Comments/Trivia

  • The name of this fashion is a Jem song title.
Produced Variants So far, I have seen this fashion sold in the following packaging. Since they were all made in China, unless noted elsewhere I don't know if there are any country-of-release related differences or not:
  • US issue 1987 photograph Smashin' Fashions card. Made in China H22 (fashion featured on this ID page is this issue)
  • Canadian issue 1987 photograph Smashin' Fashions card.
To read more about the differences in the fashion packaging, please go to Jem Fashion Box Variants.

Lace Jacket: fluorescent green lace/mesh with stiff iridescent green-blue ruffle going from elbow to elbow. 

bodysuit: black spandex tank style bodysuit.

hose: black lace, elasticized.
  • Some Second Edition Stormers came with these tights.
belt: Same material that's used on the jacket trim, fans out , has a sparkly black sticker "buckle" over the velcro closure.
  • some have stitching to keep the interfacing together.  My US (H22 Made In China) issued one doesn't but I don't know if that's typical or not.
