on the head, so Integrity Toys, who is great at listening to their fans, promised to add more hair on the top of the head before the release, which is the reason it was somewhat delayed.

    They used a previously head sculpt, Declan, from another line of theirs, for Techrat. But a very good choice of sculpt in my opinion. And maybe they had Techrat in mind already when creating this sculpt since the first doll using it was released so close before, and looked so much like Techrat already. They even got the eyecolor right, and the face seems to match the cartoon look well.

    A very exciting bonus, which is the first for this line, is the quick switch head feature for a male doll! And they actually included an extra head, with a new and different look for Techrat. So anyone who isn't a fan of Techrat's hairstyle, or anyone who likes alot of hair to style, is sure to be happy.

    I might have expected his regular outfit, which was worn alot more, but I think they went for the more cool one to create in a doll version, rather than a gray suit and beige coat. And the outfit they choose had many changes though. Wow that coat alone probably resulted in some sales for this doll, it's a very well made piece.

    The coat is more red than in the cartoon though, were it was slightly more brown, and buttons are added, and another kind of pocket. Also the vest is very impressive. They slightly shortened the length of the vest though, removed the belt, changed the white shirt into a scarf, changed the design and color of the pants. These pants look more like they belong to his regular outfit, which is an understandble choice.

    The shoes could have been yellow like in the cartoon. But regardless of all these changes it looks alot like Techrat and you can barely notice the differences at first sight.

    An 80's computer was a logical choice of accessory. Techrat uses computers alot in the cartoon, and this resembles an 80's computer. Haven't compared the exact look to the cartoon though. And they even took the chance to add something special on screen, a recognizable sight from the Misfits music video of "Gimme A Gimmick".

It attaches to a bottom part that has the keyboard which is also lightgray, with darkgray keys, and some details in, red/green/black/white. The top and bottom doesn't stick together, so they can easily be taken apart. This feels like a heavy and sturdy quality piece, and I looked up whether resin is fragile, which it apparently isn't. I think this and the Graphix doll's spraycans are the only times we have gotten accessories in resin material in this line. Front. Back. Screen underside. Keyboard.

Black plastic underarm support, to put on top of the pole to hold the doll. 3 pieces in total. Back. Base in bag. Base in bag back. Underarm support in bag.

    Certificate of authenticity: Glossed hotpink card with the Jem and the Holograms logo. Says "Ultra-limited edition", and has the Integrity Toys and Hasbro logos. Marked 2014. In bag with decals and instructions.

    Instructions: White glossed paper with purple print, with instructions for female dolls, removal of heads, removal of hands, assembling the stand, aswell as warning about choking hazard for small parts. Says "Clash Montgomery" so I guess the re-used the same instructions because of the quick-switch feature. In bag with decals and certificate.

    Note: Hotpink background, and says "Thank You" in 11 languages, each in a different color. The backside has a note about the computer accessory. It says it handmade in resin material, and there can be slight variations in paint. I haven't come across any that look different from mine though.
