30th Anniversary "Showtime" Jem Exclusive to ShopBop & More Jem Swag
After some wild speculation, we finally have photos of the ShopBop exclusive Jem. Showtime Jem is basically a Classic Jem with the color variations seen on the cartoon. The price is pretty reasonable and I think this is a nice way to give people another chance at the iconic look for Jem while still keeping the original Classic Jem special. The edition size is very worrisome though. I think they could have done 750 at least. I know there are many collectors that missed the first version of her and yet more still that would like this color variation. Shopbop has limited it to two per customer and these could very well sell out in a hurry. I still have not decided to try for her or not. I would love to get the outfit variation but it is not really necessary. I was even considering selling my Classic Jem recently...hmmmm. Decisions. Maybe if I do get this one, then I would sell Classic Jem.
The non-smiling Jerrica face is a nice touch. The original Hasbro Jem was similarly non-smiling. The grumpy Jem sculpt was replaced with a toothy grinned Jem for subsequent releases. Now if we can get a Jerrica with the smiling Jem mold...that would be swell. We still have the W Club Jem doll to come this year. I am guessing it will be the long awaited Eric Raymond doll. I keep hoping it will be a two doll set with Eric and Jerrica as his assistant in her adorable sweater vest outfit.
I am less concerned about getting this doll as I am about getting some of the other Jem swag. I am hoping for some new fun shirts and maybe a bag or coffee mug.
