Grey's Anatomy star and photographer Brad Everett Young was one of our own. Love him or hate him, he was the founder of “Jem’s Space” on myspace.com. He shared some great photography of Jem dolls, fashions, and prototypes. The information was not always correct, because his main source didn’t really have a connection to the Jem line. He is a devastating loss to the Jem community.

1986 German Leaflets

German JEM Starpuppen Leaflet German HASBRO World of Christmas

 

Some very odd prototype fashions ...
I would guess these images where taken earlier in the development of Jem, compared to the US Hasbro Catalog and doll posters.

It seems that these prototype images are used in all of non-US 1986 Hasbro Toy Catalogs. We may never know why they used these images over the US versions. Rio fashions and the playset images were used, so it would seem that the fashion and Jem, Holograms, Misfits, and fashions would have been available.

The back cover is to have a mail-in offer for a cassette tape with music and a story ... I would assume this is very similar to the Spanish tape that was sold with some Jem/Jerrica dolls.

The cassette tape that you would be sent, for collecting Jem points says:

ONKEL BEN BERICHTET AUS AMERIKA
Hörspiel

German JEM ONKEL BEN BERICHTET AUS AMERIKA
Hörspiel Cassette German JEM ONKEL BEN BERICHTET AUS AMERIKA
Hörspiel Cassette
(click image) (click image)

translation: Uncle Ben reports from America
Radio play

It does sound like this cassette and the cassette you could win are one in the same. JemGlam has a transcript from this tape.

 
"Except the colleagues of MB and its member, everyone can join in." Makes me believe this was printed by Hasbro/Milton Bradley (MB), even though there is no official printing, copyright, or trademark information.
