A little back story first. One Saturday morning, I was browsing the channels for something to watch. I came across this program, Super Saturday, which had a segment called Jem. I didn't get to see it from the beginning, but came in on "episode 9" as I like to refer to it. It was the part where Jem and the Holograms perform on Lin-Z's show and the set starts to fall on Jem for the cliffhanger. I'd missed the following week, so I didn't get to see her get rescued until the repeats, but didn't miss an episode after this!
When I found out Hasbro was going to be releasing a line of dolls based on this cartoon, I was psyched! I couldn't wait to get my hands on these dolls! I scoured the stores looking for them! For some reason, I was expecting them to be smaller than Barbies, like about 6 inches tall. Imagine my surprise when I saw they were a little bigger than Barbie!
The colors, the fashions, the GORGEOUS artwork on the boxes! I just couldn't get enough! I remember seeing a mother buying a doll for her daughter and thinking that little girl was so lucky! I was finally able to get one for myself! It was AMAZING! I still have my original, but wanted to get another one still in the box, so when I was older and had some money, I found one fairly cheap on Ebay (my best friend for finding dolls from my past!). I kept her in the box and was thankful I did so, for two years ago, Christy Marx, the creator of Jem, was at ComiCon! I was able to meet her and to have her sign my doll! It was a dream come true!
