I was just thinking about other elements of Jem that I believe are essential to completing a new Jem toyline and the Rockin' Roadster came to mind first. I think things like the Rock Backstager and Star Stage are significant from the original line, but the Rockin' Roadster is the most essential playset accessory of all, imho. If a collector was going to get only one non-doll Jem item, the Rockin' Roadster is IT!
So this got me thinking, what if they reissued the original Rockin' Roadster with modifications to make it more updated and compatible with the Integrity line? They did this for G.I.Joe, where they retooled certain parts of original vehicles to be compatible with the modern figures. What if they did the same for the Roadster? For example, maybe the inner seating area could somehow be updated to accomodate 4 dolls. Or the radio/electronics could be omitted in favor of a working trunk. What if the dashboard was remolded to have sculpted details instead of stickers?
So, how do you all feel about it? Do you feel like your Integrity Jem collection is complete without the Rockin' Roadster? Are you happy displaying the vintage one with your Integrity Jem dolls? Or do you really want a new or updated one?
