Witty Toys Official Mermaid and 'Sweet Fairy' Images

I was going to do just episode reviews this week, but a friend of mine requested I check these out and post my opinion on them too. So here you guys go!

http://magixjourney.blogspot.com/2013/04/winx-club-sirenix-mermaid-and-sweet.html There's the images.

 

Witty Toys released their official promos of their new Mermaid dolls. We saw these designs years ago on those old Sirene books, it's nice we're finally getting dolls of them. It's too weird they're using Jakks heads though... I'm thinking the final dolls could have them, but it still doesn't make sense to me.

Going left to right, my opinions on them:

Aisha

She's probably my least favorite of the group, she's not bad or anything but her tail is very simple and plain and I'm not big on how bright her tail is. Her top doesn't have any special stuff to it either, only that one frill. But she's not bad. I'd probably rate her 6/10. Nice, but plain.

Bloom

I surprisingly really like Bloom, which is odd since I never liked that design in the Sirene books. The color they made her tail is perfect and I love those little frills coming off it at the top. It's simple, but with a little extra flair which really improves the design as a whole. I'd give her a total 7/10.

Stella

I think Stella's probably my favorite. I'm impressed they kept the oddly tan skintone from the Sirene books, it looks really good! I like the little star at the top of her tail and how she has short frills coming off all of it at the seams. Though I don't particularly like that one piece of fabric hanging off, it doesn't contribute to the design at all. Her top is a little plain as well but I think that it's balanced out by the super busy tail. I'd give her a total 7.5/10 or so.

Flora

I'm not too big on Flora. I like the frills coming out everywhere but they're upstaged by that bright green stuff on her top and arms. I think it would've worked out better if they hadn't had any on her top and just made it like Bloom's but pink, and then kept the stuff on her arms but made it pink. The bright green is too overpowering though. I'd give her a 6.5/10 or so.

What do you guys think? I wish they'd made a Musa and Tecna too, since those two have amazing Sirene designs. But I'm happy they went and made these anyway. If they came to America (which they won't, I'm just saying that like 'if they were readily available in any store') I'd probably buy at least Bloom and Stella, maybe the other two too.

'Sweet Fairy' limited doll is pretty nice too, but I'm not too big on her. I really like her outfit, but not with wings and powers... that's not a fairy outfit. That's like an odd, girly date night outfit. I like it, but not with wings and all.

Speaking of wings. Those are actually pretty nice ones. Nothing special though, just average.

I don't really have much to say about this doll. I'd probably buy her if she came to America (same thing) but I wouldn't like her as much as some of the other, not limited dolls. Overall I'd probably rate her about a 6.5 or so out of 10.

What do you guys think of her?

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

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?

What Fits Jakks Pacific Winx Club Dolls?

Okay, be honest guys. Who doesn't love redressing their dolls? But I've noticed Winx Club dolls are kinda hard to redress.. they're oddly skinny, have small busts, and super long legs. So I decided to do an experiment!

I pulled several different dolls that I had on hand and tried their clothing on Winx Club. And these are the results! Tecna here is gonna be modeling for us.

MATTEL'S HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL DOLLS

I decided to start with what I thought would most likely fit.  These dolls were released when the High School Musical movies were coming out and they look about the size of current Skipper. They're pretty short, but I figured it would be worth a try because of their smaller bust and about the same size torso.

Hey, this worked pretty well!

And I was right! It fit really well! Now maybe if I could rip off that ugly fluffball on the front it could be someone's permanent outfit. It's slightly loose at the waist-- but it's not like it's falling down or anything. It's just like if you tried to pull it down it would come off easily.

I don't have any more clothing of this size to try on... but I'd say generally, this was a success! This should fit on all Winx girls, so if you're looking for new clothing for them be sure to pick up some of these if you see them.

BRATZ AND MOXIE GIRLZ DRESSES

Bratz pants.. I didn't even wanna try. You don't understand how painful it is taking tight pants off a Bratz doll with their rubber legs. I never want to experience that again. So all you get is a dress, since I know for a fact shirts would be too small.

It was doubtful that these would fit, since Bratz are significantly smaller in the torso then Winx Club, but I figured it was worth a try. Let's see how it turned out...

Tecna's feeling a little cold.

Woops. We're gonna need some pants under there, because Tecna's showing a little bit too much leg. What is a dress on a Bratz doll, is a shirt on a Winx Club doll. Buuuuut... it is a shirt that fits! As long as you have some you know, pants. 

So let's try a Moxie Girlz dress!

I guess it works?

It's slightly longer then Bratz which is a plus, and it fits better two, It's slightly loose around the hips though, but generally the same results as Bratz-- you're gonna need some pants.

SIMBA/WITTY WINX CLUB DOLLS

Yep... the European dolls! I decided to take a chance, even though I was pretty sure it wouldn't fit since the torsos on those things are tiny, but hey, who knows? Let's give it a try.

Whoa.... this actually worked!

NOT what I was expecting, but this came out perfectly! I probably should've used Flora, but. Hey, Tecna works too. She looks surprisingly cute in this.

The shirt just barely fit, but it did! The boots are kinda flaring outwards in the front, but it's not that noticeable and I don't think that it really matters that much. I really like how Jakks look in this! Hey Jakks... if you're reading this, take a look at this! Next time try to include just as many details as Simba does so that yours look just as good in their own outfits!

Okay, so if Simba fits on Jakks... let's see if Jakks fits on Simba!

Nope.

My attempt at putting Tecna's Everyday outfit on Believix Flora was quickly defeated, by the fact that I couldn't get these tights over Flora's rubber legs. I'm sure somebody could... but as I mentioned earlier, getting anything over rubber legs that's not a skirt is horrible. So I just gave up and decided to try it without the tights.

That's better!

It fits, but it looks a little... odd. The stomachs on Simba dolls are really small, so her shirt and skirt have come together to look like a dress. Maybe this would work better with pants or something, I don't know.

The shoes fit perfectly though! It was a little hard to get on her, but I did manage it and they look pretty good.

Overall I'd say their clothing can fit on each other, but Jakks on Simba has a few little weird parts.

BARBIE CLOTHING

While Barbie and Winx Club are definitely closest in general shape and height, that doesn't mean their clothing is gonna fit. Barbie is much bigger in the bust which I think is probably gonna cause some problems, but hey, let's give it a try.

...not really.

That doesn't really work. Not sure if my picture shoes it or not, but the straps are way up high. This would have to be altered a whole lot to really work, especially considering right now it looks like Tecna's left breast is falling out of the dress. 

MONSTER HIGH BOYS

Monster High girls I know for a fact won't work. I tried one and I couldn't get it up the bust. It was horrendous. But since the boys are a bit bigger, maybe they'll work? Let's see...

Where's Timmy, this is what he should be wearing!

Uh... kind of. I guess. She looks really, really stuffy though, and the moment I lifted her up the shoes fell right off. The pants kind of fit but they're bunchy in parts, and... as I mentioned before, it just looks really, really stuffy.

But I guess if you're into that it works. Right?

So out of all this... I'd say the two that fit Winx Club Jakks Pacific dolls best would be the High School Musical outfits, and the Simba Winx. Bratz/Moxie Girls work too with pants, and Barbie would too with alterations. 

Well, thanks for reading! If you have any questions feel free to ask. :) Which look do you like best on Tecna? Besides her original that is.

Italian Harmonix Dolls and New Season 5 Clip: Toxic Power

It's been a pretty good week for Winx news. Not too much, but not too little. ;) Then again, when is there ever too much Winx news?

First off, MagixJourney found an image of the new Italian Harmonix dolls! I think they're by Simba, but it might be Giochi. Not sure. It was found here. :)

Personally, I think they're pretty cute! Not the best, but not the worst. I really like Stella and Flora, but I wish they would try harder to do accurate hair. The Italian Believix dolls had really accurate hair (minus Bloom), so wondering what's going on here. Should've at least given Stella bangs, she does have them in her Harmonix transformation. Oh well, it's not that bad! It looks fine like this too anyway. :) 

The other main complaints I have with these is for one, Aisha's coloring. Why is her dress blue? In the show it's green and a little blue, where's that pink coming from, too? Bloom's wings look a little weird next to the others, but it's not that bad.

But really, what's going on with Aisha's outfit? The others have minor outfit problems, but none as off as Aisha's. But they're still quite nice dolls, I'll probably import a Stella for myself.

Also this week we got a new clip on Nick's site for the third episode, titled Toxic Power! Be sure to check out BelieveInWinx and MagixJourney posts on it as well. ;)

It was a pretty nice clip, but man is Tritannus psycho. Who yells "ITS TOXIC!" then starts laughing?! Icy's pretty smart though, trying to get Tritannus to work with them. She knows he's probably their only way out of these prisons.

Not much else to say about this clip, it wasn't that interesting. I'm sure tomorrow's episode will be though!

Also, I picked up some Charmix dolls from ToysRUs this weekend. Once I get Flora I'll do a full review. :)

Be sure to check this blog tomorrow, I'll be doing an episode review on the third episode then, be sure to take a look!
