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.

I'm not
sure if this doll was produced or not, but it was going
to be released 10 years before Jem came out. The name
of the doll was Star Bright, her stage was Star Bright
On Stage. The stage spotlight looks very similar to the
spotlights for the Darci playsets. And it would have come
with a record including a Tammy Wynette and a Vicki Carr
song.
You may also notice that
the doll box itself is shaped like a Jem doll box. This
box was made to hold the record. This box and Jem's
are very similar to the Mego boxes from the 70's too.
But it just seems like there are too many similarities
here.
Christy Marx (head writer) came up with Starlight Music,
Starlight House/Mansion, and the Starlight girls, so
there is no real connection between this Star Bright
and the Jem dolls.
