Hey Afaconados!
Who out there remembers Jem and the Holograms? I’m literally about to come out of my skin because I’m so excited that the Hasbro toy company has revived the 80’s cartoon sensation that is Jem!
In case you don’t know, Jem is a cartoon about a singer, the lead in a band called Jem and the Holograms that aired from 1985 to 1988 (read about the plot here). This was my FAVORITE cartoon as a kid and my sister and I had all of the dolls. I will never forget how we used to do what we called, “Playin Dolls”, and we would come up with the craziest storylines…with custom songs to match. My sister Michelle was like Deebo from “Friday” back then and she always insisted on being Jem.
Well now, I finally get to have my own Jem doll…but it will be as a collector’s item only. At a steep price of $125, these dolls are certainly not the type to be “Playin Dolls” with.
Here’s a glimpse at the new look:
Now that’s TRULY Outrageous!
Until next time!
