Magazines Articles w/JEM

"DollStars," Spring 1986, page 10 ©1986 (?)		I do not have these magazine yet. What is interesting the Spring article lists Jem as having 2 male dolls in 1986, along with the 7 females. More info available on Pranceatron Vs. Jem under 3rd year dolls.
"DollStars," Summer 1986, page 9 ©1986 (?)
"DollStars," Fall 1986, pages 19-21 ©1986 (?)

"DOLLS - The Collector's Magazine," January/February 1987, page 62 ©1987 Collector Communications, NY (?) "Fresh Faces "

	This pictures is the very same picture as the Holograms picture on the 1986 Jem poster, but more! The poster's picture is cut off to the left of Shana. If you look close at the Jem post you can see Rio's shadow on the curtain.

Doll Reader April 1989	Doll Reader May 1989		Contemporary Doll Stars
The most impressive and informative article in my opinion. It is a 16 page, two part article with 18 pictures. Almost everything in this article seems to be right on the money, except for the Character Sketches which list all the characters from the show as dolls...a typo, I believe. (I think Glen knew which ones were and were not dolls, but somehow marked them all as dolls, and it got missed in editing) This article starts with Jem's beginning and goes all the way through her end. Sources for this article are the Licensing Book, interviews with Al Corosi VP for Hasbro at that time, and others.
"Jem - Beautiful or Outrageous" part 1- Doll Reader April 1989


"Jem - Beautiful or Outrageous" part 2 - Doll Reader May 1989


Highlights: Corosi did say Jem started out as M, it was a male band with a female lead singer, until Hasbro found out about Barbie and the Rocker (females, only one male) which Mattel was developing at the same time. F.A.O. Schwarz played Jem videos in the stores. Hollywood Jem Fashions where going to be developed like Glitter'n Gold Fashions. (if original planned may have be dropped later, closer to the end...nothing about that Matchin' Medley Fashions in this article) It does say Regine was going to have the same head mold as Raya. (this does not seem correct since Regine had a new face mold in the 1988 Pre-Toy Fair Catalog) And list Astral as having black hair, maybe Hasbro change it to blue and purple closer to the time the 1988 PTF Catalog was shot.
