My first Integrity Jem doll was Showtime Jem. I purchased two of her. One to "play with" and one to stay boxed. Buying that one doll led to the purchase of many more, but only one of each for the following purchases. I have two things I would like to hear about from other Integrity Jem collectors.
1. Are you unboxing yours? My thoughts are that there is no use in having them if I can't touch them. I can't imagine I would ever sell them. I did unbox one of my Showtime Jem dolls. At 37 years old, there's not much I'm going to actually do with the doll, but I do love looking at them and think that would be more enjoyable with the dolls and accessories being out of the box. For those that have unboxed a Jem, wasn't there a weird indescribable excitement to see her with those earrings on once you FINALLY got them on in hopefully one piece? I've only unboxed that one because I'm not positive I want to unbox them all, and I have no place to display them so they are going to just go right back into the box.
2. For those that unbox, what are you doing about the matted, stiff hair? I don't like my Showtime Jem having flat, matted hair in the back. It looks good regardless from the front. I've read some ideas of what to do on dolls in general, but I would like to hear of what people have figured out works and doesn't work on these specific dolls.

. I was purchasing two of each Jem versions; 1 to open and 1 to keep in the box as well but I tapered off with Twilight, Showtime and Award Night. I only have one Hollywood Jem that I left boxed but I'm wondering if I should at least take the plastic off around her knees - it seems like that might cause some issue with the fabric after a time?
