First, let me make clear this section is for *licensed* Jem merchandise only, I'm not really interested in lighters, mouse pads,
address labels and snow globes (etc etc) that people have made on their
computer to sell on eBay. Any knock-off items lucky enough to be
posted on this site will go either in the knock-offs
section or their country of origin. That said...
School Items |
| School
Items Lunchboxes, Snack Packs, Back Packs and Purses. Lunchkit (Aladdin) The thermoses are small, color coded to their lunch kit and have the Jem logo on them. The kits are vinyl & came in two different colours. The purple one seems to be easier to find. Rob Brown has sent these photos of a pink prototype with the original thermos art but I don't believe it made it into production. Lunchkit (Thermos)
Possibly a Canadian exclusive, is in the "dome top" style, as opposed to the "suitcase" style. The decal on the front is a hologram/flicker-image with Glitter 'n Gold Jem, The original Rockin' Roadster and the 1st year Holograms. The thermos is probably generic, pink. Snack Pack (SGI) Small backback with the Glitter 'n Gold Jem logo, dated 1987. Comes with a matching (but no Jem logo) zippered lunchbag that fits inside the front pocket. Thermos
With Glitter 'n Gold Jem logo on front, dated 1987, Hasbro Canada. I have no idea what it is from or if it was just sold as is.
Purses/Bags
Duffel Bags - see Jem Sleeping Bags. Stationery Supplies (Spindex)

| Games
& Puzzles
Games (Milton-Bradley) All come with cassettes. There are 6 songs per tape, all on one side. The other side has little snippets of the songs (2 seconds of the chorus, for example) so you can use the tapes to play the game. There aren't any instrumentals on these tapes. I'm fairly sure all 3 came in both US and Canadian versions; the latter have some French text as well as English on the boxes and instructions. The songs are not in French.
Puzzles (Milton-Bradley)
Boxed, 60 pieces, features Sharon Knettel's illustration art.
Hologram Puzzles, 96 pieces. The back of the box features the 60 pc puzzles and the board games, also from MB.

Glitter 'n Gold Jem, Rio and Flash N' Sizzle Jem's box art is featured on the cosmetics labels and box backs. They are dated 1987. Some items were reused in different sets and sold singly.
