Rumor: Hasbro revealed
prototypes of dolls to Investors during the Fall 2009
Investor Day -- for the new cartoon.
Jem was not mentioned during the web cast portion.
Hasbro stated some titles were not going to be talked
about to prevent competition, but the investors would
see them in development during the work through of
Hasbro.
Hasbro
was developing a New JEM line. The project was canceled
(I would assume for the Pussycat Dolls dolls, 2006 -
which was also canceled) There was rumored that Hasbro
is still planning for a 2007-2008. But that seems to
be just a rumor, it sounds like Jem is not in development
at the moment.
There was no sign of Jem at the 2007
Toy Fair. So more then likely Jem will not be back for
2007. But Hasbro is still updating the trademarks, for
dolls, books, etc. With any luck, we well see something
by 2011 for Jem's 25th Anniversary.

From
1987 to 1996 Hasbro had the distributing rights for the
popular European doll Sindy. Like the US Maxie doll, Sindy
also had borrowed maybe accessories and fabrics from the
Jem line. Hasbro acquired the rights to European rights
to Sindy, and was not able to distribute her in the US.
This lead to Hasbro development of Maxie. Maxie was a
US copy of Sindy, and ever shared some of the same fashions
and bodies. With the except of Rockin' Pretty Maxie, most
of the 1988 unproduced Maxie dolls end up being sold with
a Sindy version.
"Smash Hits" Sindy 1989
and "Rock Star" Paul? year? (missing shoes, her necklace and
earrings, and mic stand)
These dolls seem very Jem and/or very Stingers.
Paul's guitar is the same mold as Jem's "Rock'n
Roses" Music is Magic Fashion
1987 Match
'n' Set City Girl Sindy
This doll
comes with a fashion, very similar to Jem's 1986 "Rock
Country." This comes with a jacket, and a hat patterned
off of Jem/Jerrica's blue striped Jerrica hat.

1987-1988
Super Star Sindy
This doll
came with a"Glitter'n Gold" mic, gold Jem
hoop earrings, pink and gold Jem zigzag bracelets, and
had gold a blue Mylar Streamers in her hair. The fabric
of her pink top is very similar to, if not the same
as, "Gettin' Down to Business"
She also came with 4 fashions -- I'm not sure if the
fashions were available 1987 but were in 1988. The four
fashions are "Blue Haze," "Crimson Pearl,"
"Fizzy Pink," & "Golden Light."
Jem has a fashion called "Purple Haze."
Fizzy Pink has the same fabric used on 2nd issue
Aja's skirt, the silver sleeves are seen in many Jem
designs, and over all feels like an Hasbro Ashley
fashion.
Golden Light has a hood less version of Jem's "24
Caret Sound" and body suit similar to Jem's "
Like A Dream"

1989 Smash
Hit Sindy
Like Super
Star Sindy, Smash Hit Sindy comes with a "Glitter'n
Gold" mic and Mylar streamers in her hair. Her necklace
is similar to the one that would have come with Rockin'
Romance Jem 1988, but Sindy's has a rose on it. Hasbro
did not release a Jem fashion like this one, but something
about it seems very similar to fashions on the Jem show.
1991 Pop Star
Sindy
This Sindy
comes with a mic like Jem's but it now has a piece so
it can be clipped onto the hand. This dolls also had neon
green streaks in hair.
1993 Wild
Hair Sindy
These dolls
have bright colored hair extensions and the fashions seem
very Jem/Misfit in design.
1994 Super
Sindy
This dual
personality doll seems very Jem/Jerrica. Comes with a
Jerrica type top, and pink hair like a Jem/Jerrica doll.
The eye color is also very similar to Flash'n Sizzle Jem/Jerrica.
1995 Popstar
Sindy, Imani and ???
These is a
set of rock stars are very contemporary for the time,
with head mics, etc. Nothing really Jem about them --
but if Jem had last until 1995, I'm sure a pop Jem would
have been similar to these dolls. s
