Besides many musical instruments and accessories, Jem and the Holograms also had a fancy car. Note the Jem hood ornament!

Jem and her road manager Rio in Flash and Sizzle outfits.

Jem and her rock band members, 12 in. by Hasbro, 1985-1986, were first seen in a TV cartoon series, Jem and the Holograms. They are all vinyl with eight joints, rooted hair and painted hair.

Real Suntan Secrets by Creata, 1988, 11.5 in., has a six-jointed body with bendable legs. When put in the sun her skin tone grows darker in just a few minutes. To restore the light tone, the doll may be placed in a dark location for an hour. She is boxed with a deck chair, sun glasses, brush, and tattoos. The box includes a warning for the doll’s owner to use sunscreen etc.

Baby Lisa (9 in.) and Lisa Grows Up (11 in.), 1980 by Effanbee, were sold undressed in a close out sale. They were designed by artist Astri Campbell and are marked Astri on the back. Baby Lisa was designed to represent a three month old. Both are very realistic. I made the outfit for Lisa Grows Up.

Rose Petal Cottage dollhouse by Kenner, is 15 in. high and fashioned like a watering can. It has a working doorbell, mailbox, two pieces of furniture, and steps leading to the top deck where there is a music stand. The spout is topped with a skylight so one can see everything inside.

The other three Rose Petal friends are Daffodil, Sunny Sunflower, and Orchid.
