This was sadly the last year of the Integrity Toys doll line, as far as anyone knew at the time. Until the 35th anniversary comeback in 2020. We Jem fans had gotten so many of our Jem doll dreams come true, and many completists had a hard time keeping up with affording this high quality line. Integrity Toys had promised Jem fans four last releases this year, and they turned out to be Zipper x2, bride Kimber, a studio playset, and Sophisticated Lady Jem/Jerrica. But Jem fans had also been asking for another release of Aja and Shana, aswell as Jem in the last outfit she was seen in the cartoon, so Integrity Toys announced they would do one last extra release of these things. All in all, fewer dolls/heads/fashions were released this year than previous years, only 2012 had less releases. New this year was one new character, Zipper, which for the first time in the line was available in two different haircolors. A new haircolor for Jem that looks more like the pink we recognize from the 80's line and cartoon. And a new kind of hook and eye closures that are smaller and debuted on This Is Farewell Jem and was then used in the revivial of the line in 2020 and from then on. By now, this line had lasted more years than the original Hasbro line, included more characters, more releases of Jem herself, and of course in higher quality. On the other hand, it included a smaller amount of fashions and less playsets (depending on whether you call some of the playset-like boxes actual playsets). Of course there were still many wants left, fashions and characters from both the original doll line and especially from the cartoon. And some of the things Jem fans still wished for, was a Synergy playset in her computer form, some more characters, and a bunch of more fashion looks from the cartoon and 80's doll line. What we did get, sold in hundreds of each release! So this line was definitely successful, especially considering this is 30+ years after the original line and considering the prices of these high quality dolls, and also considering you needed to be paying W Club member to purchase several of these dolls. I have no idea what this would translate to for a playline publicly available in toystores across the world, but the Jem characters evidentally generate alot of sales in all doll forms, regardless of price and availability. And Jem fans certainly hoped for a continuation of the Integrity Toys line in the future.
Off-site information about these dolls:
Before Zipper was released, some Jem collectors saw the 2015 IT Color Infusion fashion
"Wild One" as Zipper's, and thought Zipper himself would never appear. Then some Graphix
dolls were shipped by mistake with a Zipper box, which was big hint.
And IT gave us some official clues even:
"No one will get arrested because if the next character gets too hands on, usually things get a
little "explosive"... ".
This bad guy created for the cartoon by Christy Marx already for the fist episode "The Beginning"
had been among the top most requested characters
at this point. Even more than Howard Sands, Jacqui Benton, or Jeff Wright.
Great to see it really happened, and with two hair colors even.
What a clever way to comment on the fact that Zipper got another haircolor after the
first five episodes, in IT's description, although his change of haircolor was most
likely a blooper in the cartoon.
IT created a brand new head sculpt for Zipper! Unexpected this far into the line and for a male character.
I guess IT wanted to do this badguy justice. And they knew what they were doing, he looks tough!
Infact it's so detailed you can even see slight wrinkles in his forehead.
This head sculpt was later re-used on a character in another line byt IT, Paolo Marino, and I've heard that the
sculpts have slight differences in the wrinkles on the forehead.
This was the last new head sculpt IT introduced in the Jem line, since later releases has seen no new characters,
but re-used sculpts for previously released characters.
His outfit looks great, that's Zipper!
The material of the jacket, feels and looks so much like real leather.
He even has his logo on the back of the jacket.
But there are some differences.
Jacket is a whole other design almost, with pockets, no "waistbelt"
at bottom, it looks more slim, and has no studs/spikes on the shoulders.
Perhaps to appeal to none-Jem collectors aswell.
In the IT promotional pictures, Zipper is only seen with a closed jacket in all
pictures, although he never closed the jacket in the cartoon.
Great detail with the back pockets on
the pants. Zipper's shirt was light gray in the cartoon though, rather than white.
Zipper had brown shoes with his main outfit. But the black shoes matched his burglar outfit better and looks
good with his leather jacket aswell.
The second outfit fits his badguy image, and was the second most worn by him in the
cartoon, and he even got the ropes included here. Logical characteristic choice for Zipper,
Although it's alot brighter in color in the cartoon, and it had no belly pocket.
And the rope was brown.
And Zipper had more colorful outfits, like the one in "Hot Time In Hawaii".
Zipper sold out faster than probably any other Jem doll ever!
It was quite a statement from cartoon fans, who had not gotten anywhere near as many wishes
come true as the doll fans had. Zipper was only the 8th cartoon-based doll released for this line
of 58 dolls in total!
Some wondered if IT hereby used as much as two of the last
announced spots of this line, by making two Zippers of different haircolors. But it turned out IT
counted this officially as one release.
Some fans even asked for a third haircolor, red, which was based on a mistake due to some messed up Rhino DVD
releases that changed the colors. Integrity Toys definitely choose the correct haircolors for Zipper.
Although, he had brown eyes with his blonde hair in the cartoon, rather than the blue on this doll, but
we can't ask them to even print two different faces for that detail alone.
This and the blackhaired Zipper, is definitely the rarest of all dolls in this line, with the
blackhaired being much harder to come by. Partly because of the low editions of each haircolor,
but even non-Jem collectors of Integrity Toys are very fond of the look of Zipper's headsculpt.

Read the description and contents of the blonde Zipper doll, same things go here mostly,
since they share everything except for the haircolor and a letter in the product number.
I prefer Zipper as blonde, but I prefer the outcome of this doll because this
headsculpt looks better to me with black hair.
Apparently many agreed and bought a blackhaired Zipper.
What could be better about getting Zipper, than getting two versions of him at once?
Well, maybe some IT collectors would have preferred the blackhaired head included with the
quick switch feature. But personally I always prefer it like this, when each doll gets their
own body. And for those who didn't want two dolls/heads, this gave us the option to only
pay for the one we wanted.
This blackhaired look is how Zipper looked after the first five episode,
when Zipper appeared in five episodes with black hair.
This doll has the correct blue eyes that Zipper got once he switched haircolor.
And he only ever wore the extra outfit with the hoodie when his haircolor had changed to black.

What a spectacular release for the Jem line, going in a completely different
direction after all rockstar outfits, and they
really put alot of effort into this big dress to give us that glamorous fairytale wedding feeling.
Hairstyle looks very familar, but Kimber has a slightly different hairstyle in the cartoon with no sidehair hanging down.
To get that hairdo from the cartoon, this doll actually got
slightly less hair than the other Kimber releases. So I suggest keeping it
in it's original hairdo, especially since its hair is cut in a certain way to fit this hairdo.
Although many wanted Kimber in this outfit, by now we
had already gotten two previous Kimber dolls (plus an extra head), but only one of Aja, Shana,
and Raya. But later this same year, IT released another Aja and Shana with
their Glitter 'n Gold fashions.
I, for one, don't think there were too many Kimbers, since there were countless more releases
of Jem herself, and Kimber is a very popular character.
This doll came in a quite large box to fit the wedding dress.
Wedding dresses is like a department of their own, unrelated to the music themed outfits
in this cartoon. It was an iconic cartoon look for many fans, from a fanfavorite two-parter "Hollywood Jem" episodes.
A look rumored to have been planned as a release
for Kimber already in the 80's line. Even though IT changed the design of the dress somewhat from what
we can see in the cartoon.
This doll is kind of a match with both the already released Jeff (Ollie) doll, Sean, and
even has a connection to the Award Night Jem doll whose outfit first appeared in the same episode.
Well even the first ever IT Jem doll look, Hollywood Jem, is very featured in the same two-parter.
This is the first Kimber without stagemakeup, which looks very good on her and it's almost
surprising they didn't already give her this makeup for one of her previous releases. And this is also
the first Kimber to have the Japan skin tone, while all the previous ones were FR White.
The likeness to the cartoon version is obvious, and they even took notice of many
specific details, even if some of them ended up being shaped slightly
differently. The leaves on the roses are missing on the doll. The veil is much shorter
than in the cartoon.
This doll didn't get the garter (and nothing blue infact) as seen in
the cartoon. And no wedding ring. Which was a unfortunate because it was made a big deal of in the
cartoon story and even song. Maybe an official Jeff or a wedding Sean was once planned, would have
included a ring.
For probably the first time in this line, pictures leaked of a doll in its package and everything, as a seller
posted it on ebay for 350$ and with as much as 11
pictures. Jem fans didn't know if it was real or not. The seller was in Rhode Island, and is a
woman who has said to be a former
Hasbro employee. My guess is that Hasbro was given some dolls when they were just produced by IT,
and a doll ended up with a person who wanted to sell them, with no bad intentions of revealing
anything in advance.
However, this same seller also sold other IT Jem dolls, although I don't think they were leaked before
their release. Like a Lindsey, Zipper (blond), Graphix, Raya, 4 Rock 'N Royalty Riot, 3 Designing
Woman Pizzazz, 6 Bands Break
Up Kimber, 2 Bands Break Up Stormer, Shana, 2 Danse, 2 Sean, Twilight In Paris Jem/Jerrica, and
Regine. So I think it's safe to say IT shipped atleast 6 of each doll to Hasbro for approval/gift
before officially anouncing them to the public.

For this Jem look, many fans were pretty certain it would be either this or
the 1986 doll fashion Up & Rockin' (which instead was released in 2020).
Unlike the IT releases "Twilight In Paris" and "Who Is He Kissing", this set has the
original Hasbro fashion name. I guess "Jealousy" would be the only other option, since
it was very featured in that music video.
For the very first time in this line, IT changes the haircolor of Jem to actual pink
instead of the previous slight pink/peach tone. I'm the only one who has ever mentioned the
haircolor tone of the Jem dolls as far as I can find. It was not a big deal, but IT is the kind of company
that puts effort into adjusting things to perfection in each release. Although
they never made a big deal about announcing the update, and
I hadn't even realized this change from the promotional pictures,
until I opened my doll box.
Not only that, the hair is a different type of material, probably
nylon rather than the previous saran. This particular color is called "kitten pink".
Now Jem fans definitely prefer this haircolor. It looks amazing, although still a few shades darker
than in the 80's. But a whiter tone might appear too white.
And they made Jem's hair full like in the cartoon, but a little bit curled.
In a way, this is the ultimate Jem IT doll, with a nice combination of a known Jem
fashion, well made, great recognizable makeup (brown eyebrows instead of black or blue though),
and full hair in a very recognizable color.
This classy 80's businesswoman look started out as a 1986 FlipSide fashion from the 80's doll line,
with a look for both Jem and Jerrica. In the cartoon it first appeared in the episode "Frame Up".
Obviously not similar in color to the 80's doll fashion, since IT luckily went with the cartoon look.
The embroidery on the collar and lapels of the jacket is a new thing, and a stunning detail!
Although quite different from the cartoon colors, as those areas had a darker purple color
in the cartoon rather than the reddish color it gets here.
That top under the jacket was not in the cartoon, a nice extra though.
The 80's doll has sandals instead of pumps, and IT added a nice looking bowtie on the back of the shoes,
which I can't recall from the cartoon.
They actually did the necklace especially for this design, which I really
appreciate. It also resembles the necklace in shape that came with the 80's doll fashion,
but on the other hand that shape wasn't specific for only this Hasbro fashion.
Maybe they found the look of the cartoon necklace from this site,
since it's the only site that pictures it, and same thing with the purse which Jem seldom carried.
It doesn't come with any glasses like the 80's doll, but then again they weren't included in the cartoon.
IT must have looked at the model cels of these fashions, because they
photographed their dolls in very similar poses.
Perhaps they referred to this site, since both model cels were available here.
And as for one of the other poses IT did for the Jem doll, where Jem is holding up her hands,
that must be based on a certain scene in the cartoon.
IT had a limit of only one set to be purchased by each W Club member the first day.
Although, this set of dolls was posted for sale on ebay before it was for sale for W Club
members, by someone who got ahold of one probably through Hasbro.
In time for this release, we had been told it was the very last release of IT in their Jem line,
but they did reveal before they started selling this set that they had some more suprises
coming up. Had they not informed us in time, I bet this set would had sold out crazy fast, but
it's a very honest thing to do to share that info with us in advance.

This doll was released in a set with the above Jem doll.
Like the Jem doll, Jerrica gets another haircolor, slightly more yellow. Which is nice for variation.
And I think I like this Jerrica's hair the best of all though, it looks so full.
This is the fourth Jerrica doll of IT, if you count the head included with
Twilight In Paris Jem.
And the first Jerrica doll for two years! And first ever with a smiling head sculpt, which is
actually Jem's main head sculpt, which many fans wanted for Jerrica for completion since Jem had
already been released in both her own and Jerrica's face sculpt.
This fashion was introduced in the episode "In Stitches", although it was created and ready to be introduced
already in "Starbright Part 2: Colliding Stars", where it never made it.
But why this fashion for Jerrica? Apparently since it goes well with the style and
colors of the Jem fashion. And both of these outfits were worn in the same scene in the episode "In Stitches",
so I guess IT saw a match there. Especially since this is the outfit Jerrica is wearing underneath the Jem outfit
when the hologram temporarily disappears on the airplane.
Seems to be a favorite episode of the Jem doll designers of Integrity Toys, since they released as much as
seven fashions for their line from this episode, and that's on top of the original doll outfits.
Or does IT know something we don't about this fashion? Was it an original Hasbro plan?
The original look of Jerrica's part of the 80's doll fashion? Jerrica does have a hat with this fashion after all,
which she did in the 80's line to cover the pink hair, and she rarely wore a hat in the cartoon with
cartoon-only fashions.
It's a very nice look for Jerrica either way. And it feels like a very full outfit.
It's easy to see it's the same fashion as in the cartoon though, very recognizable shapes and colors,
although many Jem fans are probably not very
familiar with this look. The pink is perhaps a slightly different tone.
The IT hat looks slightly bigger. The collar looks fuller on the doll.
The IT skirt could had been a tiny bit longer.
Biggest difference is the shape of the shoes. And IT made the bracelet more detailed.
But it turned out great!

This is the last we ever see Jem wear in the cartoon. Not the last fashion introduced, but what she wears when she waves
good bye to Ba Nee (which is actually to us viewers according to Christy Marx) in the very last episode.
This outfit is even the most worn fashion in the entire cartoon (except for her main pink outfit) although it appeared
about halfway through the cartoon, and is perhaps still not one of the most recognizable.
But the choice of fashion from this iconic last sight of Jem, and the name chosen by Integrity Toys is an example of IT's
big hearts for Jem. And it was an extra doll IT made for us fans, to end the line with a farewell doll, instead of
Sophisticated Lady which was meant to be the last Jem.
This look never made it into the 80's doll line, while there are
rumors of such plans, and some prototype pictures that perhaps depict this fashion, although it's hard to see.
This Jem has the same haircolor as Sophisticated Lady Jem, and then when IT restarted the line in 2020 they changed the
hairtype and color again, so there were only two ever Jem dolls with this hair type. Unlike Sophisticated Lady, this
Jem has the open smile head sculpt. Nice idea of IT to end the line with a smiling Jem doll, although in the cartoon
the last we saw of Jem she had her mouth closed.
She doesn't have alot of makeup, but some dark makeup above the eyes that
we haven't seen before on an IT Jem doll, but which kinda matches the two different tones of purple/lightblue eye-makeup
she wears in the cartoon in different episodes. Nice with a blue outfit among all the pink and purple.
Her accessories are packaged like the very first IT Jem doll, Hollywood Jem, perhaps an homage.
It bares very good resemblance to the cartoon, and nice to see IT made the yellow parts of the fashion golden. Infact
they picked up on so many details it's amazing. Maybe the shoes are a slight tone darker in the cartoon though, but IT's
color was a great update.
Like with Glitter 'n Gold Aja and Shana, IT didn't send out any promotional pictures of prototypes, so no one
knew exactly what these dolls would look like when paying the advance deposit. Of course we all knew the outcome would
look great.

Finally a second Aja by Integrity Toys, something fans had been looking forward to.
This doll has a very different haircolor than the first IT Aja doll. This haircolor is lightblue,
and in comparison it makes the first IT Aja's hair look turquoise. And the hairband is IT's invention.
Her makeup became slighlty less apparent on the eyebrows and eyemakeup, and lips are now more
pink than peach.
Happily this outfit turned out to have pink colors, unlike the art used in the IT promotion
pics which incorrectly looks almost red.
I would have preferred Aja's last outfit to be "She Makes An Impression" from the 80's
doll line (which IT later released in their 35th Jem anniversary comeback), or
A-5 you know
the white and red one which she wears more than any other in the cartoon (except for
her main outfit). But some fans prefer outfits they can match with existing
IT doll releases to pose on shelves, and this is part of the cartoon sets created to match
Glitter 'n Gold Jem.
Good idea of IT to include a bonus outfit, Glitter 'n Gold for Kimber, to even up the releases of the
characters since so many Kimbers were already released. Although the earrings Kimber wore in the cartoon
looked more like hoops.
This doll only comes with one set of hands, and so does the Glitter 'n Gold
Shana, which is a first for this line.

Time for a second Shana, to catch up with the amount of Kimbers.
The doll itself is not all too similar to the first one, which is nice for variation.
This doll has a much darker lavender haircolor than the previous Shana doll by IT. She now has a golden
makeup with actual golden glitter overthe eyes, less apparent makeup on the cheeks, and just slighlty brighter
red makeup.
Some Jem fans wanted this outfit in particular, to match with the Glitter 'n Gold Jem.
And IT made it look magical, and gave it the same shimmering kind of fabric as the GNG Jem.
Nice to have a second outfit included aswell, from the same set of fashions,
for Raya (although her last name is misspelt with a
"Z" instead of an "S" in the official description). In the cartoon Raya's top and skirt matched more in color,
but the IT version looks even better.
This doll, just like the GNG Aja, only came with one set of hands, and are the only two dolls in the entire line
that only comes with one pair of hands.
This, and the other two dolls announced at the same time, were the last IT ever released,
as far as we knew at the time, and all three were the first that ever required a deposit to be
paid before we saw any prototype of the dolls. And the number of dolls manufactured was
based directly on the number of pre-orders that they received.

Another slightly older lady from the Jem cartoon, from an episode by Christy Marx and Ellen Guon. This is not
actually Lexa, but close enough for me with the black and white hair, red lipstick, blue eyes, similar purple outfit,
and since she is
supposed to be a badguy like Lexa. Lexa is a member of the royal family of Morvania in the cartoon, and partly
seen in the Misfits music video "Queen of Rock and Roll".
Perhaps more famous from this episode is Kimber's royal lookalike Adriana, whom is something of a fanfavorite,
although it's not really likely that IT would release an exact Kimber lookalike with a less known outfit
compared to Kimber's own outfits.
There are a few male characters I'd expect before IT would intentionally release Lexa or even a Lexa-substitute.
But obviously IT prefers female characters, and perhaps secondary characters like Mrs. Bailey and Joanie Stuart aren't as
appealing as Lexa. So in a way, Lexa is the most likely at this point.
Another possible inspiration is Lady Tremaine, the wicked Stepmother from Cinderella. Or a number of other
Disney badguys. But Constance looks more like Lexa than she looks like any of those.
A very cool looking doll, and I really like that IT added the white in her hair.
Unfortunately this doll can't share shoes with the IT Jem line though, since it has smaller feet.
