Jem and the Holograms: Truly Outrageous Comic Collection
The Encore Era
Kickstarter End
December 4, 2025
backerkit.com | kickstarter.com |
 |
Grey's Anatomy star and photographer Brad Everett Young was one of our own. Love him or hate him, he was the founder of “Jem’s Space” on myspace.com. He shared some great photography of Jem dolls, fashions, and prototypes. The information was not always correct, because his main source didn’t really have a connection to the Jem line. He is a devastating loss to the Jem community. |

Contemporary Doll Stars |
The most impressive and
informative article in my opinion.
It is a 16 page, two part article with 18 pictures.
Almost everything in this article seems to be right
on the money, except for the Character Sketches which
list all the characters from the show as dolls...a typo,
I believe. (I think Glen knew which ones were and were
not dolls, but somehow marked them all as dolls, and
it got missed in editing)
This article starts with Jem's beginning
and goes all the way through her end. Sources for this
article are the Licensing Book, interviews with Al Corosi
VP for Hasbro at that time, and others. |

| Highlights:
Corosi did say Jem started out as M, it was a male band
with a female lead singer, until Hasbro found out about
Barbie and the Rocker (females, only one male) which
Mattel was developing at the same time.
(the time-line for development of Jem, the cartoon series and the Barbie and the Rockers line, seem to make this a false statement.)
F.A.O. Schwarz played Jem videos in the stores.
Hollywood Jem Fashions where going to be developed like
Glitter'n Gold Fashions. (if original planned may have
be dropped later, closer to the end...nothing about
that Matchin' Medley Fashions in this article)
It does say Regine was going to have the same head mold
as Raya. (this does not seem correct since Regine had
a new face mold in the 1988
Pre-Toy Fair Catalog) And list Astral as having
black hair, maybe Hasbro change it to blue and purple
closer to the time the 1988 PTF Catalog was shot.
(Hollywood Walk of Fame Jem Star was developed as a cardboard accessories for the doll, proving that this "basic" Hollywood Jem was a developed doll for the 1988)
(Missing is the 1988 high end doll, named Ruby Red Jem and the "scented" Hollywood Jem doll) |
