These two latest ReAction figures have thrilled me more than you can imagine. Jem and the Holograms was an iconic part of my childhood. I was always very multi-faceted with my interests loving everything from girly properties to sci-fi, to action, to horror. There was a weekend cartoon block called Super Sunday which seemed perfectly catered to me. It contained cartoon shorts of Inhumanoids (a scary demonic cartoon), Robotix (a sci-fi robotic fantasy show), Bigfoot (a (boring-by-comparison) vehicle-based action cartoon), and of course Jem (the music-filled pop extravaganza). I loved them all. As I became an adult collector, I have desperately wanted to include Jem in my collection. But my aversion to soft-goods dolls and my loyalty to cartoon-accurate designs have kept any products from making the cut. My (impossible) ideal would be MOTUC-style figures. But as the ReAction line picked up, I knew this would be the line to eventually include Jem, and I'm so happy I was right. Let's check them out below!
Jem comes with a pink microphone accessory.
And Pizzazz comes with a guitar.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are Jem and Pizzazz together. How amazing would it be to get a multi-pack with the rest of the Holograms and Misfits? If they were made as a convention exclusives I would buy them in a heartbeat.
And here they are with their Funko Pops from 2018.
And all my ReAction Eighties Ladies all together. I'm looking forward to adding some Silverhawks, G.I.Joe, and Transformers to the lineup in the future. From Left to Right: Evil-Lyn, She-Ra, Sorceress, Jem, Pizzazz, April O'Neil, Cheetara, and Teela. (Missing: Shadow Weaver and a few Teela and Sorceress repaints).
Cheers!
Interesting and clever way they sculpted the skirt but still allowing the legs to move.
