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."

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! 

Winx Club Online Shopping Site! Italy Only?

The New Online Shop of the Winx! Enter! 

The official Italian Winx Club website now has a Winx Club online shopping store! The website launched today December 6th and there is a video on the front page featuring the Winx Club shopping site. 
Click the link HERE to watch the video!

The video features a Limited Edition Bloom Urban Fairy doll for purchase for about 30 Euros, and other Winx merchandise like magazines!

If you live in Italy, then you are in luck for buying, but other countries don't have access to the Winx store! Most likely, because the website doesn't offer shipping out of Europe or Italy (I'm not 100% sure but this is a good guess).
Here is the shopping site link! See if it works for you!

If you live outside of Italy and have access to the website we would love to hear what other countries can access it and what else the website features! Thanks for reading everyone!
