Great news for Jem and the Holograms fans!!!!!!!!!!

[beck]

I was quite shocked when I got word of this. I'm so excited about it too, I haven't seen this show since, well, the late 80's before they took it off tv. The only time I got the chance to see the show was while I was waiting for the bus. I only got to watch at least 15mins of it before the bus came so half the time I never saw the endings of the eps. It was rare if I was able to catch an ending or two of the show. I think its great how they are offering it as a 4 disc set.

Here is the link that has all the news about it::

I thought I saw someone mention it awhile back but couldn't remember who or where. Yeah it is about time they re-released the damn show, I thought that it would've been forever lost in a vault collecting dust. Shame for me though cause by the time I wanted to start getting the dolls, anything regarding Jem was so hard to find. I still have my Jem, Aja, and Misfit Roxy dolls. All the cool stuff that they had on those Jem posters that came with the dolls or the commericals were so awesome. Was too poor and too late to collect much but the little neighbor girl had just about everything she wanted >___< and treated her dolls like trash.

I still have the cassettes that came with the dolls too and they still play good. IF they bring back anything regarding the fade, I really hope they don't change a damn thing with the old Jem style or I'll be pissed. I'm not happy over the new change to Strawberry Shortcake, the Care Bears are about the same, MLP got uglier, and I'm not overly pleased with the new Rainbow Brite stuff now either. *sigh* nothing like the good ole days.

I can't stand the new trendy, slimmed down Strawberry Shortcake with her cell phone either and all these "new" versions of Care Bears...I do not recall a "Harmony Bear" and whatnot...and it seems like they're cashing in on recent events/sentiments as evidenced with the white care bear with the American flag in a star or something.

SADLY, my sister ( a Jem cartoon fangirl as well) did some research and it's said that Hasbro will not be resurrecting the Jem doll, stating the collection was their biggest flop ever in their doll history! What?!?!?! So why is it that you and I and so many others thought they were fucking great? And I know we're not wrong ;)
All my Jem stuff is gone :(
When I was 13, my dad took all our dolls and donated them somewhere when we moved. Damn orphans, what the Hell do they know about Jem? I am still bitter >_<
Heh.

I agree with you. I would have never thought that the Jem dolls were a flop. It seems like I and all the other little girls at the time wanted those.

Heh.

*LOL* I can feel the bitterness coming through my monitor. But I can understand where you're coming from.

When I was in kindergarten we had show and tell and I brought my Jem doll. It was still pristine and everything even though I had it for a while. Some other girls brought their Jem dolls and they were all messed up. Some of them cut the pink hair out so the doll would look more like Jericha. Their dolls' earrings didn't light up any more. Why did one of those little bitches steal my doll? I was traumatized. Still am really.

Stupid little bitches! there's a reason why there was a berrett to match Jerrica's dress, so that they can toss up all the pink hair underneath!
I feel your pain! I think at this rate, we should form a support group! lol

I always had a hard time getting her damn pink hair up in that berrett. I can't remember what it was that I did to make it hold. My Jem doll's earrings still work but I'm afraid to keep the battery in too long in case it would corrode. Hell, its the original battery too!

UGH! I didn't get the chance to look that hard at them, just once I saw them on the shelf, I walked away in disgust.

and it seems like they're cashing in on recent events/sentiments as evidenced with the white care bear with the American flag in a star or something.

Oh god, how pitiful!

Well I guess in a way its a good thing they won't bring them back. Having it that way, makes the original all more the worth while. Lord knows what they WOULD look like in this day in age O__O. I know I would read up on this Jem website about the yrs of production for the dolls and why they quit. I was like "how could they be a flop dumbasses!!!!!!!!!" I do wish that they would come out with a cd that had all the songs on it. Lord knows how much longer my cassettes will hold out w/out the tape getting old and rotten.

I too would still be bitter. If my mom would've done that with ANY of my childhood collections, I'd be in a rage! Now its just that mom can't WAIT till I take all my toys back to TX with me. I would like to as well but we'd probably have to rent a small trailer to hook to the truck in order to haul everything back.
