37 years ago Jem was introduced at the 1986 New York Toy Fair. February 10, 1986 #jem #jemandtheholograms #jemandthehologramsdolls #theholograms #kimber #aja #shana #themisfits #roxy #stormer #pizzazz #rio #flipsidefashions #onstagefashions #smashinfashions #rockinroadster #jemstarstage #rockbackstager #totallyjem #riot4jem #toyfair #toyfair1986 https://www.instagram.com/p/Coh1Z8ROcmU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It feels like Christmas or my Birthday or something, but it’s only the 36th Anniversary of my parents buying me Jem’s Rockin’ Roadster. We stopped in a Children’s Palace about 50 miles away and I was allowed to get anything — as long as it wasn’t a doll. Even after I pointed out that two dolls would’ve been the same price. 😂 If I was smart, I would’ve pointed out that the Rockin’ Roadster and Rock Backstage were the same price as the Jem Star Stage — maybe they would have got me both, oh well 😂 Kimber and Jem were just purchased December 26th, 1986 with Xmas money — Jem was 50% off at TSC, the Tractor Supply Center #jem #jemandtheholograms #rockinroadster #rockbackstager #jemstarstage #hasbro #1987 #36thanniversary #hasbro #aboyandhisdolls #tsc #tractorsupplycenter #childrenspalace #xmasmoney #christmasmoney #christmas1986 #xmas1986 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQWoIzpN7S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s pretty transparent that Jem had remarkable playsets. It can be seen in these Kodak EPN 6012 film positives. A real speaker that transforms into a dressing room. A pretend keyboard that transforms into a stage with a real working cassette player. A pretend guitar that transforms into a radio playset with a Karaoke mic — before Karaoke became internationally popular. And a waterbed that transforms into a working mini keyboard so you could learn to play music. #jem #jemandtheholograms #trulyoutrageous #showtimesynergy #rockbackstager #starstage #kjem #kjemrockonguitar #newwavewaterbed #speaker #dressingroom #keyboard #stage #cassette #cassetteplayer #guitar #radio #radiostation #karaoke #waterbed #newwave #mtv #music #hasbro #80s #80smusic #80sdoll #80sstyle #80stoy #kodak https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEgOteJai3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
