 I asked them for the English cast list, and I wanted to share it for those who are interested. So here it is, enjoy! 


Remember, you can watch the movie HERE: on Netflix, legally, and in English!

Jakks Pacific Bloomix Dolls Appear on Tumblr!

(This news has been posted already on various sites and Michael's Winx Club and Una Di Noi Winx, but I first found out about it from one of my friends on Flickr.)

So last night Tumblr user, Duchess Swan, posted a picture of his Toys R Us Doll Haul, which included the entire Winx Club Bloomix Power Collection! 





And now what everyone has been waiting for--- The Bloomix Doll Images! I do not own these pictures and will take them down if requested by the owner. The purpose of this post is solely to spread Winx Club news and to reach as many fans as possible! 











I like these dolls, but I don't love them, That may change when I see more pictures of them but honestly I was hoping for something a bit better. Sadly, it looks like they had to go through a lot of cost reduction from the leaked prototypes we saw here

  • They all have the same yellow crown mold which appears to be from the Bloom Harmonix doll, but I don't think works here. If they were going to reuse an accessory I believe the Aisha Harmonix tiara mold would have worked better as it hangs over the forehead more like the tiara in the Bloomix designs.  

  • The transition from leggings to shoe is really awkward in my opinion. The skin really shouldn't be showing. I wish Jakks would have invested in using a longer shoe mold to cover up the skin (they used the Bloom and Flora Charmix mold for people wondering) OR made the leggings go all the way down and cover the feet (like footie pajamas) and then put the shoe on top. I think those would have been better solutions. (The prototype image from above had a different shoe mold and leggings that didn't reveal skin.) 


  • It looks like the Mythix wands and Capes that the girls had in the prototype images were also cost reduced, unless the Mythix wands are coming with the Mythix dolls. We will have to see.


But of course their are awesome things about these dolls too! 
  • The leggings are all very nicely detailed!
  • The wings are gorgeous as always.
  • The tops are nicely detailed.


IN CONCLUSION:
Maybe I am being a bit too critical. The Bloomix show designs were very complex and are probably the most complex of all Winx transformation designs. I am still SUPER excited Jakks released these and I will be buying every single one. My favorites are Flora, Musa, and Tecna! How about you? Please tell me what you think in the comments!

Hopefully Mythix and Color Splash are still set to release!

Help Una Di Noi Winx Do #SomethingTrulyMagical

Hey guys! Today I am here to tell you about something one of my fellow Winx bloggers has started! It's a campaign to show Nickelodeon and Jakks Pacific that there are still many Winx fans and the best part about this campaign is that you can do whatever you want to help! 

Here's an excerpt from Una Di Noi Winx's post:
"It doesn’t matter what you do. Just express yourself as a Winx fan, then show what you’ve done to Nick and JAKKS. Don’t think too hard about it, either. We’re just showing them how much we love this show. If you just wanna send a tweet or two, that’s fine, too."

Please CLICK HERE to read more about the campaign and most importantly help us out! We need as many Winx fans as possible! Share this campaign around as much as you can!

Winx Club Dolls in the Middle of "Anorexic" Looking Doll Scandle

So guys, the Winx Club body type/art style is again being targeted by parents who think that the body type is unhealthy for little girls to see and a dad wants the dolls to be taken off shelves at a retailer called Myer. 


What do you guys think of this story? Do you think the Winx body type is a negative influence on little girls? 

This is how I personally feel about the subject, "Does anyone realize the dolls are simply based off of the show's characters and art style? The art style of the Winx Club cartoon makes the characters skinny and thin. It's just an art style, it's not an accurate representation of how your daughter should look. If your daughter likes the dolls and you're worried about how she will be effected by the thin body, can't you explain to her that normal girls don't look like that? That she's based off a cartoon? Not real life."

Happy 10th Anniversary Winx Club!

Can you guys believe it? Winx Club has been around for 10 years now! January 28, 2004 was the first time that Winx Club aired on TV in Italy on the channel Rai 2. Ten years later, Winx Club is still an amazingly popular cartoon series with six seasons and counting, theatrical films, TV movies, and tons of merchandise! I'd like to say congratulations to Iginio Straffi and Rainbow SRL! Thanks for giving us Winx fans such a special series :) 



Here is a link to one of many articles about Winx's 10th Anniversary!

What is your favorite Winx Club memory? With 10 years of Winx Club I'm sure you have at least a few fond memories!

Winx Club Season 7 CONFIRMED!


Special thanks to Una Di Noi Winx for posting the news first! Amazing news Winxers! There is a seventh season of Winx Club in our future! The article here on an Italian news website, Corriere Adriatico contains an interview with Iginio Straffi, the CEO of Rainbow and creator of Winx Club in which Straffi confirms a seventh season of Winx. Here is a snippet from the interview (translated from google translate, so it's not the best translation). 

So many initiatives underway at the Rainbow ... "We are in full swing: it is in preparation for the seventh series of the Winx, the II series Prezzy, a third film about witches, the studio also new characters.'s going well the Rainbow Magic Land, the amusement park near Rome. During these first few days of the year we are strengthening Our offices in Asia in the near future where we will focus our efforts. "

The article also mentions that the 3rd Winx Movie is scheduled to come out some time after this upcoming summer and that Rainbow is focusing on strengthening their offices in Asia. Maybe they will be expanding the magic of Winx to other countries? Nothing is confirmed about that as of now though.

So what do you guys think? Are you happy Rainbow is adding another season of Winx or do you feel as if the series is being stretched out too long? I am very happy there is going to be a seventh season as seeing Winx Club end would be really painful for me, so I'll take any Winx we can get!
