Stella's Photogallery

Our Miss Magix winner has made her debut on the Winx Club site's photogallery albums! How exciting. <3

I love this one of her and the drink, thought it is a bit off. While Stella looks gorgeous, Musa... back there is having some problems.

There's a reason I don't like flash animation. This is it. :P 

And why is there a carrot in her drink? Is that something I didn't know about? Do people do that?

 Anyway, I do think Stella here got the better of the photogalleries, along with Musa (even though she may not be doing too well back there behind Stella...) and maybe Flora or Tecna. Bloom looked kinda creepy in hers and Aisha's was kinda bland.

This picture of her isn't bad either! It's very Stella. :)

Not relating to the pictures themselves much, but I love her outfit. It's one of my favorites of hers. I prefer her with bangs too, but I see why they did this. It looks better with the outfit. The headband is really cute too and I love those star earrings.

 That's about all for today, be sure to tune in to Nick this Sunday to watch Season 5: Episode 2, The Spill! I'll be doing a review on it just like I did with Episode 1: The Lilo, so check it out once it goes up. ;)

Musa's Photogallery

Musa's Photogallery has officially been added to the Winx Club official site

I think her's is the best so far! It shows off her outfit and hairstyle, which by the way look much more Musa. Season 4 Musa's outfit... don't even get me started. It's the exact opposite of Season 1 Musa, it's preppy and pink.

Anyway, happy she's getting back into her normal style! Now all she needs is a haircut, and she'll be perfect!

Not saying I don't totally love this haircut, because I do, and it's much better then Season 4's, but I do think it would be even better with short hair. ;)

I love these images, she looks so cute!! haha. Though I do wonder why sometimes she has her headphones and sometimes she doesn't. It happened in the first episode too, it's like a glitch. Sometimes she appeared with them and sometimes she didn't. It would make more sense if when she didn't appear with them on her head she had them on her neck, but they just... disappear. Is it a storage spell? Or does she just decide, "NOPE, I don't like these headphones today." and throws them away? lol.

Now all we need is Stella's photogallery! Our Shining Sun princess, my favorite Winx girl. If it wasn't obvious, lol. She's plastered all over this blog. :)

What do you think of the Season 5 outfits? Do you prefer any of the Season 4 outfits over these? The only one I think I prefer Season 4 is Bloom. Share in the comments!

Season 5: Tritannus Clip, Flora and Tecna's Photogalleries

I'm sure by now you've all seen the clip of Tritannus and Nereus, if you haven't, check out BelieveInWinx or MagixJourney, they've both got it posted and uploaded!

My opinion? Best out of all the preview clips so far.
It's much more serious, and less silly. I like it a lot!

I do find it odd however that both Tritannus and Nereus look exactly the same, but with different hair colors. I mean, they even have the same hairstyle? What kind of brothers do that? Especially when one tries to kill the other...

And it's a nice touch they included Tressa and Queen Ligeia! At first I wasn't sure if I heard it right when Ligeia said brother, but watching it again I'm sure of it. It's nice that they're a family-- well not nice that they now have a mutated merman in their family, but nice they remembered their existence and didn't make a whole new royal family. I am wondering where Nabu fits in however. If Aisha's family rules over the land of Andros, and Tressa's the sea, what does that make Nabu's family? The second rulers of the land?

Also, nice to finally know how to pronounce Tritannus. Probably just me but I was always pronouncing it Tri-ton-us, instead of Tri-tan-us. Silly, huh? :P I just always thought it would be pronounced like the triton the object.

Also, Winx Club's Season 5 Online site has posted their photogalleries of Flora and Tecna! Here's a link, since I only included one of each in the post. ;)

Flora looks cute in the picture with Helia, and Tecna looks cute in the one with Timmy! Kinda funny they look cuter in the pics with their boyfriends, haha.

So what are you thinking of the Season so far, and of the new preview clip? Share in the comments!

And be sure to tune in this Sunday for the second episode of Season 5, The Spill!

Review: Season 5: Episode 1, The Lilo *SPOILERS*

I am soooo happy right now! Here's a head to toe review of my opinions, thoughts and everything else. :)

The theme song! OMG, I'm so glad they didn't use We Are Believix. Yes, it's a cute song, but it would not have worked for the Season 5 theme song. Siamo Winx is so much better, and did you guys SEE that 2D Sirenix?!! I am sooo loving it!!!
The Girl Power thing in the theme song was a little lame, but it still works really well. Loooove!

Alright, time for the episode.

I loove Mitzi's little sister. Cutest little girl ever! I loved when she threw the plant too, that was great. Her "Oooh Winx!" thing was little cheesy, but I don't mind. She is a little girl after all, right?

The Trix are better then ever now that they're back! They've gotten much more aggressive and violent.

Mitzi is SO awesome. When her little sister was being chased she went and got her scooter to help get her out of there, whether she agrees with her or not. I love how determined she was to get to the Community Garden too, that was sweet. She may not agree with her little sister about some of this stuff, but she knows she has to help her and keep her safe.

A little 'blaaah' about the Winx's behavior so far, tired of all the spells being sparkles and Bloom being cheesy as the moon, but besides they seem to be nice. I wish they'd add a bit more depth to their personalities though, that was something Season 4 was lacking as well. 

That part at the end where they flew down the rainbow? That.. was cheesy, but it was cute. I feel like it would've gone better elsewhere though, like at the end of Season 4. It was kinda weird to see it just at the end of the first episode.

I do hope we get to see them in Magix though, it was kind of lame how as soon as they got there they left and went back to Earth. :( Oh well, I'm sure they'll return soon enough.

Overall? loved it! It was great. :) There were a few things I didn't like, but they were minor things that I doubt will be a problem in later episodes.

What did you think of the first episode? Discuss in the comments! 

Edit: Screencaps added!

Season 5 Premieres In Less Than 24 Hours!

Image credit goes to the Winx Wikia
Season 5 premieres in less than 24 hours, how hyped are you!?

Winx Club has come a long way since Season 1, almost ten years ago! It's been a journey we fans will never forget! The Winx Club have faced the evil Trix, the opposite of Bloom-- the Shadow Fire, an enemy from Bloom's past, Valtor, and most recently the fairy hunters: The Wizards of the Black Circle!

Each time our fairies have come out on top, and it's been amazing to watch!

And in less than 24 hours, their journey will be continuing with Season 5! This Season the Winx girls face Tritannus-- an evil mutated merman, who is also Aisha's cousin! Quite a plot twist, eh? They'll also be earning two completely new powers, Harmonix and Sirenix!

It seems too good to be true, it's hard to believe the wait for the new Season has gone by so quickly! But it's here, and I'm ready! I don't know about you guys, but I'll be in front of my TV tomorrow waiting for it. ;) Be sure to set your DVRs to record if you can't catch it!

When it's over I'll be posting a full review of my opinions and thoughts, so be sure to check this blog tomorrow once you're finished watching! Discussion is welcome in the comments, we can all talk about our opinions on it and discuss! :)

With two new transformations and so much other stuff coming our way in Season 5, I'd like to ask---
What's your favorite transformation? What's your favorite Season? Share in the comments! 

Poster from MagixJourney
 And don't forget, tomorrow we're going to try to get Winx Club trending on Twitter for the Season 5 premiere! If you have a Twitter account, don't forget to help out with that! It'll be great if we can do it!

Poster from MagixJourney, another wonderful Winx blog!


See you fairies and specialists tomorrow, to discuss the Season 5 premiere of Winx Club with you all! 

Until then, stay magical, and believe in yourself! As Bloom would say. ;)

The New Season 5 Clips and Aisha's Photogallery

Looks like a lot of new Winx Club stuff is happening this week! Including the premiere of Season 5 this Sunday. ;) 

First, a couple of new clips of Season 5 have come out! BelieveInWinx and MagixJourney both posted them, so be sure to check out their blogs to watch the clips! I included a link to their blogs in that last sentence, so if you click the name of the blog it'll link you to it!

Here's my thoughts on the pair of clips.

The Lilo

Definitely a cute clip. I love that the Trix are back, and Stormy is so aggressive! She seems to have gotten more angry then last time, this time even roughly grabbing the little girl. I must say I'm kinda surprised she did that. Didn't think even a villain on Winx Club would be so gruff with a little kid.

Mitzi is awesome. That girl just rode into the public mall on a motorized scooter going who knows how many miles per hour. I hope she does more then try to steal Brandon this Season, since she's a great character. 

And is it just me or are the sparkle peace attacks getting a little old? Come on Winx girls, kick some butt! Don't just throw sparkles at your enemies, that's lame. You can do it!

Flora's Training 

I think I like this clip a bit more. It's more action-y.

That part with Flora thinking about Helia was SO cheesy though, my goodness. Whether you love him lots or not you don't need to start lovey-dovey telling the world about him during training.
At least it seems like she got the idea, since she did get blasted with water mid-speech.

Bloom's being cheesy, but that's pretty normal for her. Nothing abnormal going on here.
I like that it seems to be a bit more old-style for Winx. It's not quite as Season 4 as it is the other ones.


The other news of the day, is Aisha's photogallery is up on the Winx Club site! Here's a link to the Season 5 section. The images of her in this post are the images in the photogallery. ;)
 They're pretty average images, nothing amazing but they're not bad. A little disappointed they're not using her hair from the trailer, I loved it. :( It was so big and fluffy and cute!! This hairstyle isn't bad, but still going to miss that old one. They could've at least kept her visor from the trailer. I mean, they are using the fluffy hair and visor in advertisements, so why not use it in the show?

So what do you guys think of all this new stuff showing up? What do you think of the preview clips?

And be sure to tune in this Sunday, when Nick will be airing the Season 5 premiere of Winx Club! :) Don't forget to help get it trending this Sunday, as well!

Sky's New Haircut

My my, looks like the King of Eraklyon got a brand new haircut!
Shame we can only see it from the back, but it's all that was posted today on Winx Club's Season 5 section of their website.

Personally, I think it's pretty nice. It's more fitting for today's styles, and it'll make him more popular with little girls and that audience. 

Though I must say, I will definitely miss his old haircut. It was different, do you know what I mean? It wasn't your average "cute boy" haircut from most tv boys. It was kind of different, while still being good looking.

Old haircut aside, this one is pretty cute and I definitely still like it. Season 5 seems to be changing up the hairstyles quite a bit.
I mean, until now Flora never wore a ponytail in the show. Musa's hairstyle is really different, Stella got some cute sidebangs, and Bloom finally grew out her bangs. (Though I think I may like her bangs better, oh well. They wouldn't have looked good with this new outfit anyway. I do hope she gets them back eventually, though!) 

Anyway, so Season 5 is in just a few days, it's this Sunday! How hyped up are you guys?! This picture is only making it more exciting, haha. 

Be sure to check out both BelieveInWinx's article and Magix Journey's article on these new screenshots! They both reported it super quick before me. ;)

And don't forget to help get Winx Club trending on Twitter this Sunday, the day of the premiere!

Season 5 Episode 2 Description

So it looks like the description for the 2nd episode is out!
Be sure to read MagixJourney and Winx4Life's articles on it!

"The Winx hold a benefit concert to clean up the oil spill; Tritannus absorbs the spill's pollution and transforms into a monster; Tritannus and Trix escape from prison."

So it looks like the band is making a return! It wasn't my favorite, but hey, I guess it's better then if they suddenly dropped the band out of nowhere, right? Especially after how they made it such a big deal at the end of Season 4. 
I didn't even know the Trix got put in prison, haha. Was it something that happened in Magical Adventure? I haven't watched that movie yet, so I'm not sure.
It seems like they have a nice plot being built so far with Season 5, it looks like it'll be just great. ;)
Am I the only one that finds it pretty interesting that Tritannus absorbs the pollution? I wonder if it's going to be the kind of thing like, 
"I will absorb it so the rest of the ocean can live in peace despite how it may affect me!"
That'd be pretty interesting to me. :P 

What are your thoughts on the description for the next episode? Are you excited for Season 5?

Best Friends?


Sibylla here! My third real post on the blog, I'm thinking about adding some more updates to the blog or getting a co-author to write here with me.

 I was taking a look at some of the stuff on ToysRUs Canada's Winx section and where it has bios for the girls it has best friends listed.
For Bloom, it has Stella listed. For Stella, it has Bloom listed.
For Musa, it has Tecna listed. For Tecna, it has Musa listed.
And for Flora, it has... Aisha listed?
Yeah, that's right. Aisha.

Bloom and Stella makes sense to me. Stella introduced Bloom to the world of fairies, and they mean a lot to each other. Bloom keeps Stella from being too over the top and Stella keeps Bloom from being too serious. Their characters go nicely together, and they make a great pair of friends. So it makes sense they're listed as best friends, right?

Musa and Tecna I don't think are quite as close, but they were roommates for a few years and that gives them a connection, whether it be as strong as Bloom and Stella's or not. I imagine their friendship is really behind the scenes, they don't show it too much on the show because neither of them are the main character and neither get lots of screen time, but it seems like they'd be pretty close considering they shared a room. 

But Aisha and Flora? 
It doesn't make much sense to me. I'm a fan of both of them, trust me, but they don't seem like bffs or anything. Musa would make more sense then her. At least her and Musa were fairly close in Season 2. I could even handle Stella, I mean Stella did come after her in the Charmix episodes when she ran off thinking she hurt Musa. 
But... Flora?
Off the top of my head I can't think of anytime they even did anything together without the Winx besides when Flora tried to cure the flower in Pixie Village. They seem like friends, but no better friends then let's say, Musa and Bloom. It seems like they paired them together because they were the remaining two.

Oh well. I doubt the bios on ToysRUs Canada have much significance anyway, I just thought it was odd how they put them down for best friends. They don't strike me as super close friends.

What are your thoughts on the pairs? Share in the comments!

Review: Jakks Pacific Believix Dolls

My second real post on the blog, woohoo!
Today I'm going to do a review on the Jakks Pacific Believix dolls. I recently completed the set so I have them all to supply info about!
Let's start with Bloom, since she's the main character.

Bloom is overall a pretty nice doll. Her face is gorgeous, and her wings are pretty nice too. The outfit isn't the highest quality, but this doll is aimed at a pretty young audience, so I wasn't expecting much better quality clothing then what it is. Right? I mean, small children don't really care what fabric it is. So it gets a pass.
Her shoes don't come off if you leave the rubber bands it comes with on on. And if you don't, they don't fall off much anyway. Just occasionally.  I really like the socks, they're sparkly and pink. Perfect for a Believix Bloom, haha.
My biggest complain is probably the hair. I can't stress this enough, do NOT brush it. If you brush it, it will turn into an angry monster that eats everything in sight and will never be tamed.
Jokes aside, it gets pretty nasty if you brush it. It starts frizzing out and  gets really ratty.
I also don't really like the fact she has no bangs or anything considering she had them in the show, but whatever. It's a children's doll.
If you do try to cut your own bangs for her though, keep in mind that it's pretty hard. I tried myself and while they look more accurate then before they turned our pretty short because the hair that I cut (the two curly pieces in the front) pops up whenever you cut it. So cut it on the long side. 
I'd give 'er about a 7 or so out of 10 keeping in mind what the audience is. I'm sure little girls will love it, but collectors will have some problems.

Time for Stella.

Stella is probably my least favorite of them, but she's still not a bad doll. There's just a lot of things that don't work for me.
First, see that pink frilly part? It doesn't look quite as nice in person. Underneath it is a white skirt that is pretty much just a piece of cloth sewed in the shape of a skirt. It doesn't look nice.
Her hair has a bit of problems too. It's rooted really weirdly near the top and has a few bald spots. Bits of the straight part in the back are kinda wiry but not too bad, it could just be mine on that.
Her wings are my favorite of any of them, though. They have so many bright colors that they just look absolutely gorgeous. She gets points for that.

Overall, I'd give her about a 6 out of 10. Not the best of the line but not bad.

Flora is next.


Surprisingly enough, Flora is actually my favorite of the line. She has the same hair problems as Bloom, in the way that if you brush it it will turn into a giant man eating monster, but if you don't it looks pretty nice.
Her clothing is probably the best of the line. She has the nice socks (you know, the ones that aren't the shiny stiff ones) and it just looks nice. You don't have to do anything to keep it nice either, it just.. stays nice. I wouldn't recommend her for rough play thouogh, some stuff might go wrong with that.
She also gets points for extra pretty show accurate face, the stock picture doesn't show it as much but in the picture she kinda has sleepy eyes which look adorable on her. Those little things at the top of her hair look a lot nicer in person as well.

I'd give her about a 7.5 out of 10. Her hair is still a ratty monster if you brush it but as long as you don't mess with her she should stay looking pretty nice.


Musa now!
I like this Musa doll. She's very.. Musa. Her hair was done well and doesn't have the rooting problems Stella has, and her wings are some of the nicest as well.
Her outfit uses a different material from the others. The others all use that shiny material, but she uses a more shimmery material. I personally prefer this material because it's less stiff but either works.
I love her face, the only thing I'd say could be done better is her makeup. The super light pink lipstick she has in person looks a little weird, but it still looks fine. She's probably my second favorite. I loe that little piece of fabric off the side of her fabric belt too, it adds a nice touch and I'm glad they included it. It looks really nice with the rest of the doll and if they hadn't put it there it wouldn't look as complete.

I'd give her about a 7 out of 10. Not quite as nice as Flora, but still a very nice doll.

Time for Tecna.


Tecna isn't my favorite, but I'd say she was done better then most of the girls. She has the prettiest face out of them all, it has almost no eye makeup and her haircut is cute and practical. They did it a bit shorter then it is in the show, but it still looks good.
I like the style of her outfit, it's called a romper if I remember right? (that  word always bothered me, oh well.)
She has that shimmery material Musa has on her fabric belt. It's a nice touch.
My only complaints are that for one, her wings constantly fall back unless you tape the back of them. The other girls have long hair to keep them from falling backwards but Tecna doesn't so they fall a lot of the time. That and her shorts constantly are giving her a horribly painful looking wedgie unless you straighten them out and don't sit her down.

Overall she gets about a 7.5. She's one of the nicest.

Last but not least, Aisha.

I'm a little half an half on Aisha. Her face and hair are probably the best out of any of them but her outfit is really lacking. It it mostly that shiny material with nothing else but the occasional green frill.
Her wings have nice colors though and the design on them is nice. It's just the outfit doesn't have much to it. It's really simple. It looks nicer next to the other girls, but when you have her alone or with one other it doesn't look as good.
Her face and hair though are the best. He hair is curled perfectly (so don't try to brush it) and it looks just like the show. In person her face looks pretty close to the show too. I'd say doll alone not including outfit she's the best, but when you tack on outfit she gets moved down a bit. She's still a nice doll and she's still worth the money, but I'd say her outfit is my least favorite out of the girls.

Overall I probably give her about a 6.5. Not too bad, but not the best.

How I feel about this line as a whole is simple. They're really nice dolls and great for Winx fans of all ages, but the clothing isn't the best.
A few complaints I have about the line in general is that for one, they ship them horribly. They ship 3 Bloom, 1 Stella, 1 Flora and 1 random either Aisha/Tecna/Musa from what I've seen. It makes it a pain in the neck to get your hands on any of them but Bloom, Stella or Flora. And that means it's a pain to get your hands on half of them.
There's also a slight problem with the knees on some of them. I'm thinking it's just the early ones because only my Bloom has it and I got her when they first sent them to ToysRUs back in June, but they bend too far forward. Not so far it's really unnatural, but they bend back so that it makes it hard to get them to stay in a natural position.

Man, this review was a little long. Oh well. I might post something else short today, but here's a big long thing. :P

So what are your thought on these new Jakks Pacific dolls? Share in the comments!

Review: The New Transformations

Now, by this time I'm sure all of you have seen the new transformations, Harmonix and Sirenix.
So I thought I'd share my thoughts on them as the first real post of the blog!

Let's start with Harmonix.
My thoughts on Harmonix? Absolutely gorgeous! The flowy trains, ribbon sandals and hair tied back like that make for a wonderful combination. I'd say it's one of their prettiest transformations yet.
But remember, I said prettiest.
These outfits may be absolutely gorgeous, but they look like they'd be horrible to fight in. My goodness, can you imagine fighting with a long train like that trailing you everywhere you move as you try to dodge attacks and throw some of your own? Those heels look pretty uncomfortable too, but most Winx heels do so they get a pass. But to me it just seems like it'd be horrible to try to fight in.
Aside from that, the wings look wonderful too. The colors look really nice with the outfit and I'm glad we're moving away from the gigantic wings, since they were getting a little large.
Just a little.

Overall, I'd give this transformation a 7 out of 10. It's gorgeous, but it looks like it'd be a living nightmare to fight in. You'd be tripping all over the place.

Now for Sirenix.
(I don't want to post any pics from the leak, so we'll have to go without a picture for this one.)
Personally I think Sirenix has a bit of an odd design, mainly in the tights. They're connected to the boots and have one of the most outrageous patterns I've ever seen.
But they do have a certain charm to them, don't they?
I love the pony tails they all have and the sparkles look gorgeous in CGI. The cuts on each of the dresses is a nice touch too, since each girl has it in a different place.
They also look MUCH easier to fight in then Harmonix. They actually look convenient to fight in. With their hair tied back, no extra fabric getting in your way, it all being skin tight, and the boots make it much more battle ready.

Overall, I'd give this transformation a 8.5 or so out of 10. It doesn't have quite the beauty that Harmonix has, but it would work much better for what it's purpose is-- fighting.

So what are your thoughts on the new transformations? Which one do you like better, and what are your thoughts on each one? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments! <3

My Introduction

Welcome to Believix Wings! 
I created this blog because I love Winx Club, and I have ever since I was little. I'm a teenage girl from the USA and I go by SibyllaJustice.
I look forward to posting here, I've never had a blog like this so it's my first time. I hope I'm doing it right! haha. 
I plan to post the current Winx news, reviews of Winx products, and my opinions on Winx Club related things. I think it'll be really fun and a great experience, so I hope to have a good time with all you guys here in the Winx community! 
To start off this blog I'd like to ask, how were you introduced to Winx Club? I'm sure it's a question asked time and time before, but I always find it fun to hear about it. 
I was introduced to it because when I was little my mom brought me one of the four comics they translated into English from the grocery store and thought I'd like it. She never imagined I'd end up loving it this much! Now I'm a huge fan. :)
So what's your guys' story? Share in the comments!
