New Jakks Pacific SDCC Daphne Doll

LOOOOOOOK what's coming out..!!!!

You guys better be SUPER excited because man this is amazing. She's officially on ToysRUs Canada's site! http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=20365846

I love that they actually made her orange. None of the other companies had the guts to do that and look at how amazing it turned out. She's orange and she looks exactly like the CGI.

I think it'd be better if the dress was a color a bit further from her skin, but hey I'm not gonna complain too much about this because we're getting a Daphne. 

I love the things on her arms. They look torn. Which works for a spirit.

It doesn't look like she has a face; that's kinda cool and creepy at the same time. I mean, of course I see lips, but that's because they're molded on. I wonder if she'll even have like, eye outlines or something.

I'm loving the molded on hair/mask/hat whatever that is. I know people would probably complain it's molded and not real hair but MAN, do you really want that in real hair? That doesn't even look like real hair in the TV show!

So it also looks like she's going to be a Comic Con doll. That's a little bit of a pain but since Winx Club isn't extremely popular it should be fine. Blue Bloom went up on TRU Canada's website like this, too-- so my guess this girl is going to be limited to 1010.

I wonder if they will make equivalents to Silver and Gold Bloom, too? I can't think what they could be though. Maybe one would be 2D Daphne?

But anyway, I am SOOOO excited!!

What do you guys think of her? Do you plan to get her? Do you think they'll make Silver and Gold equivalents?

New Witty Toys Sirenix Dolls

http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/484311_625142950834704_1630610187_n.jpg

There's a link, since I'm not sure if these images are leaked or what? I'll pull down the link if it turns out they are. :P

Credit to Winxisawesome of One&OnlyWinxClub for posting this on BelieveInWinx forum!

Anyway! I know there's been a lot of confusion about just what these dolls are. They're Witty. No, I don't have any confirmation or anything, but I'm positive that's what they are. 

They have Witty bodies. Those definitely aren't Jakks-- Jakks are much more slender and skinny. Less curvy as well.

Yes, I know they have Jakks Pacific heads on them... but Witty's weird. I've seen them do this before-- they modeled their outfits on Jakks dolls. I guess they just stuck Jakks heads on them so they wouldn't be taking pictures of headless dolls because these aren't finished. They most definitely won't come out with Jakks heads, because even apart from that, these are the Believix hairstyles. They'd have unique Sirenix hairstyles if these were the final heads.

Now that that's been cleared up. I actually quite like these bodies. I don't get the lack of accuracy though-- what's up with Flora's tights? Why no pink? They are pink in the show, right? There's also something weird going on with Aisha's outft I can't place. 

I doubt these are even the final outfits though, because in case you guys don't remember, Witty released many different images of their Harmonix line before they came out, and they looked way different than the final versions. So maybe these will be more accurate when the time comes.

What do you guys think of them? Do you have a different theory on what they are? Are you excited to see what Jakks does when it's their turn?

MagixJourney's Jakks Pacific Toy Request Petition

We all sit around complaining about how there's no Musa, Tecna, or Aisha in the Enchantix/Charmix lines, or how Musa and Tecna aren't in City Style, and how there's no Roxy Believix doll, and how Jakks won't make any of that fun stuff we want...

Well guess what?! 

No more sitting around!! My friend MagixJourney created a petition on his forum. There you can list everything you want Jakks to make-- and why! Then he'll send the topic to Jakks for them to see, and maybe, just maybe, it'll make a difference, and they'll give us Winx fans what we want.

http://magixjourney.forumotion.com/t198-winx-club-jakks-toy-s-request-petition 

Here it is! You have to sign up to post, but no worries, it doesn't take long. 

It doesn't matter if what you want has already been said-- say it again!! The more people Jakks sees wanting this stuff., the more likely we are to get it. So let your voice be heard! If we all join up and work together, I know we can do this! Can't you imagine?! Walking into a store and seeing a Roxy Believix doll sitting on a shelf. Or a Musa, Tecna, or Aisha Charmix! Come on everyone, we can do it!

JustAnotherCrazyWinxFan posts Pop Disco doll images!

Check out his post HERE! http://justanothercrazywinxfan.blogspot.com/2013/02/winx-pop-disco-dolls-and-some-fall-2013.html :)

Okay, I love it. Even though they went an odd direction with this line-- were they really trying to make it accurate? I mean, it's okay if they weren't but. Tecna and Aisha are wearing pants when they're not supposed to be.

I really like Bloom's hairstyle with it. Sleek, long, and beautiful. Her face looks a little odd in these pictures though, not sure why. I bet it'll look better when the dolls actually start showing up in stores though, because right now it looks like they used the Concert face as a base when by the time these are on shelves the City Style face (which is different!!) will be more of the base. Looks like her pants will be the same material as Concert Bloom with Stage's.

I really like this Stella. I think she might be my favorite out of the line. I definitely like her outfit the best and I'd so wear it myself. Do you know how few of the Winx outfits I can say that about??? :P A lot of people are saying her hair looks more golden than usual, and it does... but I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't make it all the way to the shelves. :(

Flora looks really plain to me. I think it's partly the fault of that hairstyle. With her two front things that hairstyle doesn't work because it covers up the sides of her head and looks awkward. Kinda like she's trying to hide in her hair. I really like her shirt though and those shoes are the cutest.

Musa looks a little awkward to me but I think it's probably just the image. The colors look odd though too. On the other hand I LOVE her lighter makeup-- it's like the Believix makeup but on the budget faceprint! Though I'm not fond of those tights. Her hairstyle looks really cute too from what we can see-- it's not a bun, you can see some hair peeking out behind the wing. It's an oddly styled ponytail.

Tecna is such a cutie! She's competing with Stella for the spot as my favorite. Okay, I love the material used on her shirt. Why can't Winx use that whenever they want something shiny?! (cough cough, Believix plz). I also really love her hairstyle. They kept it short while still managing to curl it. (cough cough, Harmonix plz). Too cute.

As much as I love Aisha as a character, she's probably my least favorite of the line. I adored the design from the art and show, but this... isn't it. She needs her big tall socks and shorts! Come on Jakks, don't your love me?! (how often do I say that? I'm starting to think Jakks doesn't love me.) I do love how they did the hair though, it looks like two puffy afros. :P

Overall, to be honest I'm so gonna buy all of these. And for a $12.99 pricetag? Score! I might end up having to customize a couple though. (looking at you, Aisha.)

What do you guys think? Will you buy the line? If so, who out of it? Who's your favorite?

Review: Jakks Pacific: Harmonix Aisha Doll

So yesterday I decided to drop by ToysRUs on a whim. I wasn't really expecting them to have anything since it was a while since they last restocked, but to my surprise.. they had the entire Harmonix line! Minus Musa and Tecna, of course. 

So I happily got Aisha, and I think I might go back and get Flora sometime this weekend. Reviewing these Harmonix dolls is getting a little hard though-- they all have such similar outfits, it's a challenge to think of unique things to say about them each! But I'll give it my best.

(Also, sorry there's no full-body picture with this review. I did take one, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't upload it. I was able to upload the rest though!)

So let's start at the shoes. They're pretty nice! The same mold as Stella and Bloom's, and they change from Morphix purple to the green color of her train. There's glitter molded into them. I don't know if it's just luck or what, but they've stayed up on her legs better then Stella and Bloom's did. Also, just noticing this mold has stars and hearts all over it. Come ooooon, let that just be for Bloom and Stella.


This is her dress! I think it's my favorite so far. Stella's was really plain and while I liked Bloom's, there was something missing. I think Aisha's is the most complete and nice looking. On her skirt there's an underlayer which I think you can see, it's a blue color, with a hint of green. On top she's got a bunch of little green... hmm, there's a word for those. Fishnet? Kind of. Not sure how to describe it, but I think you see what I mean. It's stiff and has a ton of little holes in it. And sparkles! her skirt has a whole lot of those on it.

I still don't know who decided giving all of the girls the exact same purple belt would be a great idea, but whatever. Getting a little tired of seeing it. It's... the same as it was the last two times.

The shirt has that same stiff feel that I complained about with Stella's. It's a nice pastel green, really close to the show. Have I mentioned how much I adore the way Jakks is doing the Harmonix dolls' outfits? While they're all pretty similar, they are like that in the show, and unlike Simba they're actually trying to make it look like you see in the show.

It has one little blue strip sewn on which is the same material as Musa's Believix pants. I love that material. I wish they'd use it whenever they needed anything sparkly.

It also has that one little frill that I didn't photograph very well. It seems a little inconvenient but whatever. It's a doll, not a human.


These are her wings! Personally I think they're my favorite Harmonix wings so far. Look at the colors! It's like... an unnaturally colorful ocean! And all those little oval things that who knows what are supposed to be. But they're pretty!! 

Mine's wings actually spilled the mold I think. You know those pink heart clips on the back? One runs out of the heart and onto her wing. Woops. Guess I won't be removing those wings from their slips anytime soon! Oh well. Wasn't planning on it anyway.


Okay, so to be honest, whenever I've seen this doll in pictures she's struck me as pretty lackluster. The main reason I wanted to get her is because.. well, I'm collecting almost all the Jakks dolls, and I love her in Season 5. Not because this doll seemed extra special or anything.

Boy was I wrong! She is gorgeous-- probably my favorite of the Harmonix line so far! I thought her makeup was a little overdone in pictures but in person I think it's perfect. Just look! It's a gorgeous blue that's around the shade of the blue part on her shirt. And her lipstick is a nice purple-y color!

I also love her crown. I've always loved circlets, personally more then tiaras! It's so cool to have one on a doll. If only it came with a "Circlet for you!" (No. That'd be terrible. Scratch that.)

Her hair actually isn't half bad, either! I was expecting some frizzy ratty mess. It's much nicer then that though, take a look!


It's really dark, so I'm not sure if you can see or not. If you can't, try standing up and looking at your monitor from higher up, that always makes everything lighter. But like, that giant shape? That's not frizz or rats, that's giant curls. I love it!

Not sure if you can see or not, but looking at this picture and the last one you might be able to see her hairstyle. It's really cool, and I'm not even sure how they did it. It's like they did that thing where you pull back two pieces on the sides and tie them together, but along with twisting the hair in her part and adding it in there too. It's amazing, and really cool! 

Though I definitely wouldn't recommend brushing it. Sorry, but I can already tell if you did you'd end up seeing the horror of Believix Bloom's hair. Just leave it like this and you'll be good though!

It's not the reddish brown color of the show, it's more of a natural dark, dark brown (almost black.) But I don't really mind, I think I like it better actually. It looks gorgeous with the greens of her outfit.

I  really like this doll! Overall I'd probably rate her... 9/10. The only con of these Harmonix dolls is that they're all pretty the same. Once you have one, you'll know what to expect with the other five. Their faces however are all super different, and that (at least to me) makes up for it.

What do you guys think of this doll? Do you plan to buy her? Who's your favorite of the line?

Also, if you guys didn't see, I added some more categories to the blog! Doll Reviews and Episode Reviews. So you guys can choose what you want to look through. Of course, everything will show up on the main page though. Including stuff that isn't Doll Reviews or Episode Reviews. I just did those two since they're my main things.

I also want to have one for general opinions.. kinda like What Happened, Winx Club? And The Dubs of Winx Club. What should I call that? I can't decide.

TimeToPlay Shows Sirenix Prototypes at Toy Fair

Eek!! Super amazing, and just when I started to lose hope of them being at Toy Fair, here they are!! <3 Love you, Jakks!

Credit to Sirenixprime29 on believeinwinx forummotion for getting this out first! http://believeinwinx.forum-motion.com/t1571-sirenix-prototypes-at-toyfair-2013 We're all discussing it there, so feel free to sign up and join us!

So let's check this out.


Okay, whoa... only a minute showing off Winx? Seriously? Hopefully IdleHands or AtamaiiToys will go back later and take some more pictures.

So let's see what we have...

These are interesting. I'm a little disappointed they did molded on tops but I'm kinda doubting that this is the mainline anyway. Seems to me like if they were doing a mainline they'd use the normal haircolors. The skirts look a little cheap but eh, it works.

Another thing that makes me think this isn't the mainline is the fact they only showed off Bloom, Stella and Musa. They would be showing off everyone if this was the mainline. But this is a nice sideline-- I wonder if it'll be color change hair or anything. Their wings are also unusually small and you know Jakks loves to go all out on big wings.

I'll bet that this is a color change line.

And a light-up Bloom doll! That also plays the Sirenix song-- I'll definitely be picking this up. I didn't like the transforming Believix doll because it looked too clunky but this is perfect, not clunky at all. 

The wings are also a normal size! I'm loving this.

And then one final screencap to show off everything together. 

So what do you guys think?! Personally I'm loving what we're seeing, and I'm so eager to see a mainline and the rest of the girls. And if that weird haircolors line isn't the mainline like I'm guessing-- it's not Bloom, Stella, Flora, it's Bloom, Stella, Musa, how exciting!!! :)

Jakks Pacific Musa and Tecna Harmonix Dolls

..have appeared in an ad! So, funny story. This morning my friend Jen from BelieveInWinx forum told me that she had seen a commercial with them in it, but couldn't take a picture, and I instantly freaked out because... well, Musa and Tecna Harmonix!!!

So I spent my day watching hours of Spongebob, despite the fact I hate it, because that's what she said was playing when she saw it. And lo and behold...


Nasty quality image, sorry. I literally had to take a picture of my TV screen.

I'm sure some other people beat me to reporting it, but that's fine. I'm still super excited! Just look at them!

Musa is my favorite of the two. I LOVE the bright pink they used on her outfit, even though I know it's probably partially my TV, and even though it's inaccurate I love the curls in her hair. Her wings are also AMAZING looking, if I may say so myself. She's actually probably my favorite of the line!

I'm a little disappointed that they used a crown on her head like that instead of how Aisha's is since hers is like that in the show, but whatever, this works.

Tecna is SUPER cute too! I love her outfit-- the colors are perfect, and from what you can see, even though it's very little, her wings look adorable!

The long hair also looks super cute, though it's really inaccurate.. but hey, pretty!! Right? Can always cut it anyway, but I think I'm gonna keep mine like this. Apart from Mattel's Enchantix Tecna, I think this is the only long-haired Tecna doll.

What do you guys think of them?!

The Stella Design Studio has showed up on eBay... and I don't understand how it works

So that thing has hit... and I really, really don't get it... 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Jakks-2013-Nickelodeon-WINX-CLUB-Playset-STELLAS-DESIGN-STUDIO-w-Doll-/400387927862?_trksid=p5197.m1992&

credit to eBay user picker_joes for images, will remove if asked

Alright. So "Includes Stickers to Customize Clothes!" Are we sticking stickers on clothing? Is that all? It looks like we also get a table, a Stella, and a machine. Maybe more, this is hard to tell. Let's check out the back.

On the back, Stella is wearing a different orange outfit and a different blue top... and wait, what's that down there? DISCO dolls?

...what? It says "Create more custom designs with Studio Fashions!" 

Is that going to be some other design playset we're getting that has to do with the Disco dolls? Because that seems to be the only thing relating to them... why are they on here, how do I get them?! Do I have to make those outfits?! I know I can't make those outfits with "Become a fashion designer like Stella, make sewing sounds, and display your creations!", right?! It says "Other dolls sold separately", but... where what are they

Oh look, contents:

1 Sewing Table, 1 Winx Doll, 1 Skirt, 1 T-shirt, 1 Tube Top, 1 Pair of shoes, 1 sewing machine, 4 dress forms, 4 hangars, 2 sticker sheets, 4 fairy stickers, 1 backdrop (on packaging).

Okay so we know what the sewing table is. The Winx doll is Stella, and the tshirt and skirt is what she's wearing. Looks like we also must get that blue tube top. One pair of shoes is also what she's wearing. We see the sewing machine. What are dress forms???

Those hangars look like they're made of cardboard. Two sticker sheets, four fairy stickers (what is the difference are only the four good enough for fairies) and we see the backdrop that I can't believe they're counting as including.

Unless dress forms is code for 3 disco outfits, I do not understand. Nor do I understand what to do with this playset.

Anyway. The point of this post was mainly to show you guys Disco down there.. and maybe to figure out what this thing does. This wasn't the post I'd been planning, so check back for that in a few days.

Please comment if you think you understand this better than me!

Comparing Jakks Pacific Faces

I went through my dolls lastnight, and decided that since they all have such different faces, I'd take comparison pics for you guys! So here you go. Same bad quality as usual though, sorry.

So we're gonna start with Bloom.

Charmix vs Enchantix
I'm using Enchantix instead of Believix since their faces are identical.

So Charmix Bloom actually has a really, really weird face. I mean it's cute, but it's unlike all the other Bloom faces I own. You'll see what I mean when I go on in this post; it's not the normal budget face.

So differences between the two are pretty obvious-- Enchantix has the "fish lips" like Ariel dolls and some of the older-newer Bratz did. Charmix Bloom has more realistic lips but the top lip is unusually small.

The eyes have glitter eyeshadow on Enchantix and they're generally bigger and more lively. They have more eyelashes too.

Concert vs Charmix
And this is what I mean.

As you can see the eyes are shaped completely differently. Concert's are about ten times more upturned and they're bigger, more lively, while Charmix looks more sleepy almost. The lips on Charmix are slightly smaller then Concert and she has more makeup. They both have two eyelashes on each eye.

Charmix's makeup is also much more purple then any other Bloom I own.

Everyday vs Concert
Remember how I mentioned how surprisingly different the makeup is on these two in my last post? Yeah, well now you can see it.

Concert's upper lip is much bigger then Everyday's and I think it looks better. She also has much less drastic eye makeup, it's barely noticeable.

I also noticed the skin on Concert's was more Stella's color while Everyday's was more the normal Bloom color.

Which of the Bloom faces is your favorite? I think mine is Enchantix.

Believix vs Everyday
I don't own Concert so I can't count her in here-- and Enchantix has the same makeup as Believix, while Charmix has the same as Everyday.

Believix has the lower layer of her eyemakeup a nice yellow and the upper layer a muted pink. Both dolls' lips are the same red.

Believix's eyes are noticeably wider and bigger then Everyday's. She also has more eyelashes. The eyebrows are also shaped differently-- they're slightly longer and getting more into the face on Believix, while on Everyday they're almost more pushed off to the side.

I prefer Everyday's face-- Believix's looks odd to me somehow.

Enchantix vs Everyday
Flora's faces actually interest me a whole lot. They vary between dolls a lot.

Obviously Enchantix's eyes are wider and bigger then Everyday's-- and her makeup is really purple, while on Everyday it's more of a pink. On Charmix it's the same purple-y tone though, but with slightly larger eyes of Everyday's and the rest the same. Sorry I didn't take a picture of that.

The lips are shaped pretty similarly. They both have the fish lips thing I mentioned earlier with Bloom.

Believix vs Enchantix
This is actually what I think is the most interesting face comparison of the entire brand.

When I was out buying Believix, one of the dolls had the face I bought and the other had the face on the right, the Enchantix face.

At the time I thought it was just a fluke, and that the other one was simply a misprint. Little did I know, that mine might be the misprint!

The first few boxes of Believix that I ever saw at ToysRUs all had Floras that looked like mine, but after the time I had seen the second face, all boxes came with the second face. Now Harmonix Floras are coming with that face as well-- it's the new standard, it looks like.

The original has a much softer look for her, her eyes are bigger, and the white of her eyes aren't as bright. It's mainly in the eyes that they differ, the rest is generally the same, apart from the fact that the new one's skin seems a bit more orange, but I think that's just a fluke with my Enchantix one.

Personally I much prefer the original face that they replaced. I wish they had kept it. If you have Believix, which face does yours have?

Believix vs Concert
I didn't include Everyday because it and Concert have the same face.

I really like both these faces on Musa. Believix has extremely light makeup overall, eyes lips and everything-- it's a metallic super light pastel pinkish purple color all over. Her eye makeup is slightly more purple then her lips though.

Concert has significantly smaller eyes. Believix's are a lot taller too, and less wide. Believix's lips are a bit bigger and so are her eyelids.

Same thing with having more eyelashes, and the eyebrow thing with Stella.

I prefer Concert.

Everyday vs Believix

Tecna's faces are actually surprisingly pretty different.

The eyes on Everyday and Believix are shaped differently-- while Everyday goes up at the ends, Believix doesn't.

Believix has much less makeup, which is odd since it's usually the other way around. She also has much more purple-y lips, and her lips are slightly bigger and rounder.

Their eyes are the same color, but they have the same Stella eyebrow thing going on. Everyday's eyes are much more perky and Believix's are more round and sleepy.

I prefer Everyday.

Everyday vs Believix
Aisha's faces are really a hit and miss a lot of the time.

Believix's eyes are wider, which is a surprise considering usually with the exception of Stella the budget lines' eyes are wider then the Deluxe. The shape of Believix's eyes is pretty different, the ends go down more then Everyday's, The eyelids are bigger and more noticeable too, and the eyebrows are a darker color.

Her makeup is a lot brighter. Her lips are a nice purple-y color I really like and her eyeshadow is like a lot lighter and slightly pinker version of it. Everyday has more of a classic pink which I don't think looks very good on her.

Everyday's makeup is extremely faint-- you can barely see it on the eyes. I think this face would be a lot better if it wasn't for those two big locks of hair being pulled back away from it. Looking at City Style they did improve it a lot though.

I prefer the Believix one.

How about you guys? What face is your favorite for each girl?

Thanks for reading, and Merry Christmas!

Review: Jakks Pacific: Harmonix Bloom Doll

Yep, I got her! She's SUPER cute. And I took lots of pictures, which I never do. They're still just as sucky quality, but still. Pictures, since I haven't seen anyone take any yet.

So the Harmonix line is super cute. I went to ToysRUs this morning (I waited all weekend for their stock day!) and they had all four of the line! I was one of the first customers of the day, haha.

From what I could tell in box, Bloom was my favorite, there was something odd about Stella-- I think her outfit was too much of the same color. She was my second favorite though. Flora was really cute but didn't strike me as anything special, but that might just be because I'm not a very big Flora fan. Aisha was super cute too but not as fab as Bloom or Stella.

But of course, as you can tell, I chose Bloom. Mainly because I consistently buy her first out of every line I get. I probably won't be getting another Harmonix doll until January since I spent all my money (and a little bit of my parents'-- I'm in debt now.) on Christmas presents, and won't have more until then. But I'm happy with Bloom! Anyway, let's get started with the review.

HAAAARRMOOOONIIIXXX
This is my bby Bloom. She is the cutest little Winx dolly I own up to date, I've decided. I adore this line. Just. Everything. She's overall super fab and she'll stand on a Monster High stand. 

Now! Starting toe to head!
So her shoes are basically much bigger versions of the Enchantix/Sophix shoes. They're heels just like most all their shoes and they go pretty high up off the ground, it looks sweet. I really love it.

Her train is made out of this amazing material which I think I've had a dress made out of in the past?? It looks nothing like the cheap material used in the stock pictures, it's REALLY nice and soft and gorgeous and shimmery. Her train also obviously goes a bit below her feet, so right now she's standing on it to save me some trouble of rearranging this doll for every single photo I take.

There's really nothing else that comes before her train/shoes and dress, so already onto it.
So her skirt is like Believix Stella's almost? But ten times BETTER. The actual fabric underneath is blue unlike Stella's where it's just white when it should be pink, and there are several layers of this gorgeous stiff tulle that I'm sure has a name but I can't remember it.

She has this pink belt which looks like Morphix, and it has little hearts and stars on it. I wonder if there are different versions of it? I know every girl has it, but hearts and stars only make sense for Bloom and Stella.

"Fire Blade!"
Her shirt is one of my favorite parts of the doll. The light blue main part of it is kinda stiff, but it has these cute sparkles on it. The pink part is pretty much like Believix Musa's pants, the only disappointing part about it is that it's a half-print, meaning it's only like this on the front. On the back it's all the light blue.

She also has that ruffle cerulean blue part, which is the light blue with a ruffle sewn on. It looks super cute, but is also a half-print.

I wouldn't say this is the most accurate-- the colors have been switched around from the show. Pretty much everything white has been turned cerulean blue.

Look, her wings look like stained glass!
The caption pretty much says it all. Put her in front of a window on a table or something and you'll see just how perfectly Jakks does wings. This is amazing. All the colors, tints, sparkles... it's genius design.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
Oh Harmonix. This is the longest hair on a doll that wasn't made as either Rapunzel, or to be based off Rapunzel's long hair I have ever seen in my life. It actually looks a bit better in pictures than it does in person. In person the last couple inches are ratty, so don't brush it. 

In case you didn't hear me the first time. Don't brush it. And don't ignore what I'm saying. Brushing it will most likely create the Rapunzel-esque version of Believix Bloom's hair and YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THAT AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

I imagine cutting off the last couple inches would make it look better though, oo I might try that. I really wanna see someone straighten it... it would be WAY long. It's already down to about halfway between her knees and ankles-- it'd get probably past her feet with straightening. I don't have the guts though since all I know how to do is boiling water and I'm not sure how well that would work.

Princess Bloom, to the rescue!
She has THE cutest little crown. Not much else to say about it other then that it's adorbs, and it's shaped perfectly. It has a little seashell on the front and it's this gel looking pearly blue.


I tried comparing the makeup on it and Believix/Enchantix, but obviously the pictures didn't come out very well. Basically Harmonix's makeup IS different-- it's a lot more shimmery and more pink, and her eye makeup has a tinge of purple that original Bloom's completely pink eye makeup didn't have at all. Harmonix is on the left and Believix/Enchantix on the right, if it wasn't obvious.

Bloom Magical Membership Card #2!
This is her Magical Membership card. It doesn't "transform" like the other one, and it seems to be a lot lower quality. I wonder if the Sirenix ones will transform or not? Anyway, on this one it feels like it's made out of cardboard. Glossy cardboard.

It's fine though, since I honestly don't think the Magical Membership cards were anyone's favorite part of the dolls anyway.

"What do you need, Princess Bloom?"
 Her brush doubles as a Sirenix box. I wish they had painted theirs like Simba did, but honestly it doesn't really matter since Jakks beat Simba's Harmonix dolls on a million other levels instead.

On the inside is a molded Sirenix guardian. You can't really see it in my pictures, but the head and torso is on the top part of the star and the tail is on the bottom part. Very cute. It opens and closes, and the bottom side of it is a brush.

"We need help managing our long, ratty hair!"
And look, she can even hold it! Just like in the show where she's talking to it. It's a little large-- it's the same size as her head. That thing would be a pain to hold if it was really that big.

Overall? In comparison to the old dolls, I'd rate her a 10/10-- but in comparison to normal dolls, I'd give her about a 9/10. Super cute! The only complaints I have are the color changes they pulled on a couple parts of the outfit, but it's really nothing. I love this doll, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to buy some new Winx Club dolls. I'd say the only major factor that I could see stopping some people from buying it is the hair, but if you really like the rest of her straightening shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks for reading! What do you think of this doll? Leave you opinion in the comments!

Also. Any advice on some new stuff I could post? With episode reviews not being an option anymore (unless people want me to do reviews of old episodes) I'm down to news and doll reviews. I definitely need another thing I can post all the time. Any suggestions?

PS: My heart goes out to all the families involved in the Connecticut shooting this morning. It's absolutely awful that this happened.

Photo belongs to eBay seller yesterchest. Will remove if asked.

OMG, screaming... again! I actually saw this this morning but couldn't post until now. :P

What do you guys think?! I love how they changed the colors-- I didn't like that in the cartoon the pink was dark and the blue was light, so happy they switched that. Looks so much better.

Her hair is adorable and perfect! Too happy! Love the colors, the design... everything! I really dislike this outfit in the cartoon but it looks fab on the doll!

Who do you want to see next!? Assuming they picked up an entire shipment it should be either Aisha, Musa or Tecna! So excited!

*NOT MINE*

OMG OMG OMG, SCREAMING!!!

I can't believe I found this... was checking eBay recent listed for Winx Club, and look what I found!

These things... are amazing. The sudden jump in quality is amazing. I LOVE it. I can't believe they're already out, too! Where were they found!?!? Time for my to go Winx doll hunting!

Flora's dress is AMAZINGLY detailed and gorgeous, and the new makeup on her I'm totally loving. I'm wondering if Harmonix will have new makeup too, and they just didn't in the promo pictures?

Stella looks GORGEOUS! Those two curled parts in the front, the gorgeous dress, the new eyeshadow... I love it, just got a new favorite Stella doll.

What do you guys think?! Are you loving them?! Who are you excited to see next!?

Review: Jakks Pacific: Concert Musa Doll

I've actually had Concert Musa for a long time but I never realized I hadn't done a review on her. Kinda sad. So here you go, you get one!

Concert Musa is really nice. Quality, prettiness, everything. I adore her. This coming from someone who is debating not buying most the Concert line at all because I didn't like that they made a band in Season 4.

So to start off, we'll go toe-to-head. Because that's the more exciting way.

Her boots. I looove her boots. (they also fit Monster High pretty well, for anyone wondering about that.) They're this nice navy color and they have little buckle detailing. Sure it's not painted, but you get my point. It's still just as fabulous. 

Then her tights aren't as neon blue as they are in the stock picture, but that's probably a good thing. They're a nice material and they somehow manage not to ride up or down. It's like, a small dolly miracle. (so keeping that phrase and using it from now on.

Her skirt is super cute and also manages not to ride up or down. Once again, we have a small dolly miracle on our hands. I love the pattern they used for it and the material feels fantastic. The belt isn't that special, since only two different belts were used in the line-- three girls shared one, but it's nice. 

Her shirt and jacket are connected, which I've seen a lot of people get REALLY upset over. I honestly don't mind though. It's fine. The shirt is nice and striped, shows off her belly-button and the jacket is more pink than red in person. It's a pretty nice material too but-- uh oh. 

Uh oh uh oh. It stains.

Yeah, I discovered that a few days ago. That's actually what motivated me to do the review. There's serious staining on her arms from it. I don't really mind since I plan to keep her in this outfit but I know it could be a big deal for people that like to change outfits. If any of you have her, does yours' have staining? 

I had originally uploaded this photo without the big black bar on Musa's torso, but I figured some people might be offended if I did. Even though it's a doll. So here you go, black bar included.

That's what it looks like. It seems to be worst at the shoulder like the picture I took, but it's all over the arms as well. I suggest a long sleeved sweater, Musa baby.

Looking past the staining, the coat is cute. It has two navy strips on it and that looks nice.

She also has a cute little grey necklace. It's not the most fabulous necklace I've ever seen but it does the job, wouldn't you say so?

THE FACE ON THIs DOLL... I love it I love it!! It looks just like Old Musa, from Seasons 1 and 2! That means for anyone wanting to make Charmix customs... this is your girl. <3 She has this cute pink lipstick and the cutest little eyes I have ever seen gah Musa I love you.

Do you see the adorable-ness that is this doll's face? And how bad my cell phone pictures come out?

Her eyes somehow look green in this picture but her eyes look nothing like green in real life. Really they're like this awesome midnight blue. And her lips are a bit darker in person, and more shimmery. I love the shimmery lipstick on this girl.

She also has these cute silver stud earrings on that are totally cute and like the necklace-- while they're not superfab, they do the job.

The hair on this doll is supercute too. Her bangs are perfect in every way-- they're straight, hang down perfectly, all that cute doll bangs stuff you can imagine.

Her pigtails hang down perfectly too. Also have I mentioned I love the color Jakks uses for Musa's hair? It's this gorgeous midnight blue that is totally Musa an totally superfab.

Wow, the lighting in this picture is completely different from the rest! But isn't Musa amazing?

So overall I'd rate this doll about a 6.9 out of 10. I love her, I really do... (as you can tell), but the staining all over her arms really breaks it for me. She's still amazing and I'll still keep loving her forever, but the staining... eh. I could live without it.

Thanks for reading! I plan to include pictures like this in all my doll reviews from now on, so keep an eye out. ;)

New Jakks Pacific Harmonix Dolls


So Jakks Pacific's official Facebook posted these!! So glad to see them. They're expected out January 2013.

Bloom is def my favorite from the line. They did the top absolutely perfectly, and well... did everything absolutely perfectly. Too in love. I already went over her in my previous post about MagixJourney posting her, so I won't go on too much about her.

Stella!!! Her wings, her everything! I wish they had made the top part of her shirt white like it is in the show but this works fine too. <3 I LOVE how they did her bangs too, those are perfect!! Her hair isn't in the high ponytail like it is in the show, but I mean how hard is it to put it in one. I think it'll make her look tons better. She's probably my third favorite of the line.


Flora is my second favorite of the line--  absolutely adore her! Her WINGS (I love the wings on these dolls obviously) and her hair... while it's not accurate, it's GORGEOUS!! I can't even decide if I want to pull it back and braid it like I was planning on doing if they didn't do it accurately @u@ Everything about her is perfect, no questions! Love love love.

Aisha is very nice <3 But there's something odd going on-- her wings are much too tall/wide, they're unbalanced. they need to chop off that very top part, because how it is right now it looks odd. I'm sure it'll look better in person though, no question. I love that they accurately did her crown, and the bodice!! I also still ADORE Jakks' deluxe Aisha face. It's one of my very favorites. Totally excited to get this doll.


Now there was something weird going on with the line up of this assortment-- apparently this is all there is, since on Jakks' page it said collect all four. Personally? I don't believe it. They know that Tecna and Musa are just as important characters as the others, and they would jump at the chance to make them too. Plus why make one full transformation line, and one not completed? Doesn't make sense, does it?

I think they're going to be exclusives to either ToysRUs and Target. Since there's no way they'd skip out on making them completely, it's not like they sold bad, they didn't. And it makes sense since they didn't show exclusive items at last Toy Fair either, the stores probably didn't want them to. 

What do you think?

Review: Jakks Pacific: Everyday Bloom and Flora Dolls

Winx didn't air this weekend, danggit. I was so sad! I'm not sure if it's supposed to air next week either. :( Oh well. I guess I'll just buy Winx dolls to keep up my Winx spirit...! Here's a doll review in the meantime.

I've decided to do these reviews as I get products, since it takes me forever to complete lines, haha. I still haven't bought Charmix Flora. :P Might have to do that next weekend. 

Anyway, a couple weeks ago I picked up these two from my local Target! When I went they had these two and Musa. Personally I really like them! Here's my review.

BLOOM

Honestly I wasn't expecting Bloom to be all that great since none of the pictures have done her justice, but in person she's actually a really cute doll! The face is similar to my Charmix Bloom's face, but she has taller eyes and fuller lips, just slightly. I really like how they do that-- how every doll's face is just a little different. :)

Her shirt is cute. Isn't my favorite part, but it's not bad at all. The only thing I wish they'd done differently is that I wish they'd made it a turtle neck like it is in the show. They don't seem to want to do any turtleneck shirts, it's odd. They skimped out on Charmix Bloom as well. Oh well, it looks fine anyway, haha.

Her jean skirt and socks are my favorite parts! The jean skirt is lighter then it is in the show but personally I think it looks even cute this way. At first I thought the socks were a little short compared to her giant thigh-high things in the show, but looking at them not they look good. Her shoes are cute too. :) 

As far as hair goes... it's like Believix Bloom, don't brush it. It doesn't look too bad out of the box though. I wish Jakks would give Bloom her little strip of bangs at the front but I see why they don't. It'd be a pain in the neck.

Overall I'd give this doll a 8 out of 10, she really serves her purpose as 'Everyday Bloom' well. I love her!




FLORA

Flora's gorgeous! This is my favorite Flora I own yet. I'm definitely glad I bought her. Her face is absolutely amazing... it looks just like Flora from the show! I know I've said that about other Floras... but this one takes the cake.  It's really different from her other faces, it looks older and more sophisticated.

She's a little different from the stock picture-- the green necklace seen here is pink in person, and her skirt is a tad longer. But other then that it's spot-on. The hair is like Bloom's, once again, don't brush it. That's a common problem with Jakks dolls, but if you don't mind how it comes then it doesn't really matter anyway. I don't mind.

Her shirt and skirt are the same slightly icky fabric as on Charmix Bloom-- but on Flora it's much better. It's more noticeable but it doesn't feel as icky or anything. Honestly I don't mind it. 

The shoes and socks on this doll... OMG, love. Why do I have such a thing for shoes and socks on Jakks dolls?? These shoes are adorable! They're bigger and clunkier then normal heels and it looks adorable and cartoony. The socks are the exact right length as well. 

Overall I'd give this doll an 8 out of 10, just like Bloom. She's just like Flora, even though there are a couple little details that didn't turn out well. She's adorable too.

Keep an eye out for more Winx reviews, as I might be picking up more dolls soon. ;) Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave a comment.

Also, Halloweens coming up soon... what are you dressing up as? I might try to be a Winx girl and make my own costume, hehe. Those official ones are just too small for me now. I wish they'd make teen costumes.
