Hopefully, it's just the price for this "Special Edition" doll. $65 is more like it. BUT --- I'm looking forward to having all of The Holograms and The Misfits. Something tells me it's going to be drama getting it. I hope not. I don't want to be punished for being part of the collector's market. But, I know what I like. Kind of obsessed right now. (Also, Terri, your site is one of the best out there. I'm always excited to hear about the newest and the best of the industry.

(It will be in keeping with the money I saved on Holly Go Lightly dolls, Poppy as Audrey dolls, "seasonal" Dynamite dolls and this year's 16 inch dolls - oh and also the Monograms. - You know all the dolls that are still sitting at the dealers due to being overpriced). The good news is Integrity is having a sale on many of those dolls. Maybe collectors who cannot afford Jem at $125 will get lucky later and they will go on sale :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-80943122190639302592012-06-29T22:27:01.603-04:002012-06-29T22:27:01.603-04:00I know that Alain has always been a Jem fan, so I ...I know that Alain has always been a Jem fan, so I am sure this was a blast for him...<br /><br />but I do agree, the price point seems very high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-38386308508783800302012-06-29T01:27:31.381-04:002012-06-29T01:27:31.381-04:00Just dawned on me....

I think it'll definitely be popular with those of us who grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. I must admit... the doll is truly outrageous. (I really can't stop making Jem references.

They easily carry off the 80s vibe!?<br /><br />It's a cool idea and all but even as a fan of the short lived show - I rather have one of the 'vintage' dolls to fix up and customize.<br /><br />(I wonder how long it will take before this sculpt ends up as another DG character or in the NuFace line??)<br /><br />;)ShootingStar Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037732032421420309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-70174933941939190932012-06-28T11:49:30.779-04:002012-06-28T11:49:30.779-04:00I agree 100%I agree 100%Terri Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252743227474930359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-67821928918102550082012-06-28T11:40:13.982-04:002012-06-28T11:40:13.982-04:00No offense, but I don't think this new doll is...No offense, but I don't think this new doll is aimed at older collectors.<br />It will probably be a huge it with the collectors in their 30's who grew up with the show.

I had the original Jem and she is an odd size (same body as Kenner Darci dolls). This is a chance for adult collectors to take their childhood love of Jem and translate it to their love of fashion dolls now! That looks like an FR2 body. IF that's true, then 125 wouldn't be totally out of line. The sculpt almost looks like Elise J. with a smile... Thanks for the news!

There's one like mine for ten dollars plus six dollars on Etsy right now: http://www.etsy.com/listing/92377660/vintage-jem-and-the-holograms-jerrica<br />She doesn't have any clothes, and since her feet are so big they might be hard to find, but it's certainly cheaper than 125 dollars.<br />And thank you for having such an awesome blog!Aubrey Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106752101508829876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-78457663203375090322012-06-27T20:08:29.309-04:002012-06-27T20:08:29.309-04:00Wow...I think.
