A week ago we
about Shout! Factory's October 11th releases of JEM and The Holograms - The Truly Outrageous Complete Series! 11-DVD set, and also JEM and The Holograms - Season 1 four-disc set. Today Shout! has sent over the official press release, reprinted below (sandwiched between the high-res 3D package art of the Complete Series set at the top, and the Season 1 set at the bottom). As you can see, the press release mentions "an exclusive extra DVD packed with bonus features, including archival material rarely seen by fans," but it doesn't go into detail about those extras. However, the Shout! online store's
for The Truly Outrageous Complete Series! lists these bonus features:
Retrospective Featurettes, Including Brand-New Interviews With The Cast, Crew And Fans!
Original Toy Commercials
Video Jukebox
Animated Storyboards

...And More!
You can pre-order the Complete Series set there at the Shout! online store right now for $59.99 plus shipping and handling. There are listings for it and for Season 1 , but as of this writing they are not accepting pre-orders there just yet...we expect that to change very soon, though.
Now, however, here is the finalized 3D package art, along with the official press release:

Best known for her iconic pink hair, star shape earrings, rousing musical numbers and trend setting fashion, Jem knew how to rock her glamour, glitter, fashion and fame and influenced a generation of viewers who grew up watching this animated series.
On October 11, 2011, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Hasbro Inc., will release the long-awaited JEM and The Holograms: The Truly Outrageous Complete Series! 11-DVD box set, sparkling with all the episodes in the order they were intended, and an exclusive extra DVD packed with bonus features, including archival material rarely seen by fans!

The series "JEM and The Holograms" ran from 1985-'88 in first-run syndication, and still boasts a loyal and vocal fan base. It is frequently credited with influencing fashion in the late 1980s and beyond, and launching the careers of female pop-rock stars and music groups.
The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into rock star Jem.
Teaming with her sister and best friends who form The Holograms, Jem sets out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés.
