was working on.
Who is He/She Craig Phillips?
Where could this
bizzar He/She doll come from?
In the episodes
"The Talent Search" part 1 and 2, Shana left Jem and
the Holograms to be a designer. So to replace Shana,
Jem held a contest and the winner would be the new drummer...the
two finalists: where Raya and Craig Phillips.
So the rumor is that there was a Craig Phillips doll
planned for sale, along with Raya. The sales of the
dolls would dictate who became the new drummer.
Personally, I don't know if Hasbro would have planned
for the Holograms to be without a drummer for a year
so that they could find out which doll was the better
seller. Even if they did sell the dolls for 3 months
to find out which doll was selling better; it would
have taken another few months to get the episode out
saying which doll was the winner. It would be a really
cool way to sell dolls though.
Plus it be very odd for Hasbro to release a doll with
a "real" name. A Craig Phillips doll would
be the only doll with a full name from Hasbro.
Craig
Phillips w/the superstar doll with female body
After the
Jem line was stopped, Hasbro's factory throw the extra
doll parts together. So when they ran out of male bodies
the used female bodies.
He is thought to be Craig Phillips, but he may not
be. The story of him being Craig is from Hasbro (but
not Officially stated). Craig was developed for the
show. Most of the dolls where made, then shown to the
writers so that a character could be worked into the
show. Other characters from the show where not
planned for a doll release. The idea for the Craig may
have been told to Hasbro at the time when that show
was being written. So they may have tried to develop
the Craig doll.
If it is Craig: his hair would have been cut shorter
before the doll was sold. If Craig, he would have been
put out in 1987, same time Raya came out. But when Hasbro
decided on which dolls to come out for 1988, he was
not one of them.
