For the first time in years a doll line has come out with personality, humor, and character driven themes. Monster High is not just a doll line, but also a complete brand with merchandise available in almost all categories. This Mattel line is not connected to Jem, but at least one (if not both) of the creators of the line is a major Jem fan .(see video below)

The line is so popular that the dolls were very hard to find for at least the first six months of release – I hope it keeps it’s popularity and continues to sell for many years. Monster High is also very popular with many doll collectors, and many Jem fans.

Might be inspired by Jem:

• Gloom Beach Jackson Jekyll looks like this missing Misfits/Stingers fan. Many of his design elements and the color scheme were used in both the Misfits and the Stingers designs.
• In the Summer of 2011, there was a contest to pick the one of the new dolls to be released (winner-Scarah Screams, Daughter of Arachne, and Headless Headmistress Bloodgood)– there was (an untrue) that Hasbro was going to have a contest to see if Raya or Craig Phillips was going to be become Jem and the Holograms new drummer.
• 2012 Monster High will get the Draculaura Sweet 1600 Roadster – Jem had the Rockin’ Roadster which was changed to the Glitter’n Gold Roadster.

The page is roughly organized by when the assortments were originally released, with additions to the assortments added under the previous wave. Case and quantities information mostly comes from entertianmentearth.com, among other US and international store websites. Fall and spring dates seem to be the generically intended release for the dolls, even though doll may show up months before or months after the release season at some stores or in some locations. Sorry for any confusion while I was moving stuff around and reorganizing the page.
