12 inch (30.5 cm) Articulated fashion doll: Caucasian
doll (slightly tanner skintone than Jem), purple mullet hairstyle with black
lowlights throughout, blue eyes. His hair is side parted and curled up
slightly in the back.
|
He
has an articulated body that can hold many poses. He originally came with
plastic bands taped around his knees, under his pants. He comes
with two pairs of hands. (Back view with markings © 2006 JWU BY IT.) Judging by the date, his body probably wasn't designed specifically for the Jem collection.
| |
These are the ones he was packaged with.
| |
The second pair are in different positions. They came in his box in a little baggie in a tray behind the pink cardboard "door" with his name on it beside him in his box. Note, the body and hands are all the same skintone! My camera's white balance went a little wonky. |

Box, liner and inserts not noted in Integrity's box contents above. |
Box with sleeve: as it came from Holt Renfrew. | |
Box: Came in a thick cardboard diagonal edged
box, sort of a satin finish (not shiny, not matte). It is black with a
silver foil shooting star with the name of the doll inside printed in
it. The record has
embossed grooves on it! These boxes look the same except for
the name inside the star.
| |
The back is comprised mostly of a black background and a repetition of the pink music notes/stars/confetti design in pink. | |
Sleeve:
Glossy thin card stock, die cut edges on top.
| |
Once the sleeve is removed, the box cover lifted off to reveal the doll inside. On Holt Renfrew dolls, there is a shallow plastic tray that covers the entire inside. To the right, the doll is tied in with white ribbons, on the left is a "locker" or door with the name of the character printed inside a white star, that opens to reveal the extra accessories! In Rio's case, they are inside a long rectangular clear plastic tray with little cups that hold his watch, shoes, stand parts, etc. His stand base is behind his calves in a separate compartment. Some parts are in plastic baggies or attached to a black piece of cardboard. Behind the inner tray that holds both the doll and "locker" part is where the COA and instructions can be found. | |
The inside of the top cover is black and has has a bright Jem logo & confetti/music notes design printed on the inside. The inner part of the back of the box is undecorated black. The doll display area is black & pink; so far Rio is the only doll to have this colour. | |
Certificate of Authenticity: postcard sized. There is no mention of the edition size. This COA has come with all of the dolls so far, except for: Hollywood Jem, The Holograms Stage Essentials, The Misfits Stage Essentials, Who is He Kissing Jem/Jerrica Benton, Glitter 'n Gold Rio, Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica Benton. | |

Cardboard box/mailer. I don't know if the Holt Renfrew dolls came in these; the few I saw in person did not have it. |
