I disappear from the internet for a week only to find Integrity has released images of three new dolls in their Jem and the Holograms line!
Most recently released is the W Club Members exclusive Jem, Broadway Magic Jem. This new Jem will retail for $119.00. As you know, I’m not a huge fan of Integrity’s releases so far. They’re too expensive and they never look ‘right’ to me. I do believe, however, that Integrity is working on making the face look a little less harsh, which was a major gripe of mine!
San Diego Comic Con will bring us yet another new Jem release– Glitter and Gold Jem. G&G Jem will retail for the whopping price of $140.00 and will be very limited (like the entire Jem line thus far).
The weird thing about this release is that this is a Hasbro exclusive, not an Integrity exclusive. I know that Hasbro owns the rights to Jem, the cartoon, but don’t quite understand how that warrants this to be strictly a ‘Hasbro’ exclusive. Just be sure to note that if you want this, you have to go to Hasbro’s booth to get it!
The last edition announced this week (well, last week) is a second edition Rio dressed in Glitter and Gold attire to match Jem. Rio was one of the few releases I did like from Integrity, but this 2nd edition? Don’t like it at all. Nope, sorry. It just doesn’t look like Rio to me and the fashion just doesn’t work on him! Literally the only thing I like about this doll is the record he’s holding in the promo picture below.
Rio is a web exclusive and will only be sold in Integrity’s online store starting July 17th. I have a feeling this is going to be a hot seller, regardless of how bad I think it looks, as buying this is the only way to complete the the ‘Glitter and Gold’ set for those attending SDCC. Rio will be priced at $119.00.
What do you think of the new releases to the Jem line? Love them? Hate them? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!
