Episode Synopsis:
Shows
the early beginnings of Jem and the Holograms. After the death of
their father, Kimber and Jerrica are having problems looking after their
house for foster girls as well as managing Starlight Music. Then
they are introduced to Synergy, a holographic computer created by their
late father, who is able to create "Jem," an alter ego for Jerrica to front
a rock and roll band. At Starlight Music, Jerrica discovers her father's
protégé, Eric Raymond has pretty much taken over and plans
to market a bad-girl group called The Misfits.
Originally aired 06-Oct-1985
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of the outfits shown in the first
five episodes (AKA the "Truly Outrageous movie") were fashions that were
produced, such as the original outfits the dolls were sold with,
and one of the first year "extra" fashions.

The concert outfit looks quite bland, as you can see, I guess it would be difficult to make it look all glittery and sparkly. |

Looks pretty much like the doll, missing the hairbow though and the shoes are white sandals, not lavender pumps. She is also shown with earrings which the doll did not have. The make up scheme is completely different and the doll generally doesn't have football-shaped hair either ;) |

Her outfit is pretty faithful to the doll's (the lapels being the main difference, as well as the shoes (they seem to be slides in the first five episodes of the cartoon) |

Disaster, Kimber's Rebellion, Frame Up, Battle of the Bands. At which point it is replaced by a more faithful reproduction of the doll's outfit. The cartoon was pretty faithful to the doll's,
except it had a dark pink belt at the beginning, it soon switched to white
or grey, and her hair is shown as being completely pink, not blonde with
pink streaks.

After this point, we see the new Jerrica doll outfit instead of this one. Barring Roxy's outfit, this is probably the least like the outfit that made it into the doll world. Pink and blue instead of white and blue, much larger stripes, a hot pink sash and shoes, and the hat has a funny white "V" shaped thing on it.

Disaster, Kimber's Rebellion, Frame Up, Battle of the Bands. After this point, we see the new Pizzazz doll outfit instead of this one. Some notable differences; the doll does not come with a bandana around her leg, the shoes should be grey (black is close enough I guess) and the leg warmer, in doll form, becomes a single sock. Her doll outfit isn't fringed either. |

Wow, what a difference! The doll came with a purple top, no jewellery, differently patterned pants, and a differently shaped belt. The shoes are also sandals- the doll came with yellow pumps. |

They pretty much got it right. The doll's shoes are magenta, but other than that, pretty close! She loses the arm cuff after the first five episodes. |

I can only imagine this must be Rio's "main" outfit, though it bears only passing resemblance to the one the doll came with. |

The first produced outfit (that didn't come on a doll) to appear in the show; I'm not even convinced it is, as it's just in a tiny segment in a Misfits video (repeated in a later video) Jerrica's half doesn't appear until Frame Up. |
