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! 

• Click here for his first post showing all of the Bloomix dolls in one image:

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! 

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. 

Click here for a news article explaining  the whole story.

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."

Winx Club Season 6 TRAILER Debuts on Rainbow's Winx Club YouTube Channels!

Okay guys, I'm so late with this post! But anyways, here are my thoughts on the Season 6 Trailer! 
As most Winx Club fans already know, on Thursday August 29th, the trailer for the BRAND NEW 6th season of Winx Club was uploaded to many of Rainbow's Winx Club YouTube Channels (Rainbow has multiple Winx Club channels for different languages.)  

Here is the trailer from WinxClubEN (The English Winx Club YouTube Channel. Also note that the trailer was uploaded on the other channels but were also the English version.)

I'm not going to comment on the trailer too much but here's a bullet list of things that I noticed/liked/didn't like about the trailer. (I ended up commenting on a lot.) 

• LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN SEASON 5! I think the plot of this season will be much more interesting than Season 5! Read the exclusive plot summary on Michael's Winx Club! *****SPOILER ALERT. Don't read it you don't know what happens in the last few episodes of Season 5.*****

• The Trix get new outfits once again! I'm happy about that but I'm not sure if I like the new hair styles and clothes yet. I'll need to get a better view of them.

• The Winx are wearing pink and grey plaid school uniform style outfits throughout the trailer. It's unconfirmed if these will be the official everyday outfits for this season or not at this time. The outfits are really cute and pretty but I'm not sure how I feel about them being so similar. It kind of takes their individuality away as a group of fairies with totally different powers. 

• Daphne is shown getting into the transformation poses with the Winx girls. It will be cool to see her fighting with the Winx in a few episodes, but please Daphne... don't join the Club. How lame would it be to be in a club with your younger sibling? I would hate that. A lot of people are saying that Daphne deserves to in the Winx Club because she helped out the Winx so much but is it really necessary? Daphne is already Bloom's sister so they can hang out when ever they want. I'd much rather see Roxy join. I want to see her progression as a fairy. How cool would it be to see her get her Enchantix powers or something? Although I feel like this will never  happen because Rainbow and Nick  seem to like to not like to talk about old transformations once a new one comes along, which is really unsettling for me. I always miss the old ones! 

• There's a very anime-ish vibe and style throughout the whole trailer. I think I like it! I'm not sure if it's exactly "Winx" but I guess we'll see when the new season 6 episodes debut!
  

• We see the Specialists with new outfits. 

• Of course we get a sneak peak of the new transformations! It looks like there will be two in this season. 

I think this will be the main: 

And this here will be the minor: 

As you guys can see there will be CGI animation in the 6th season, but I'm pretty sure most of us saw that coming. 

What did you guys think about the trailer? I'm SO excited for season 6! And if fashion dolls come out I'm sure they'd be gorgeous!

Jakks Pacific Harmonix Dolls in Italy?

Would anyone be able to confirm if Jakks Pacific Winx Harmonix dolls are being sold in Italy? 

The Italian toy website http://www.toysmania.it/ has many Jakks Pacific dolls for sale but they also have many Witty Toys Dolls, which is the company that makes the dolls that most of Europe gets.

I was very curious about this since I thought that Italy only sold the Witty Toys dolls.

I checked eBay  because that's a good way to get an idea of what is actually being sold in a certain country. Believe it or not, if you search "Winx Harmonix" on the official Italian eBay website http://www.ebay.it/ , you will see many Harmonix dolls by Jakks Pacific! I think this is very interesting! It looks like many of the sellers have them at their houses in Italy! 

So Italian Winx fans, have you seen any Jakks Pacific dolls in stores, or are these sellers getting them from somewhere else?

Winx on Easter?

There was no new episode of Winx Club Beyond Believix yesterday (Sunday March 24, 2013) because room in the schedule was needed to make room for the  2013 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards (KCA's).

Because of this, Nickelodeon has decided to schedule two episodes of Winx Club this Sunday which happens to be Easter. Do you guys think this was a good or bad idea?

Personally I think it was a bad choice on Nick's part. I think they should have just skipped two weeks of Winx and air the episodes starting the week after Easter. Unless Nick decides to advertise it heavily I think the ratings will be even worse than they have been. I know I'll be at my one of my relative's houses on Easter and won't have time to watch Winx Club. A lot of people will be in the same situation as me and will either have to record it, or miss it and watch it later on Nick's website. So what do you guys think? Will you be watching Winx on Sunday? Or catching it later?
