Did you all have a good Christmas? I got this for Christmas! I think my sister thought it was awful how long I kept putting off buying it considering Sky is such an important character so she decided to have me get it for Christmas. :P It's a really cute pack! Let's get started on the review.
 |
| Look at the lovely couple! Except. uh. Season 5. Ignore that. |
So as a pair of dolls they look pretty cute together-- my only complaint is that they're the same height, if not then Bloom is a bit taller. Which looks kinda odd when her head is so much rounder and cartoonier.
We'll start with Sky.
 |
| The boyfriend. |
And 'the boyfriend's is pretty much what his character has been degraded to. Anyway. My personal gripes aside.
Sky is kinda.. and odd doll, to say the least. His head mold is weirdly shaped and his haircut's a little funny. He looks like that boy from Dog With a Blog.
Anyway, started toe to head-- his boots are the weirdest thing I have ever seen on a male doll in my life. The texture on them is supposed to be like snakeskin.
..snakeskin. Snakeskin Specialist boots? HOW is that useful? It's frighteningly ugly too. Oh well. At least they serve the purpose of boots, right?
His outfit is very, very average. The front of it's pretty nice I guess. It looks like it would be death to get it on and off.
 |
| Well. That's attractive. |
The entire back of his suit is this solid navy blue. I feel like it must've been different in the show, because this is pathetic.
His cape is debatebly more pathetic. It hangs down loosely, and I really, really want to know what that awkward hole at the top is for. Is it so it can go over his head? If so, why? Does he want to wear it as like... half of a poncho? What?
His sword is... odd. I don't really get it. It has all this royal detailing, so maybe it's supposed to be the Domino sword? But if so that's pretty sad considering it's shaped just like his normal sword-- just with royal detailing all over the handle.
 |
| Doesn't he look like the guy from Dog With a Blog!? |
He does, doesn't he?!
Anyway. His hair would be fine if they had made it longer and didn't cut it upwards with layering... because this isn't his haircut. This is like the supposed "hot guy" version of his haircut. Oh well. At least it's better then his Season 5 haircut.
His face is okay. It's not that bad or that good. It looks a little weird next to Bloom but it works. Let's move on to Bloom.

| Sssoopppphhiiixx! |
I really, really want to know what they were thinking with colors when they made this doll. She's super cute, but man look at this:
These colors are not the same. There is something different going on here.
But I guess it's close enough-- they just turned all the rich colors into pastel colors and slapped sparkles on them.
Starting head to toe; she has the Enchantix shoes just like the Enchantix dolls. They're like a cross between Flora's and Bloom's, they're a nice sea green color.
I LOVE the way they pulled her skirt-- I'm sure there's a better word for how they did it but that's all I can think of. It looks absolutely grogeous with all the folds.
My only complaint with her skirt are these two green weird things sticking off the sides, which comparing to this picture above, looks like they mistook her sleeves FOR??
How does that happen?!
Well, it also has this pink fabric ribbon detailing across the top that looks nice.
Her shirt is pretty much her skirt. In shirt form. I like the cut of it.
Her sleeves are pretty nice-- I love how they did those poofy parts of the sleeves, but not too big on the green parts. I wish they had made them a richer color, it works though.
Her hair is surprisingly NOT deathly awful, which infinitely confuses me, because I don't remember how my Believix came, but my Enchantix came a frizzy rats nest. This does not. This come messily curled, but soft and cute.
My gut tells me that if you brushed it you would have the hair monster though, so don't take any chances.
I like her wings. They're just Believix with green and blue instead, and those colors look nice on Bloom-- they should kick pink out of her color scheme. That does not look good.
Her face is generally the same as the normal Believix Enchantix one, but I swear her lipstick is at LEAST two shades more purple. I would've noticed if Believix was this purple. These are really purple, my pictures don't do it justice.
And it's a good thing. It looks super cute. Bloom should wear purple makeup way more often.
As a whole I'd rate this pack around a 7.5/10; it's nice, but it doesn't make much sense. Separately I'd rate Sky about a 7 or so out of 10, he suffices as a Sky. I guess. And Bloom probably about a 7.8/10.
Also. They can't kiss very well. It looks like they might be able to, but really in this picture what it looked like was happening to me as I was taking it, was Sky was shoving his lips up against the side of Bloom's upper lip as he leaned in to whisper something in her ear.
