Barbie apparently took it to heart, which is why she formed Barbie and the Rockers.

I wonder if Jem ever took a shot at Jerry Only's devilock, and that if it was the real reason the Misfits wanted to get her. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Barbie won in the end because Hasbro were unable to run Jem doll adverts during episodes of the cartoon designed to sell them, Mattel on the other hand, could. Hasbro realised that they were subsidising a show that was basically functioning as an advert for Barbie and pulled the plug on their cartoons, with only Gi-Joe surviving as DIC put in a low, low bid.

Hasbro was being saucy...there was a commercial where the Transformers don't mention names, but remind us they're the originals.

But on the flip side, Mattel couldnt run ads for He-Man or She-Ra during their cartoons, but Hasbro could run ads for their products, including Jem, on those shows.

And then there was this print ad: ![](https://wwfljn.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/card-back-slaughter.jpg?w=598) EDIT: Also, take a look at Slaughter's quote,,they knew exactly what they were doing.

"I'm sick of the mudslinging between wrestling companies. You don't see this in other industries!" Jem: "Barbie's hair ain't shit." Meanwhile, the war rages on between My Little Pony and the Care Bears.

Hasbro realised that they were subsidising a show that was basically functioning as an advert for Barbie and pulled the plug on their cartoons, with only Gi-Joe surviving as DIC put in a low, low bid. GI Joe was able to run commercials though. They had the comic as a workaround. They would animate a commercial featuring all of the toys they wanted advertised. Then force Larry Hama to write an issue of the comic that featured all of them so the commercial was for the comic, not the toys.

And the real reason that Jem never really became as big as Barbie was because the dolls werent "compatible" with Barbie (as in, you couldnt mix and match the clothing with Jem and Barbie dolls, Jem dolls were smaller).

At least Hasbro and Mattel were able to settle this whole thing thanks to Pixar:

Given how badly Savage wanted to apparently kill the Misfits after one of the band flirted with his girlfriend, I don’t think Jem was too worried. (the part where the guitarist keeps calling Macho “Mr. Man” kills me every time)
