Ask any thirtysomething woman if she watched Jem and the Holograms as a girl and the answer will undoubtedly be a resounding yes. The popular 1980s cartoon revolved around Jerrica Benton, the owner and manager of Starlight Music, who becomes a bona fide pop star with her sister and best friends thanks to the help of a hologram-generating computer called Synergy.
In the live-action remake, Jem comes to life on the big screen as a small-town girl who catapults from YouTube-type singing sensation to mainstream success when the biggest record label in the world decides to sign her and her bandmates.
Although the jury is still out on whether fans will buy this reboot, there's no denying that the slew of Jem and the Hologram merchandise has surprising appeal. Fans of the animated series can purchase everything from hair dye to makeup to clothes – all stamped with Jem's seal of approval.
