REVIEW: TLS Toy Jem & the Holograms SHANA

 

Well, my replacement Shana turned out to be pretty good. Her face paint is still not perfect, but it's not smeared like the first one. I don't know how painting works these days, but it's kinda like her paint was too bubbly and thin. Like there are little spots in it that may have been bubbles? At least she looks mostly good and her lips were printed on correctly. Kimber has a couple flaws, so for the moment, I'm waiting to see what TLS ships me, but if they don't ship soon, I may try another from Amazon. 

Box art. 

Doll Shana has always had her bass, though in the show, she played drums for quite some time. 

Stickers. 

Lanyard.

Bass, stand and comb.

Free from the box!

There's something really cute about this particular one that made me decide to keep her even before I fully checked over her makeup. 

She doesn't feel like show or doll Shana to me, but a new option. 

 With her stuff. 

These dolls are really fun to pose. 

After I finished with Shana, I was very tempted to open Kimber, just because I'd had so much fun with Shana and Aja. But I resisted. 

I'm still a bigger Aja fan, but Shana also has good nostalgia for me. Shana was the first Jem doll I ever saw. My childhood friend Anna got her for her birthday and that's when I knew the dolls existed. I asked for Aja when I got home from the party, and Aja would indeed be my first Jem. 

I hate how the company has handled so many things, yet I do love these dolls, and I really want them to keep going. They just need to make a lot of improvements!
