Hasbro + Integrity Toys = Jem and the Holograms?

[modernwizard]

Yeah yeah, late to the party, but apparently Hasbro and Integrity Toys are doing high-end, articulated, fashion-doll remakes of Jem and the Holograms. I wonder if they'll do the rival band too? I never got into the dolls the first time around, but I'm curious to see what the remakes look like. If they are 1:6 scale [as opposed to the original dolls, which were more like 13"] with articulated elbows [as opposed to the original dolls, who had articulated wrists, but no articulated elbows, for mysterious reasons], they could be interesting.

EDIT: Holy crap! 1:6 scale! Articulated elbows! Pink hair! Of course, this particular doll was one of those super-duper special editions available only at the 2012 Comicon, therefore now available on Ebay for $gazillion. Well, there'll be more of them in the future.

They do offer a lot of resistance--the wrist pegs are probably the toughest bit of engineering on Integrity dolls... Ach, if the hands couldn't be removed from Integrity dolls, I'm not sure if I could tolerate them at all. (That's why I'm no longer willing to buy Pivotal Barbie bodies; Fashionistas only get a pass because they're so inexpensive.)

I'm afraid I will pull the more flexible hands from the unyielding wrist pegs. Good thing she's not changing her clothes any time soon.
