Stormer doll ID Page

Doll Name	Stormer
Stock # (US)	#4205/#4010 Asst.
Hasbro package contents listing	12 1/2" doll with stage fashion, musical instrument, pumps, hairpick, cassette tape, two bracelets and figure stand.
Comments/Trivia	Stormer was released both years, the packaging and guitar being the main differences between the two. 2nd year Misfits seem to be limited to ones marked "Made in China" - BUT, not all Made In China Stormers are 2nd year dolls. She had been named Roxy and Rue at various points in development.
Produced Variants	So far, I know of dolls marked on their backs with one of the following places of manufacture, and there are slight variations among them: China Hong Kong No Location No markings at all (Juguetes Con Vida, made in Mexico) Made in Spain *doll shown in this guide is Hong Kong made, but the box information and outfit are Chinese. To learn more about these body types and slight differences, please see the body variations page.

	12 1/2" doll; Caucasian doll with long curly dark blue hair. Hair texture and to a lesser degree her make-up varies, go to the Misfits doll comparison page for more information on that. Stormer, Synergy and Shana share the same face mold.
	stage fashion (one-shouldered tank top); a plum spandex trimmed with a wavy-hemmed velveteen zebra print. Sewn to her shirt are four black mylar "claws" and a small square silver mylar sticker (like those on Roxy's belt) goes on her waist. It velcros up the side. These claws are also very easily damaged and are often found broken off or missing completely. The sticker as well, is just a sticker, and is almost never found on a loose Stormer. Pizzazz's dress uses these fabrics as well.
	stage fashion (skirt); Elasticized-waist black satin-like mini with a slit up the front. Stormer's skirt can be different, the stitching is different, & some are stretchy & some not. & some are longer & shorter, & some have a variation of slits. This could be related to factory/edition differences (China or Hong Kong)
	stage fashion (tights); Black closed-weave fishnet tights. Some Second Edition Stormers (like David's UK one) can be found with black lace tights, like those from You Gotta Be Fast.
	stage fashion (flower); Plastic hair flower. difficult to find these on loose dolls.
	musical instrument; Yellow guitar with a gold cord. First edition doll (top) has an opaque body with a glittery sticker. Second edition (bottom) has is translucent with sparkles in the plastic. This unique body design is copied from a real guitar, the short-lived (1983-1986) Roland G-707, which combined aspects of an electric guitar and synthesizer. Very '80's! Incidentally, the Stormer doll is usually shown holding the guitar upside down. The "handle" is meant to be on the top, not the bottom. Mexican Stormer came with a greener version of the 2nd edition guitar.
	pumps: straight cut dark red-violet pumps, came with my China-made 1st edition doll. She can also come with yellow shoes (specifically French and Dutch dolls have had them, possibly other versions and editions too)
	cassette tape; Black with green lettering on the label. Titled "Stormer"- comes with the songs "Jem Theme," "Winning is Everything", "Music Is Magic."
	hairpick; Dark Pink
	two bracelets; gold spiked "Misfit" bracelets. Pizzazz, Stormer and Roxy (first and second editions) came with these.
	figure stand; First edition stand is clear fluorescent yellow (top). The first editions of Pizzazz, Stormer and Roxy each came with one. Second Edition stand is milkier. Clash and the second editions of Pizzazz, Stormer and Roxy each came with one. One 2nd edition Stormer with the lace tights came with a first edition stand.

Very early prototype of Stormer (originally named Roxy). From Moggygoddess' photos.	Completely different doll style, outfit and make up has various obvious differences. More closely resembles Stormer's first incarnation on the cartoon, as this was a photo that Sunbow would have used as a source.
