Didn't Hasbro mentioned some months ago they were going to release dolls based in the movie? maybe they cancelled the plans after being the negative reaction from the first trailer? 

I am not a fan of Jem, I've always been a Misfit, pretty much since I began collecting in 2001...but even though I don't like Jem herself, I feel she's been taken apart by this representation. Jerrica was at the very least driven to protect something important at the start of the series, however muddled and confused she became as the series went on. It doesn't actually begin with them being a successful anything. THe Holograms are formed in order to take back Starlight Music from Eric and the Misfits so that they can feed the foster girls, because the Starlight House is falling apart following Emmet's death. They learn about Synergy who helps Jerrica create a band to challenge Eric, and then winning the Battle of the Bands becomes a must because Eric's lackey burns their original house down. There are high moral stakes involved in Jem and the Holograms' beginning. Like I said, I'm a Misfit fan, but you can't fault the origins and the motivations behind the band being together.

By Starlight, I think they've been together as a band for a few months, but they're still growing, and again, the movie is in order to raise money for BaNee's eye surgery. Again,strong unselfish moral ground for taking part.

 Jerrica had some serious identity issues by the end - running off with Riot without a word, creating a third persona to hide from Rio...and she does some really questionable things as the series continues, but it all began with the best of intentions, and it was none of it to seek stardom. It's probably the reason Jerrica became Jem, because Jerrica had no intention of being the 'star'.

And those intentions have been cheapened into starseeking teenage girls.

The film is probably fine. My one issue is that it's not a Jem film, and so shouldn't be piggybacking off the name of something far different.

Synergy's also one of my favourite characters, because she's obviously sentient and not just a machine. I haven't seen the second trailer, but I am actively disturbed by the mention of "robot". Synergy was the "ultimate holographic synthesiser". She wasn't a "robot".

Well written, congratulations 

Another thing that's important from the old Jem that appears to be  gone now is that at the time of the cartoon debut they were very few shows to show a strong willed and independent woman who doesn't need to be rescued or be helped by male characters in nearly every episodes  the only other I can think right now is She-Ra

Unlike most other characters at the time for example April O'neil, Smurfette, etc

Dont complain about the price, they are 35€ here in Germany (each, lol, as we never have 2 for 1)... thats $40 in the US and $51 in Canada for each plushie

Still debatting in I should get DJ or not.. hmmmmmm.

And here in my country and in central america we don't even have any BAB shop, so I  have to import
