New Jem and the Holograms toys at NYCC!?

Yes I've heard the news. I'm hoping they do it right. I'm concerned it will be all wrong. I'm hoping it's done right.

I'm going to NYC Comic Con with some other Jem fans we want to see these for our selves.

It sure is! No joke. I don't know how that's gonna work out but I can hope it's at least watchable.

I can't imagine that working well. I'd prefer a cartoon.

Are you kidding? Lady Gaga, the biggest pop star on the planet, doesn't strike you as similar in concept to Jem at all? This is the PERFECT time to relaunch Jem and the Holograms considering the look and sound of pop music today (Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj etc.).

I guess I'm too far out of touch. While I've heard the names you speak of, and have seen the Lady Gaga headlines all over the place I'm just not plugged in I guess.

Personally the whole relaunch / revamp thing is getting a little tired to me but if the end result brings today's little girls joy than who the heck am I to complain?

I guess it's that for so long now I keep hearing the old schoolers moaning and complaining when the the new version doesn't live up to expectations (see Retro Action, He-Man 2000 or Star Wars post 1999).

Excuse me while I go youtube search the aforementioned pop princesses while longing for Debbie Gibson and Tiffany

Yes, while the relaunch of 80s properties rarely lives up to the original, when done right it can be amazing (see Bandai and Cartoon Network's current Thundercats).

So is the a revamp or a re-release? The later I think will have a nitch with collectors but I don't think a revamp will work. The world is such a different place these 25 years later I can't see the concept of "holograms" being all that captivating to todays kids.

My Daughter loves it as does the little girl of my Son's Doctor I know where some of my spending will be come christmas
