This was a year of a big boxes with multiple accessories, re-released characters, and some characters that had never been made into dolls before. And sadly this was the first year, since the line started, that we didn't get any Jem doll for Comic-con, well infact we didn't get a single interpretation of Jem herself.
This year IT got back into the idea of the first year, of making a set of dolls, Riot/Stormer/Kimber/Pizzazz.
All sold separately, although they didn't all have a direct connection to each other fashionwise. These came in a
new kind of very
special box which was designed as a playset, resembling the Rock Backstager from the 80's line.
IT really outdid themselves with these boxes. After
many separate releases, it felt like this line was back to its glory days. All of these dolls even
came with an extra outfit and a new accessory in form of a Jem-style transparent neon chair. Two of the dolls,
Kimber and Stormer, were matching to depict their duo from "The Bands Break Up".
For the first time in this line, IT added some popular bonus outfits for purchasing some of the remaining
dolls in their stock: Pizzazz, Roxy, Stormer, Minx, and Rapture. These dolls of course came with
everything the original doll came with (although on this page only the bonus outfit will be mentioned
in the reviews).
It was a surprise announcement, and the dolls with bonus outfits were all ready to ship immediately, shortly
before Christmas,
which was stressing to many completist collectors at first to raise money since the amount available for limited according to
amount of dolls still available for sale of those characters. IT did work out payment plans
for their customers though to get around this.
Although you had to re-buy a doll you already had, you did get a high quality doll and a new extra outfit.
But IT were not only competing with people's Christmas budget, but kinda competing with themselves aswell,
since they had just released a new Pizzazz and Stormer that same year.
Off-site sources of Integrity Toys:
Suave and masculine, yet always sweet and tender, Sean Harrison will melt your
heart with his piercing baby blues and "oh so 80s" sense of style. His look is
dead on for the period and he can't wait to join your collection, perhaps asking
for Kimber's hand in the process? Who knows? Kimber will have to make up her
mind before Pizzazz steals him away!
Kimber's musician boyfriend becomes a doll for the first time, as the first
cartoon-only character that was not created by Christy Marx, but by Mary Skrenes,
introduced in her episode "The World Hunger Shindig".
He had a big re-appearing role in the cartoon, and Kimber needed an actual doll boyfriend, since
Ollie wasn't officially Jeff. With the little love given to cartoon
characters by Jem IT collectors, this was one doll fans really wanted to be
made. Infact Sean was the winner of the 2015 W Club poll. And the reception was very good.
This is infact a character there was a buzz about among Jem fans. There was even
talk of this specific existing head sculpt, previously seen on the IT doll
Callum Windsor, which some already had as their substitute for Sean.
Although, the shape of the eyebrows and the nose perhaps isn't an exact match,
as a whole it looks like him and looks good.
This is the first outfit we ever see him in in the cartoon. But he is known
to wear light blue, purple and white, aswell as details on his jacket, and
horizontal lines on his shirt, so regardless of what outfit you prefer for him
I guess this has those particular features that usually represent him.
This is probably the most fun outfit IT could have chosen for him.
I like the classy looking fabric used on his shirt.
Interesting choice of IT to make the bright violet stripes on his shirt pink instead, it matches the white belt that they
turned pink aswell.
The lines on his pants are slightly thinner in the cartoon though.
His white shoes in the cartoon became black on this doll, a drastic change that totally works and matches his hair.
He had no visible wristwatch in the cartoon, but a nice extra.
Beautiful work on the brooch, very much resembles the cartoon.
Trivia, when IT gave us the sneak previews of this doll, all three miniature
preview pictures showed us things that had no relation to Sean at all,
head sculpt created for earlier doll, wristwatch he never wore in the cartoon, different
color of sleeve, and different color of shoes.

One of the most notable male characters in the line, gets his well deserved second edition dolls!
Riot's star quality, that sculpt and long blonde hair is a hit also with none-Jem IT collectors.
This Riot has the Hungarian skin tone, his eyebrows are improved from the previous
release where Jem fans thought they were slightly too bright, and he now has side-glancing eyes, now
with a mix of green and brown.
Comes with two outfits from the cartoon. Very high class outfits here, some of the best in this line.
Main one, with the red jacket, first appeared in the cartoon episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part Two".
Beautiful red fabric used for the jacket, and beautiful golden embroidery on the lapels, even an extra line
compared to the cartoon. IT were attentive to details, particularly when making the jacket sleeves,
that golden embroidery is hard to spot in the cartoon, but it is correct.
The insides of the legs are missing the golden stripe from the cartoon.
Boots straps are black instead of yellow as they were in the cartoon.
Pants became black on the doll rather than gray.
I guess the shorty gloves Riot wore in the cartoon were too complicated to make (or maybe IT didn't think
those added alot to the doll look), but it's fine to make them painted hands instead.
And very clever to choose that particular second outfit for this doll, first introduced in the same
episode, since it even kinda creates a third look when the jacket is taken off, which we also see
in the cartoon. Veyr well made, with few differences.
Scarf has slightly different print.
Jacket got less buttons on the doll than in the cartoon.
That armband became a little bit bigger on the doll.
Yellow stripes on pants became golden on the doll.
Maybe the pants should have been tights on the doll, but maybe then it would have been hard to make a
golden and elastic fabric.
Unlike the first outfit for this doll, this outfit has its actual shorty gloves included.
This is the first male doll of the line to come with three pairs of hands.
Something entirely new here, that originally has no direct relation to Jem really,
is the 80's style neon stool. I like this kind of thing when IT added their own touch. It really
glammed this release up. Stools were also included with the other three dolls of this
collection, Kimber, Stormer and Pizzazz.

A very iconic and recognizable Kimber look from the cartoon!
Which first appeared in the cartoon episode "Frame Up", and perhaps more iconic in the cartoon episode '
"The Bands Break Up" matched with Stormer's outfit, but also known for
being worn together with a set of outfits of the other Holograms.
Hereby Kimber got her second release, without her bandmembers this time. Probably this look would have been
even more amazing if Aja and Shana were released in their "corresponding" looks here.
I'm not much for releasing outfits for completion,
but in this case Aja's and Shana's corresponding outfits have a completely different design which I like each for their own,
and which are only known as a set for appearing together, but in some very iconic moments.
One of my favorite things about the first IT Kimber, was her thick dark eyebrows.
They are replaced with thinner brighter ones here, but which resemble Kimber more
as she looked after the original five cartoon episodes. She suddenly looks much softer,
but that's a good contrast to Kimber's second look included here.
Excited to see the mustard outfit interpreted as gold, although the cartoon look it was based
on had no direct such indications. IT even added a top underneath, and a golden bracelet.
In the cartoon she had differently shaped earrings though.
The "Bad Kimber" look included as an extra head and fashion, with orange hair and
badgirl outfit from the episode "Scandal", is legendary IT-gold among us collectors already! ,
IT shows so much love for the Jem cartoon by giving us this. It was a one-episode thing
that really stuck out to us fans. And we did need an orange haired character in this line.
And this badgirl is probably a big reason many bought this doll.
The badgirl look is very much like in the cartoon.
I do see some slight differences in eyemakeup, in shape and color, aswell as color of lips.
IT toned it down just a notch, but that's fine. She could have had an even angrier look
though, like in the cartoon. Perhaps Kimber was supposed to
have an anklet around her right boot though, kinda like her necklace. Interesting
and nice choice of shiny pants fabric.
None of these outfits were ever in the Hasbro line. Although the mustard/golden outfit
might have supposed to be the FlipSide fashion "Music In The Air", if the cartoon based
its look on a very different looking early prototype, which it might have.
This Kimber set sold well enough on her own, and was the most popular of the On-Stage
Collection, beating Riot, Pizzazz, and Stormer.
If you're confused about the looks in the promotional pictures, IT accidentally switched
the necklaces around between the looks. Who can blame them if they mix up two pieces, this
must be the doll of this entire line that came with most accessories ever (unless you
count the giftsets with more than one doll).

Time for another edition of Stormer, which is part of the Bands Break Up theme within the On-Stage collection.
The main outfit is a 80's doll line 1986 Smashin' Fashion called "Makin' Mischief",
but also a classic cartoon fashion since it was the second actual fashion (that wasn't just
a music video fashion) she ever wore in the cartoon, introduced in the episode "Disaster".
Also recognizable from when Stormer and Kimber left their bands in the cartoon
episode "The Bands Break Up".
I really like this look. Although it's very different compared to the 80's doll fashion, which
had no hairpiece, no earrings, no necklace, and no bracelet.
The 80's fashion was not a dress and tights, but a jumpsuit with a skirt, and the shoes were
not pumps but sandals. Plus the 80's fashion had different color tones on everything, and
no dots on the belt and socks.
So it's safe to say IT based this fashion mostly on the cartoon version.
But IT made the dress brighter, and I might have wished the dress was slightly longer.
Nice touch on the earrings, necklace, and nice to see Stormer with another hairpiece than
her flower. IT made the blueish tights more purple and removed it's lines, and added a bracelet.
I really like the changes in makeup which more resemble her cartoon look, and the new shape of eyebrows
gives her more of an expression and feels like they fit the occasion of the Bands Break Up.
Her second dress is part of a set of matching outfits for the other Misfits, where the
corresponding versions for Pizzazz and Roxy were later released as a bonus with the remaining stock
of their original releases, and Jetta's in a set of Matching Medley fashions in 2022.
This outfit first appeared in the cartoon episode "The Music Awards Part 2", and even this was seen with
Kimber in "The Bands Break Up".
Correct colors, also the shoes.
Dress looks kinda short on the doll.
Interesting choice of IT how
they did that black part of the dress, because I always
envisioned it in the cartoon as
black feathers. The earrings and bracelets do not belong to this fashion in the cartoon, instead she has small
pearl earrings, but these particular earrings are seen with one of her other outfits in the episode
"The Bands Break Up" and is a nice extra.

This is a top choice by Integrity Toys for a Pizzazz outfit.
A cartoon-only outfit that IT named after a wellknown Misfits song,
"Designing Woman" from the cartoon episode "In Stitches", which seems to be a favorite episode of the IT designers,
where this fashion was first seen.
Perhaps not the most unique choice
considering they already released Pizzazz in a similar outfit with a coat, for the In Stitches
Duet Gift Set with Jem and Pizzazz. But nonetheless an equally beautiful and iconic look.
Coat (and its sleeves) is a bit shorter than in the cartoon, and IT added buttons in front.
The belt was thicker in the cartoon.
Sock was longer in the cartoon.
Really nice to see things like the high boots, and with a watch on one of them,
although the boots were a little shorter in the cartoon, but a nice improvement.
The earrings look like a good match, although she is not wearing them on any of the promotional pictures,
perhaps they made them afterwards.
Amazing that they made all of those wristwatches, and in the correct colors!
She wore them on the opposite arms in the cartoon compared to promotional pictures though.
The big deal with this release though, is this is the first Pizzazz to have a really neon
hair color, close to the 80's doll version. Hard to see in the promotional pictures perhaps.
Also, the extra head was a nice addition. Although very little is known about it since it's a
look that might have been released
if Hasbro had continued their Jem line in 1988. But a nice update and surprise for the IT line.
The extra head has different colored lips, which matches a pair of the hands, although in some of the promo
pictures the heads are not matched with the hands that has the same nail color.
The extra outfit was a very good choice! Also a cartoon-only outfit, first seen in one of my favorite episodes,
"In Search Of The Stolen Album". The shape of the dress is correct, according to the IT doll which has very long legs
compared to some other doll lines. But because of that, this dress gets longer
beneath the waist, than it looks in the cartoon.
Although the white tiger print, was more of lighting bolt shapes in the cartoon.
The belt looked more yellow in the cartoon, but I'm glad they made it match Pizzazz'
hair on the IT doll. The bracelet had another color in the cartoon, which matched the
shoes. Really nice to see they made the earrings, but sometimes for this outfit in the cartoon they were
hoops instead.
In the 80's doll line, the name "Designing Woman" was used on a another fashion, a very different looking one.

Here she is! The Stingers' mysterious friend aswell as Misfits rival.
Graphix was once planned for the 80's Jem Hasbro line, aswell as the cartoon,
and she even became a Hasbro prototype.
Some Jem fans disagreed with the choice of making Graphix into a doll,
read more on the mystery page.
Because, unlike other plans for 1988, Graphix was
consciously scrapped by Hasbro, and was not going to happen even if the 80's line had continued.
The source material was limited to a few doll prototype pictures, and there is no official
artwork, only completely unofficial artwork made decades later by Jem fans. And although
Christy Marx created a description for this character, she never planned any
script for her for the cartoon, and no cartoon art is known.
Also, the IT line already had so many blonde female dolls released, and some fans had
other dreams they wanted to come true as IT dolls, like
characters that actually appeared repeatedly in the cartoon and were created by
Christy Marx herself.
But Graphix had enough fans that dreamt of this mysterious
character to be made. And now that this doll was created, Hasbro officially approved Graphix, so now she
is official!
Many interpreted Graphix as a Misfits friend.
Infact this was the first doll to come with a box with an inside that featured text like "Pizzazz rocks!".
Although, Graphix wasn't going to even like the Misfits according to Christy Marx,
but was a Stingers fan. But to this day
many IT collectors regard her as a Misfits friend because the Misfits had so few friends released compared to the
Holograms. Well the Stingers had even less friends, so don't take Graphix away from them.
IT went with really yellow hair this time, unlike with Lindsey and Video.
This doll infact has something very exciting for this line, haircolor prints, in form of red polka dots
and green squares. Although apparently it wears off slightly if washed.
In the yellow hair are also a hard-to-spot-in-pictures streaks of light blonde.
The makeup on the cheeks looks great! And I really like that they made the eyebrows blue.
Some collectors had a jacket custom made for them, which resembles the one in the prototype pictures.
I really like the fabric used on the skirt, kinda holographic in a way if you see its
material and texture in real life, but a fragile material, so handle with care.
The skirt thankfully became longer on the IT doll than in the prototypes.
And also the shoes changed on the IT doll to higher boots with laces.
The IT doll got a portfolio instead of that unknown accessory the 80's doll had.
The IT doll got a Misfits bracelet in red, and spraypaint cans which we don't know if the 80's doll would have come with.
This doll, aswell as the 1988 head IT released with the Desiging Woman Pizzazz doll, is
part of a Jem-world we never really knew, so you almost shiver as you look at it, and
wonder what Hasbro wanted to say with Graphix. What we do know is that she's a graffiti artist who shakes things
around wherever she arrives!
IT did an amazing prototype, and then based
the amount they made upon pre-orders. We never even learned how many were made, but the
edition size is believed to be 400 or less.
This is the first doll in this line, where IT didn't use the real name, only the stage
name, and not even the last name. Her full name is Gwen Snyder.
This is the only official doll this year where the fashion pieces and accessories are actually marked 2016 rather
than 2014. Some of these dolls were accidentally shipped in Zipper boxes.
Prototype heads of this doll are quite common to find for sale online.

This is the first skirt in this line that isn't lined with a fabric inside.
The fabric is perhaps the most sensitive out of any fabrics in the line for moist, which will make it lose its

Pizzazz gets a bonus outfit to match Stormer's, also this one first appeared in the cartoon episode
"The Music Awards Part 2". For completion, this is a must for Jem
fans. But it's also a notch better than Stormer's version, more detailed
shoulders and a boa. The shoes though, are just the shoes included with the main outfit.
Just as with Stormer's outfit, the center part of the dress is a cutout kinda faux leather
material, rather than what I would had done, feathers or some kind of soft boa material.
Otherwise very close to the cartoon look. Boa was perhaps more orange in cartoon, and
shoes were violet.
I like that this dress is longer than Stormer's version, because it was kinda short.
This release of course also included everything that was included with the original
release of Pizzazz.

Roxy's corresponding outfit for Stormer and Pizzazz, both of which have also been released with their version of
this set of fashions. I don't really understand the title they choose for this (perhaps a quote from an
early episode from before this fashion appeared) but this is my
favorite look of the three. That black fabric looks better just
staying on top like here.
Unlike for Pizzazz, this seems quite simple, a one piece extra. But it's good match for the cartoon,
and it's a long dress and looks hard to make.
But she wore black pumps in the cartoon.
The sandals she wore with her original outfit, don't quite
work with this bonus outfit.

The remaining Stormer dolls in stock were released with a bonus outfit. Although the Pizzazz and
Roxy re-release of this set were matches to complete the previous Stormer doll, so this one doesn't match
theirs.
So, here comes a third outfit for Stormer. The best one yet! There are perhaps
more recognizable looks for Stormer, but this is a full look in several pieces, and it even
matches Kimber since it appeared in the episode "The Bands Break Up" when Stormer joined Kimber.
It's a look I like very much from the cartoon, and very happy to see IT made it happen at this point.
Colors are perhaps a little bit brighter on the doll than in the cartoon. In the cartoon
she had an orange bracelet, earrings, boots and socks.

Maybe just the third most common look for Rapture, but I think most agree this is a
great one for her, as good as the Minx choice and a perfect match for it. And even if not colorwise,
this is also the match for the main outfit of the second Riot doll, since they appeared together in the cartoon.
First seen in the cartoon episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part Two". The name "Destiny" refers to a song title
from a later episode where this fashion was not seen.
The most beautiful part of this release must be the jacket, so
carefully done into perfection.
In the cartoon this came with a necklace, some slightly different bracelets, and white
boots. Otherwise a close match.

Although this is the same doll which hasn't had a change of last name, it's misspelled
here with an extra "E", which is a common misspelling even on many big Jem sites.
First seen in the episode "The Stingers Hit Town Part Two", and the name "Are You Feeling Alright?" refers
to a song in the episode "A Change Of Heart" where this fashion is featured.
Of course a perfect choice of fashion to include as a bonus, since they could re-use the
same hat. Plus it's a
really recognizable and popular look for her, the second most common one.
Even the boots fit this style.
In the cartoon, this outfit included yellow earrings and boots. Belt buckle is a
different shape.
Stars were bigger on the skirt, but if IT printed the skirt fabric especially for this
doll they sure went to alot of trouble to get this look right.

First let me tell you, incase you don't know what this doll is doing on this page. In my opinion, this doll is even
more Jem than the official IT Jem dolls are. I'd infact say it's even as much as exactly twice as much of Jem doll than
any of the official ones. Because this unofficial Jem doll is a Jem substitute doll for TWO completely
different reasons. An absolute must-have for any collector of the Jem line.
First of all, in the cartoon episode "Midsummer Night's Madness" by Evelyn A. R. Gabai. Jerrica
creates a third identity, called Jamie. And this is a very
nice substitute for collectors who never got an official Jamie.
IT has shown their awareness of Jamie's existance by including her in a poll in 2015, and when they
even released a doll with the similar name "Jaeme" (assumingly pronounced the same way)
for their Color Infusion line, which shares the same
body sculpt as their Jem line, shares a matching skin tone with Jamie, and with the same head sculpt as Jerrica,
to me that totally works as Jamie!
IT even gave Jaeme a Greek last name, which is interesting because the Jem character was supposed to be
Greek and was invented for the episode where they visited Greece. Then IT went
and released a second Jaeme (this one) which shares all of the above mentioned things, and even looks like a
match to Jamie in haircolor, eye color, skin tone, and the earrings seems like a close match.
This Jaeme even comes with a microphone in the same shape as the IT Jem line, and how many of
their dolls outside the Jem line comes with a mike?
Although, the outfit bares no resemblance at all, well only slightly colorwise, and it is a top and skirt.
And lipstick color doesn't match though.
And officially this is of course not Jamie.
Integrity Toys have shown their awareness of Jamie in their 2015 poll.
But not many Jem fans seemed to want an official doll of Jerrica's third identity, Jamie.
Jamie may be the least requested and least notable character of these almost-Jem-dolls, but Jaeme is
at the same time by far the doll among these
with the most things resembling its "lookalike" Jem character!
The second reason I consider her a Jem doll, is that this doll, the sculpt, haircolor and style, and even
the top, seems to be the doll that IT created as an official doll in their Jem line for the live-action movie.
Although they scrapped it when Hasbro told them to do so, because the live-action movie wasn't doing so well.
More about the movie resemblance soon!

Rio isn't exactly overrepresented in the IT Jem line. Two Rios up until this purplehaired doll, and another one in
2020. Compared to Jem's 16 dolls as of 2022. This is not officially Rio, but an IT doll with license from another
Hasbro line, My Little Pony. Infact a tribute to a specific pony called Rarity,
or rather inspired by MLP enthusiasts and fans. So this character is a "brony". IT actually made a
doll based on MLP fans, what an amazingly unusual idea. Very underestimated line, which I wish
would have gone on much longer.
Except for the Hasbro connection, he also has purple hair and the same body sculpt as Rio.
Name starts with an "R". And the outfit even resembles one Rio wears in the cartoon.
Whoever wanted another IT Rio could easily imagine this as a substitute. Atleast I couldn't unsee the
resemblance. And I found it nice to have a Rio with a brighter purple haircolor, well in the 2020
release he actually got a brighter purple color but not the same as this.
IT could have made a doll of any pony with any haircolor I guess, but I'm guessing they
hoped this could be a hint to Jem fans who wanted an alternative Rio. If you think it's too far-fetched
because he doesn't have the same sculpt, well neither does the 2020 Rio doll, and that worked our
perfectly as Rio.
I wish they would have given him purple eyebrows though. But since he is supposed to be a MLP fan, he
probably dyed his hair purple. But not even official IT Rio ever got purple eyebrows.
