Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica #4001 Description: has long blond hair with bright pink in the middle (in back) and golden tinsel strands throughout.  She comes with starcapped flashing earrings.  She has a unique body with additional joints that allow her to pose more realistically.  The extra joints are in the middle of her upper thighs and upper arms, which twist.  Fellow Hasbroian Gi-Joe has similar joints except Jem's aren't exposed, they are under the skin.  Be sure to hold on to both sides of the twist joint (always above the elbow or knee) when posing her to avoid breakage.    Known Variations Comments and Fun Facts "airbrushed" dark eyebrowed Jem: She has pale eyebrows, but then there is airbrushed paint applied over top of them.  Her earring caps are clear. light painted eyebrowed Jem (see photo link above); eyebrows are nearly invisible, the eyeshadow is significantly lighter too.  Pink star caps. dark painted eyebrowed Jem (This photo provided by C. Anderson).  The eyebrow paint itself is much darker, so is the eyeshadow, the star caps are pink.  There may be other variations, I don't know which ones are the rarer ones.  She shares the same face mold as Flash n' Sizzle Jem and Rock 'n Curl Jem, rumoured to be created as an improvement over the "ugly" unsmiling 1st year doll. In many countries outside the US/Canada, she is called Rock 'n Gold Jem. Compare Flash 'n Sizzle Jem prototype photos, box art, cartoon form, comic book form and many other incarnations. The bold words in my descriptions are what Hasbro themselves stated came with the doll;  Contains; 12 1/2" Glitter N' Gold JEM/Jerrica doll, JEM "glitter" outfit, Jerrica outfit, "gold" pumps, Jerrica pumps, 2 "gold" bracelets, "gold" sunglasses, hairpick, "gold" microphone, cassette tape and figure stand.

Jerrica outfit; (Yep, that's it) It's white velveteen, elasticized waist, slit in the front.

"gold" pumps; You can tell Jem's pumps from those of the Glitter 'n Gold fashions by the lack of yellow in the colour.  Glitter 'n Gold Jem's are whitish gold.

Jerrica pumps; white sandals.  There is a right and left shoe.

2 "gold" bracelets; zig-zag type.  Whiter gold than the dark gold from Fire 'n Ice fashion.  Same as Clash's in style.

Glitter 'n Gold Jem in various incarnations *The following inks are graphic intensive and may feature files over 100KB.  Click at your own peril!   Glitter 'n Gold Jem on her box back Shows very dark/large eyebrows (even the darkest eye-browed dolls I've seen aren't this dark), and the eyeshadow appears to be glittery.  She has pink star caps (some produced dolls had clear ones) the tights look to be a tighter weave, no zig-zag pattern is apparent on them.  She's not wearing bracelets. The Glitter 'n Gold Jem (with Rio) in the 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue and 2nd year catalogue poster appears to be a touched up version of the Glitter 'n Gold box back photo (or perhaps the reverse is true) So all of the above is true, plus: The eyeshadow is shown to be even darker!  It no longer seems to be sparkly. The doll(s) shown on the side panel of the Glitter 'n Gold Jem box (the seated one of Jerrica is also seen on the 2nd year catalogue poster) Again, very dark eyeshadow and eyebrows compared to the produced doll. The starcaps are nearly red, very dark. The hairpick is shown to be shiny gold The sunglasses are not mirror-finish, ditto the bracelets.  The bracelets are also those skinny zig-zags that never got made. Glitter 'n Gold Jem illustration (on the box front) As usual the pink in the hair is much darker than it is on the doll, the eyemake up is fairly sedate though- more like the produced dolls.  Shows skinny bracelets. Glitter 'n Gold Jem models the Glitter 'n Gold Fashions (The same photos are used for the 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue, the 1987 France/UK Toy Fair Catalogue, the Second Year Jem Catalogue Poster and the Second Year package art)  Again, very dark eye makeup. The Glitter 'n Gold Roadster  page in the 1987 US Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogue Looks a lot more like the produced doll, make up is still on the dark side.  Rock 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica in the 1987 France/UK Toy Fair Catalogue (French Shown).  Glitter 'n Gold Jem's hair is very strangely styled, but otherwise looks the same as the produced doll's.  Eye make up is on the dark side Glitter 'n Gold Jerrica wears smaller gold bracelets that I've never seen before, her hair is also quite laquered down and unusual looking to me.  Various accessories are not shown but text states that they are included. Same doll is shown driving the Glitter 'n Gold Roadster. Glitter 'n Gold Jem/Jerrica on the Glitter 'n Gold Rio page in the 1987 France/UK Toy Fair Catalogue (French Shown).  Shows a US box (Text is Glitter 'n Gold, not Rock 'n Gold) with Jem standing upright in the box, with that strange laquered curled hair.  There is a Glitter 'n Gold Jem commercial, which also shows her with dark make up. Glitter 'n Gold Jem did appear on the cartoon.
