JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?
SHOUT! has announced the release of Transformers and G.I. Joe on dvd. So there's still another popular Sunbow series that has not yet been announced: Jem and the Holograms.

Anyone else looking for this one?
Do we want deluxe re-releases?
Or just Season Thrre, Part Two?

Shout! reps: any word on this?

RE: JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?
I would love to see the whole series rereleased -- but mostly the 3rd Season Part 2. I will buy any and all  JEM and the Holograms DVDs that are releases -- but we never got the last 20 episodes when the DVDs where available through Rhino.
 
It would be nice to see a Truly Outgragous! Movie Speical Edition and the Super Sunday/Super Saturday series put on DVD, so we can Jem in her Super Sunday glory too.

I would hope we see lots of extra bonus features.

I would love to have Jem on DVD, and if they can release the rest of season three that would be the best thing ever. Shout! could get some very nice DVD extras from the Jem fan community now that the fans are so well organized.

Oh! And karaoke! I would die for that.

Karaoke tracks would be a good edition to the bonus section -- I know a lot of Jem fans made their own from the the Rhino DVDs. Again Jem was before her time, the dolls karaoke tracks, were called instrumentals -- because Jem came out before karaoke became so popular.

My dream would be a new set with the complete series in REGION 0 with as many languages as possible.
People from all over the world would buy it!

And I totally quote having karaoke tracks as a bonus feature.

I would love to see a complete series released in a lunch box. The karaoke feature would be awesome.  I like the idea of having episodes in different languages, maybe they could do something like the Simpsons DVDs and have one episode that you can listen to in a ton of different languages to compare.

RE: JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?
Yes, most definitely! I'll take just Season three, part two, but even better would be the entire series in a giftset with commentary from Christy Marx and interviews with some of the incredible voice talent, animators, and even commentary from Hasbro employees on the marketing aspect of the series (since the primary purpose of the show was originally to sell toys).  And, I'd just LOVE a bonus audio cd of all the music! And how about including some of the old commercials on the DVDs?  I like the idea of a souvenir lunchbox for packaging, but ideally, there would be a souvenir doll too!

RE: JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?

I dont know if Shout Factory doing that but is can be nice to have the Jem DVD with the french option (and why not, spanish too)!!  Of course if is possible I really like to have the "french canadian" version of the Opening theme song and not the french version from France (I dont really like it, sorry )!!

p.s.: Sorry for my bad english, im french from Quebec lol  !!

p.p.s: Yes if they release all the Jem episode, I rebuy the DVD, specially if the box set look really cool lol !!

Brian,

Really sorry to hear Jem was not part of the Hasbro deal. Can you enlighten us at to why/why not? Is there any chance SHOUT! would release Jem? Either extend their deal with Hasbro or something else?

There's thousands of Jem fans that would like to see the complete series released on dvd!

Thanks-

RE: JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?
It would seem like the original contract would be just for the major titles – major titles being the ones that are most current. Transformers and G.I. Joe both have movies coming out So the DVDs, in a way, part of the movie merchandising. Even My Little Pony has to toy line currently; it sounds like some pony titles are in that contract too. But right now Jem does not have a toy line or a new movie coming out this summer – Hasbro is not in as big of a hurry to release Jem DVDs. But if Shout! is noticing an interest in Jem, then they could have a louder voice with Hasbro to get Jem released then Jem fans would alone.


Love Jem? check out http://jemcon.org and come meet all the other Jem fans at the 5th annual Jemcon!

Yeah, since I'm not in the business affairs department, I can't really say why it wasn't in the deal.  I agree that it could be a big hit for folks, since it was never completed.  But I can say that it's not something we have, at the moment.  Maybe down the line.  Or perhaps, Hasbro has other plans for Jem.  Not quite sure.

Sorry.

RE: JEM on DVD -- anyone want to see this?

Hah.  Apparently, Hasbro's "other plans" for Jem would be sweeping her under the rug and pretending she never existed in the first place.  Sounds like if we all REALLY want our beloved "Little Miss Pink Hair" back on a COMPLETE DVD set, we'll all have to start really bothering the Big H about it, as well.  It would also be nice to have the CORRECT opening credits on the proper seasons, without forcing us to sit through the GOD-AWFUL "Jem Girls" theme song sooner than we had to!

As for packaging, I'd like to see something simple and sturdy, nothing fancy...something similar to the packaging Rhino used, where there's plenty of room for great artwork and holding bonus booklets and such.  For the artwork itself, it would be GREAT to use all the fantastic art from the packaging of the original dolls and toys (this would also help really tie the series together with the toy line).  Extras would include, of course, the requisite interview/commentary by Chirsty Marx, and interviews with some of the major voices of the series.  Other nice touches would be all the "public service announcements" (maybe even put on the END of some of the episodes), and maybe even a slide-show of the ENTIRE toy line, finishing with the never released prototypes from the '88 line.

The old Transformers and G.I. Joe sets had similar issues with the wrong opening title sequences being on the wrong season's episodes.  You'd think that would be something fairly easy to keep straight...

Shout has already planned to release all 4 seasons of The Transformers G1, and G.I. Joe Seasons 1 & 2 ("But what about G.I. Joe from DiC?"). They should be planning to release other Sunbow cartoons of the 80's by now. I hope Jem will be one of them. But there's also My Little Pony 'n Friends, Visionaries, and Super Sunday. They should also release the Charmkins Special too. And there's also The Great Space Coaster. That show was from Sunbow too.

I watched this  whole series rereleased in the 80's when I was in HS and college.  And now I just bought the first set for my son.  Please don't cut the  Truly Outgragous! Moovie Speical Edition off.
