Jem & TheHolograms

For me personlly I LOVED this doll range. I was big into Madonna as a kid and so when a popstar doll came out I was hooked.

 

I remember the day I saw Jem. It was October 1986 and I was in our local Toy N Hobby (which was massive, it's now Iceland) I had checked the usual isles biding my time to get to the doll isle to check out Barbie & Sindy. I saw a whole shelf of Jem and my jaw dropped!

 

I spent ages trying to pick one with my Grandma as there where 10 girls to choose from. I narrowed it down to the lead Singer Jem or Pizzazz of the Misfits (Jems rival band) My Grandma liked Pizzazz best and she had a casette of music with her too.

 

The week after, I was desperate to get to town and my sister came too, Pam got Jem the movie on video and I got Jem we where hooked.

 

Pam still loved her Sindy's but everytime I could I would get a Jem doll until I had them all...

I think I am a little... ahem.. too old to really appreciate Jem but I did have a Darci collection which who was the basis for the Jem mold.

Yes, they used the Darci body mold quite closely. I have had a few Darci's myself in recent years but I sold them on sadly. I missed Darci when sh was originally out although I have a faint recollection of seeing her in a toy store as a kid.

It's a shame she wasn't around for very long. She was a quality doll.

Well I must admit I'll always be a kid when it comes to 80s dolls and toys. :D My next items on my wish list are a Shana doll and some Darcis. My fave Barbie series is Barbie and The Rockers so some Jem doll MUST be in my collection.

Slightly OTT, i have non on display now as this was before Sindy & Barbie kicked back in so April 07 I think. and I am very wary of sun damage. I also collected Winx at the time.

WOW now that is a collection!

I have started watching Jem on YouTube and am checking her out on eBay. I am worried that you may have started something ;)
