new Jem dolls
« on: January 11, 2013, 11:30:45 PM »
Are they worth the price?
Or are collectors being taken advantage of?

I have no chance of ever being able to afford one of the new dolls and am interested to know what they are like :)

(thank you Mattel for keeping the masters classics prices in the realm of the mere mortal)

I've seen these too; they do seem ridiculously expensive.  Same with the latest She-Ra dolls.  I'll bet the price will come down eventually.
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

I want the Jem dolls SOOOO bad, but not for that price!!! I would be willing to pay more for decked out dolls, but these look like basic dolls you buy off the shelves at toy stores. Not saying they aren't truly outrageously awesome, but I just can't pay that kind of price for them :( I would have put them in the range of $50-$60 and that's pushing it a bit ;) Wish I could afford them, I love Jem!

They seem far too expensive for what they are to me.

As a big Jem fan ... I don't know.  The price is too rich for my blood, but maybe someday ...

Here's the homepage:
http://www.integritytoys.com/jemandtheholograms/collection-hollywood-jem.php

Gorgeous dolls, but a bit out of my price range, especially since these are characters that really work well as a set. That being said, they seem to be comparable to other LE collector's dolls of that size and quality in price, so it all depends on the person and if they find them worth it in the end.

I'd love to see Jem return as playline dolls again, I hope someone sees the potential with how popular the ones from Integrity are.

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

I never watched that show. I pretty much grew up on 3 channels. But I have to say the faces on those dolls are amazing. Very lifelike

I don't think the price will go down on these.  That is a normal price of an Intregrity doll and the Jem line has a limited amount of each doll being made (which I've heard is normal for Intregrity to do with all their dolls).  There are going to be more characters being made and I'm pretty sure they will make other versions of Jem too in the future.

I like the one I got but I need to contact them because both of her right hands aren't painted well and her belt had a little bit missing on the decal.  I've heard from others that Intregrity will fix the problem. :)
