@David315842 No, they were the same doll. The way it worked is that you had to change Jem into Jerrica. You can't see it in the commercials, but the top part of Jem's hair is pink, the bottom part of her hair is blond. You had to take the pink part and twist it into a bun and place the hat of the Jerrica outfit, which was included in the package with Jem on her head; and then she became Jerrica Benton
@menerva4 I couldn't really see it in the commercials, Hasbro should have done better in that regard, however I did also mention that it could have been the same doll which a hair switch gimmick, so thank you for pointing that out. The commercials at least to me could have pointed it out better, though by the sounds of it, Hasbro could have done better then just by adding a hat to keep her duel identity. Actually come to think of it I do remember some blonde within the pink of her hair.
I still have my Jem and Kimber doll and my sister had Pizzaz and Synergy dolls.
I also got the cool neon pink stage that came with stands to put the dolls on it and microphones they could hold.
I had the rockin roadster too that had a radio in the back of it. I am not sure where it got too I kinda wish it was till around but Ill hang on to the dolls for sure.

I had a JEM Doll! I loved my dolls and being a kid in the 80's and 90's. Strawberry Shortcake, Raggedy Ann, Cabbage Patch, Barbie, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite and Kid Sister Dolls!!! I had them all. I really miss being a kid of the 80s'/90's.
I sold all my dolls on ebay, now i wish i hadn't.
The Jem doll had blond hair on the bottom, and pink at the top, over laying the blond...so when you made her Jerrica, you could stuff the pink hair up in her hat, and it would only show the blond.
Actually, I bought the earliest version for my sister....the pink wasn't as profound as on the later dolls....when they gave her the prettier face with the open smile, her pink hair was really pink
No, you're right. I bought an early doll for my sister. the pink was really pale. When they offered the smiling prettier jem, the pink got darker....And actully the doll I bought sis came with an early poster that showed the available outfits.....those dolls looked like even earlier, scarier, proto-types
@newlywedmoodys I had Aja, I owned all of Jem and the Holograms, and I even had the orphans that hung out with them. But I never had any of the Misfits
It used to bother me they made her look like a transvestite. her hands and feet were too big. I loved playing with it, though! Though I never did get the Kimber doll.... :( or Pizzazz.
@Elphie3000They made the hands and feet bigger on purpose since reports of little girls misusing their Barbie dolls which have smaller hands and feet in order to detour them from injuring themselves or other children since the larger Transvestite like feet and hands would not ever fit into any normal childs orphus and provided a much lower risk of child abuse than that of the sluttier doll Barbie!
i always wondered why they man Jem feet so flat and big......and i was so pissed when i lost the earrings ugh!!!!! lol those were the days man wish i could go back sometimes
Jem was amazing I seriusly think she was my fashion idol to this day I still wear pink all the time and they should bring her back my 4 year old is screaming for me to buy her and sadly I still sing this song.
they should bring jem back. seriously. little girls would go gagga over her even now. i STILL do, and my 3 yr old has never gotten so excited about anything until i put on Jem
Our English ads sucked, the American ones are so much better coz Britta sings in them. I wish more of the different version dolls were relased here though. :(
JEM RULES!

maybe it's just the coloring in the commercial but is the Jem's hair blond on the doll instead of pink? It looks awfully Blondish.

@Passions55 The video quality isen't too good. Jem's hair is pink, Jerrica's is blonde.

@David315842 I just noticed in other videos, that perhaps the original Jem doll was perhaps quite blond-ish after all, my bad.
