Comments/Trivia
  • It's possible this is the doll shown in the 1987 Hasbro Toy Fair catalogue, in the Rock Back Stager display. (notice the dots on dress, shorter hair, etc).
  • Hair is (rather messily) in the plastic acetate bonnet that many produced dolls came with, but not Rock 'n Curl Jem.

12 1/2" doll: Caucasian doll with platinum blonde wavy hair, with a streak of cotton candy pink hair in the middle.  Has earring holes.
  • Hair is shorter and straighter, different texture.
  • Darker brows
  • Coral lips
  • Hair is in ribbons - notice the one on her head is the plum colour, not royal purple like the ones the produced doll normally came with (though I have seen some come with this plum colour too)


Bodice of dress has larger silver dots than the produced version. She did not come with any bracelets, sadly!

Produced dress

Came with the hair pick, microphone and shoes in a plastic baggie - they look like the thick-sided shoes.
