Hasbro’s Cult Classic ‘80s Characters Ready to Rock a New Generation of Fans with Major Motion Picture Event and Special-Edition JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS Collections from Leading Names in Style, Beauty and More
JEM_LOGO-01PAWTUCKET, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s #TrulyOutrageous! Thirty years after the iconic brand’s debut, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is introducing its best-loved animated pop stars, JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, to a new audience in 2015. Incorporating all the glamour, glitter, fashion, and fame of the classic 1980s series, the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS brand will release this October a feature film adaptation and dynamic global lifestyle licensing program spanning toys, publishing, fashion, and beauty products.
Opening nationwide on October 23, Universal Pictures’ live-action, motion-picture adaptation of iconic JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS reimagined for a whole new generation. In JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, four aspiring musicians will take the world by storm when they see that the key to creating your own identity lies in finding your own voice. The film is produced by Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures Banner, Blumhouse Productions, Scooter Braun Productions, directed by Jon M. Chu, and stars Aubrey Peeples.
“Along with the fun fashion and awesome music, the notion of being true to yourself has always been the heart of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS story, and that theme is just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago,” said Simon Waters, General Manager, SVP of Entertainment and Licensing, Hasbro. “Combining the nostalgic pop culture appeal of the brand with a modern vision of JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, we’re thrilled to introduce this brand to a new audience around the world and tell a fresh story that will resonate with fans of all ages.”
In conjunction with the film release, Hasbro has teamed up with industry leaders to create exclusive, special-edition themed collections that will appeal to both new and longtime JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS fans. Taking direct inspiration from the brand’s legacy makeup and fashions, as well as its rich storylines and colorful cast of characters, the licensing program includes:
  • Sephora + JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS Collection: A special-edition, high performance cosmetic collection captures the legacy of the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS brand in a playful, four-piece set – eye shadow palette, liquid lip set, florescent lipstick, and compact mirror – that’s reminiscent of the 1980s animated series, known as much for its outrageously cool look as for its music.
  • Shopbop: An exclusive collection of apparel, accessories and jewelry features a modern take on the glitter and glam that defined JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS and its ‘80s rock sensibility. A special-edition JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS legacy doll rounds out the fun and flashy assortment.
  • Manic Panic: Four bold, semi-permanent hair dyes inspired by each member of the JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS band, which will pay homage to the distinctive hair colors that each character donned.
  • Integrity Toys: The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS legacy collection expands to include an all new cast of premium, collectible dolls, featuring fresh new JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS fashion dolls and fan favorite characters like director Anthony Julian and drummer Craig Phillips, and more. Each character in the collection sports superior engineering, high-end aesthetics, and ultra-detailed clothing and accessories.
  • IDW Publishing: The ongoing comic series introduces the beloved JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS characters as 21st century stars, bringing a colorful world full of fashion, glamour, action, and style to life through modern storylines and stylized artwork.
The animated JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS series ran from 1985-1988 in first-run syndication and still boasts a loyal and vocal fan base. The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into a rock star. Teaming with her sister and best friends who form JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, they set out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés The Misfits.

Integrity Toys 2023 Year in Review

Image
  The 2023 Club year was a bit of a sloppy drunk.  Let's call her Sheila. Sheila is generally good fun, but occasionally she takes FOREVER, says the wrong thing, over-serves herself, and then spends a lot of time apologizing. Get a hold of yourself, Sheila! Here is a photo showing what I ordered from this year (though it is missing the Wildflower Misaki doll which I did order. This is easily the least amount of stuff I have ordered in a club year. I really liked all of the True Industry line up but was trying to be good. I already have versions that I love of all of those characters and don't want to repeat sculpts with them. I did not have a Jasper or an Auden though and I liked them both enough to enter in the lottery. I got Auden but not Jasper sadly (hoping I will find a takeover later). At the slightly reduced club pricing, the sticker shock of the new high prices was not as bad for what is basically the same Dynamite Girls dolls we used to get for like $60 back in t...

Yes. I'm alive...Here is a long overdue dolly update

Image
Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have blogged.  I have been working my fanny off at my new day job (professor at UW-Madison) and had little time for anything else. And, I have to say bluntly, I have been feeling a whole lot less enthusiastic about a lot of things lately, but dolls especially.  Don't get me wrong, I still love them and have still bought more than a few over the last year. But I have only managed to unbox a few of my purchases in the last year...so I've got a big pile up waiting for me. I finally have a bit of time off and I am hoping to spend some more time with the collection. Also, I want to do some serious purging.  I am registered for the 2024 convention and planning to do room sales. So I am considering bringing a serious checked bagged filled with dolls. I think pairing down will let me focus and enjoy what I actually have more. So planning a brutal "no mercy" purge. But there are always lows and highs with a hobby right? Of the dolls released i...

IT Dolly Days East 59th La Femme Godiva Collection with New Characters!

Image
  Well another gorgeous set of dolls from designer Christ Stoeckel. He and Mark Tinkey are definitely favs at the moment. The clothing here is lovely and highly detailed. We are getting two new characters which seem to be using some older sculpts.  I like them and I don't mind some stylization...but they do seem a touch out of step with the screening on Evelyn which seems more realistic.  I tried for Cora in the lottery and lost out.  I am hoping to jump on the wait list and maybe get lucky though. I am a big Mugler fan and this fashion on Cora is definitely a reference to a Mugler look as well as to Jerry Hall's locks (also a Mugler model). I missed out on preordering the rest of the ladies from the dealers.  I would really like to get Evelyn's outfit at some point.  I will be patient.
