Could these be the Winx's wishes?

Sorry you guys don't get an episode review today. It's taking me longer than usual. So instead you get this.

On Nick's latest Winx Club quiz, Who's Your Winx Monster Match? (here's a link! http://www.nick.com/quizzes/winx-club-whos-your-winx-monster-match-quiz.html), one of the questions is about Sirenix wishes.

Now whether you want to admit, Nick's quizzes... are the kind of super obvious quizzes, where let's say it's to find out what Winx you're most like-- it asks you what color hair you have. Just, like, THOSE quizzes. You should all know what I mean.

Which makes me wonder... could these options be the Winx Club's Sirenix wishes? Or something Nick made up? The quiz covers four fairies, basically. Bloom, Flora, Aisha, and Tecna. 

These answers aren't so obvious I can easily match them each up to a girl, but here's my guess:

An end to world hunger; Tecna

An end to all fighting; Bloom

To fix global warming; Flora

I'd wish for the safety of my family; Aisha

Bloom and Tecnas were the main challenge. I wasn't sure which one went with who, so who knows on that one.

These wishes... don't seem very good to me. Aisha's seems like it could work, but the others? No way. They're all way too big things, plus if you end all fighting... what are you gonna do in Season 6, anyway?

But you never know. This is one of "those" quizzes.

What do you guys think? Do you think these could be the Winx Club's wishes? (also, PS. I got the Devourer for my result! What'd you guys get?)

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!!! :) 

Review: Season 5: Episode 13, Sirenix *SPOILERS*

So this episode was pretty interesting. It's about time we got something different then the repetitive 'let's find a jewel' game.

So basically we start off with-- a new theme song! Is it just like a preview for this episode? Because it's not in sync with the music like all previous theme songs have been and it seems to only contain clips from this episode. Oh well-- it's cute, though.

Anyway, after that we see (not in exact order, I don't remember exact order) Daphne being tortured even more. That seems to be a recurring thing. It's getting kinda old. I'm tired of seeing her pain. But she still thinks her mother and father are stuck as ice statues and she finally spills about Sirenix, which is apparently hanging out in Lake Roccaluce (OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT), or at least the source of Sirenix is.

Meanwhile the Winx girls are hanging out in the simulator trying to connect with the ocean to get Sirenix but Bloom can't connect. Dear Bloom, I love you, but your character is becoming boring at this point and giving you so much screentime in a season with little to no character development is not helping my opinion of it. So basically we leave and go talk to our Sirenix book.

 

I guess the Winx girls solved all those riddles for nothing because Tritannus proceeds to go down to the lake and suck some Sirenix out. Then he creates an oil monster and starts draining the lake, but the selkies come out of nowhere with this seventh selkie that's for lake Roccaluce and attack him. Together they're stronger, but still not strong enough for this over-powered angsty teenage merboy.

So the Winx girls are trying to figure out where Sirenix is, and the book just says like, 'look inside yourself' and then quite literally disappears into thin air.

After tons of trouble Bloom figures out that it's Lake Roccaluce and goes there. We arrive and see Tritannus wreckage and are like "whoa no tritannus got here." Then we see his oil monster and Musa, Flora, and Tecna agree to fight it while we look for Tritannus and the selkies. (wow, did they seriously just shove those three off like that, the unimportant ones of the season seriously??)

We find them and fight for a few minutes but then Tritannus blasts the selkies off and Stella runs after them. That leaves Bloom and Aisha as the only ones fighting him. Aisha eventually ties him up and Bloom hits him a couple times and so now we have him tied in a merman lump on the ground, but he mentions how the lake is draining and Bloom demands to know where Daphne is but there's no time to question him and save the lake so they end up letting him go to save the lake. (JEEZ BLOOM, WHATS MORE IMPORTANT AT THIS POINT ONE LAKE OR THE INFINITE OCEAN.)

So Tritannus breaks the Morphix holding him back and swims away. Meanwhile the Winx girls have all croweded around the source of Sirenix and are holding hands and Bloom finally is connected with the ocean, so the lake refills (yeah, I honestly don't understand how that works either) and their Sirenix helpers come out (hey it's the first time we get to see Aisha's) and use their magic to make one big Sirenix helper.

At the same time this is happening Tritannus rips Daphne's Sirenix straight out of her body and gives it to the Trix, who then obtain their Sirenix.

So the big Sirenix helper with the Winx opens the portal to the infinite ocean saying they can go in now and they go in and then they transform into Sirenix. Have I mentioned I love Sirenix. I know a lot of people don't but I do.

So we get in the infinite ocean and our hair changes color

our hair changes color

NOT EVEN FOR A REASON

IT JUST DOES

HELP ME

I'M DYING

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN

AND WHY IS STELLA'S SUCH A HIDEOUS GREEN COLOR

WHY DIDN'T WE GET AN EXPLANATION

WHY ARE THEY SUCH UGLY COLORS

now that I've had a moment to process that.

So now we're in the infinite ocean and we kinda look around for a moment until the Queen Sirenix helper tells us that darkness has entered the ocean as well and Bloom has this way too serious for her hair moment where she's like "Tritannus, GRR"

So basically after that Tritannus comes into the ocean and turns a rock into an oily rock. And that's the end of the episode.

EXCEPT, earlier in it they mentioned that each Winx girl gets a wish with their Sirenix... if we use this to solve all our problems like Stella's parents and Musa's mother I will just scream IT CANT BE THAT EASY, I KNOW THINGS ARE EASY THIS SEASON BUT NO

THE ONLY WISHES I WILL ACCEPT ARE AISHA FOR NABU AND BLOOM FOR DAPHNE

NO ONE ELSE

I hope the other wishes get used like in battle like someone gets super injured and so another has to use their wish to save them and so on. Because we cannot just solve all our problems like that no.

Overall I liked this episode but I wanted to scream twice. The next episode preview we're back on Earth and we see 2D Sirenix, which looks surprisingly really cool.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to share your opinions on the episode in the comments. 

Review: Season 5: Episode 7, The Shimmering Shells *SPOILERS*

This week's episode was good! I think it's my favorite of the Season so far. :) There was only one or two things I didn't really like.

First we see where we left off the the last episode. Remember that shadow?

Well... it was Lenny. Bajeezuz Lenny, you make a large shadow. Anyway, she bonds with Aisha and becomes her bonded selkie. (Looks like their names are selkies, not Pescix. Darnnit-- Selkie is a different species.) A little cheesy of a cut scene as you can see with Stella's version below, but hey, it wasn't any better with the pixies.

We see Musa, Tecna and Flora examining the cave the girls are about to go in and say that it looks confusing. I'm a little confused, mainly because that was the end of their magical reality thing.... what was the use in that? Oh well. It wasn't bad or anything. The girls actually going see it and say something similar. They enter and see Tritannus has mutant oiled it too... danggit Tritannus, you really went out of your way to get everywhere, didn't you. 

So they enter, Lenny gets knocked out, and then the Winx girls get knocked out. Then starts the Inner Problems sequence from the preview clip. It was solved really easily-- Aisha realized Nabu wouldn't say stuff like that and told the other girls it was a trick. The other girls realize that, and then the 'Inner Problems' sequence ends. A little disappointing-- they didn't prove self-confidence at all with it, really. Only Aisha did. It was nice seeing the nightmares though. As mention in my post about the preview clip, I really liked Stella's.

They then proceeded to do something with some Shimmering Shells that really didn't help them at all... they just started telling them a riddle to find the gem of self confidence which I really didn't hear, so I don't have an opinion on it. (I though they were supposed to get it here though?) The girls get home to Alfea and discuss the riddle. We see Stella's Sirenix guardian-- first time we've seen one! Looks like they're not the selkies, like most people thought they'd be. I really like that they didn't go the cute route with their designs, they decided to do pretty instead. Anyway, Stella asks her to solve the riddle and of course she says no. Because I mean what kind of guardian would she be if she said yes. Stella then realizes the answer on her own, it's on Solaria so they decide to head to Solaria.

We see a little bit with Bloom and Sky talking about him and Diaspro and he tells her she was super boring to talk to. Woohoo Sky. I wonder if Diaspro will come back this Season after that... doubt it. It was probably just for the fans that time.

Bloom gets a call from her parents about pollution spreading on Earth... that's Tritannus' doing. He needed more oil. He said that earlier. I just forgot to mention it haha.

The group then splits up-- Bloom, Musa, and Tecna go to Earth to stop Tritannus and Stella, Flora, and Aisha go to Solaria to find the Gem of Self Confidence.

I really liked both these parts! 

On Earth Icy makes some oil workers throw oil into the ocean for Tritannus, and he absorbs it. They go on like that for a while. Wait...

THERE ARE SOME MERZOMBIE TRITANNUS MINIONS BEHIND THEM I ASSUME THEYRE NEREUS AND LIGEIA BUT WAIT WHAT, THEYRE FLOATING HOW DO THEY FLOAT WHAT.

Floating merzombies aside (never thought I'd say that phrase) the Winx arrive and transform into Harmonix, while Sky who came with them struggles to work his sword which he has forgotten how to use due to his memory loss. Oh, Sky. I do like that the memory loss isn't taking up much of the plot though. They realize it's not what to focus on.

Their attacks are so much nicer then Believix, ooh! They're still not as good as Magic Winx or Enchantix attacks, but MUCH better then Believix. For some reason when they got Believix they got ridiculously weaker. Who knows why. 

Long story short, the girls defeat Icy and then Sky has another memory flash thing... of the pendant of Eraklyon GET OUT PENDANT OF ERAKLYON. MY GOD ITS GETTING ANNOYING... but I don't know what that memory flash even did for him, it couldn't have restored his memory right?

Anyway, on Solaria, Stella meets her bonded Selkie-- Eliris. I think that's how you spell that. Gatekeeper of the Solaria oceans... which Tritannus took the powers of earlier in the episode. Looks like they're each getting the Gatekeeper of their planet. That's okay. I like that Eliris isn't prissy like you'd expect Stella's to be. She's a normal person. Er, selkie.

They then go to an underwater cavern with a shield in it, that was spreading up light to the top of the ocean. But then... a mutant jellyfish arrives! It's from when Tritannus polluted Solaria. It apparently has the powers to turn people to stone... because it turned Flora to stone! (Yes I was right, that statue in the preview was Flora!) The jellyfish comes after Aisha and Stella then, but Stella grabs the shield and uses it to send the attack back at the monster. 

She then points it at Flora... and she gets turned back? That and the pendant thing were the two things that bothered me this episode. Why'd that turn her back? I mean, I don't care if they bring her back easy as casting a spell on her, but how does a shield help? Stella then says that she thinks the Gem of Self Confidence was the gem in the shield, and it was. It then appears in each of the girls' Sirenix boxes

. 

That's pretty much the end of the episode... in the next episode preview we see the Winx go to Melody! Woohoo, it's very pretty. (I guess those 8-13 rumored episode descriptions are true.., waiting to post them until we know for sure though.) But Musa gets turned into a beast! 

...wait, didn't we just do that with Tecna? Oh well. It was fun the first time. Sure it'll be the second time. I don't understand what's up with Musa's monster form though. It doesn't look anything like Musa. It's like a weird merzombie blob dog. 

That's it for this episode's review, overall I'd give it about an 8 out of 10. :) I liked it! Be sure to check back next week for the next review, on The Ruby Reef!

Icy Sirenix, New Preview Clip, and Harmonix Clips

Man, a lot of stuff to stuff into one article, but it all came out so close to each other so they ended up together.

First, a new poster came out that includes Sirenix Icy! What do you guys think?

Personally, I feel like parts of it are really nice, but other don't work so well... like, I really love the stuff on her hair, face, and arms, but the jumpsuit(??) looks a little odd. 

But maybe she'll have Sirenix-looking tights on the legs?? Who knows. I don't really like the muk look of it though, it kinda looks like she fell in some oil. I know they were probably going for that, but you know what I mean. It doesn't work that well for clothing.

I absolutely adore the blue lipstick and makeup though, that's a giant improvement. Makes her look much more evil then before.

Be sure to check out MagixJourney's article on it, and MagicOfWinxClub's article on it! They reported it before me. :) And here is the source of this poster!

Also new in the Winx world, is a preview clip for the next episode! It shows Princess Krystal bringing Diaspro in to help Sky regain his memories. Bad move there, Krystal... that wasn't the smartest thing.

I don't really think she had bad intentions, but boy did she mess up. Eek. And Sky, why are you so trusting of Diaspro when you were reluctant to talk to Bloom about your past at all??? What!? 

Watch the clip here, on MagixJourney's Youtube!

Lastly, a new commercial came out for Harmonix dolls from Simba/Giochi/Witty/that European company, but it doesn't show off the dolls as much as it does Harmonix. They should advertise new Seasons like this, this got me pumped for Harmonix. Much more then for the dolls. :P

These clips were beautiful! Love Harmonix, definitely one of my favorite transformations of theirs. It's so pretty! But I still hold my old opinion of it being hard to fight in, I mean look at it. ;) Still very gorgeous, though.

You can watch the ad here on BelieveInWinx's Youtube!

Thanks for reading, and be sure to check back Sunday for my next episode review!! Assuming they air it, unlike last week. ;)

Brand Licensing Europe: 2D Musa, Tecna, Aisha Sirenix

And looks like we get 2D art of those three, too! Glad we are, it was kind of obnoxious how it was just Bloom, Stella and Flora.

These are from Brand Licensing Europe's Netbook for September/October.

I think out of the 2D Sirenix in general my favorites are Aisha and Bloom. They both came out really well. The other did too, I just mean I like them especially. :P

Musa looks really good, too! And Tecna's hair is awesome. and I really like the contrast between her shirt and her tights, that worked well.

Who are your favorites in 2D Sirenix? Share in the comments what you think!

PS: Did you guys notice the new look on the blog? It's time for Halloween soon!

Review: Season 5: Episode 5, Tecna the Robot *SPOILERS*

Today's episode wasn't my favorite-- but it wasn't bad. Here's my review!

First off, we have Bloom trying to jog Sky's memory. It seemed to be going pretty good-- well, Sky still wasn't remembering anything, but Bloom seemed to be in a fairly good mood, which is something really rare in plots like this. :P Of course until Sky decided that it was useless since nothing was helping.

Then, I can't remember if it came before or after, but we got Princess Crystal trying to heal Sky. I like her. I like that she's not just the usual jerky brat like all the other love rivals are in this show. Not to say I don't adore out jerky brats-- but it's a nice change, isn't it?

But then of course Sky still won't remember, because there's a "barrier blocking Crystal's healing"... it was the pendant what. Get over your pendant Sky. You lost it, it's gone. That's it. No more. Groan. It could've have meant that much.

I did crack up over his little phone conversation with King Erindor, though. That was hilarious.

We also get to see Nereus and Queen Ligeia trying to find Tritannus, and Lenny(?) following them. They find him, he turns Nereus into one of his demon sea-mutants and then he demands information on Sirenix from Ligeia. She tells him Dafne/Daphne was the last Sirenix fairy, then he zaps her into a demon sea-mutant too.

 

Gosh Tritannus. Evil or not they're your family why are you turning them into ugly zombie mermen. And how did you turn Ligea from a female mermaid to a male mer-zombie? Gosh darnnit, Tritannus. I don't like your mer-zombies. Get rid of them. You should know this is only going to cause Neptune getting all angry at you and coming after you. ((Not to mention I was in love with Ligea's design.. why'd she have to get mutated too darn it.))

 Then it shows the Winx searching for The Sirenix Book-- Timmy and Tecna have worked out a new invention that should help them find it. But the Trix come and mess with her phone... causing her to find this creepy book.

As soon as she opens it... BOOM Tecna's a robot!! Poor Tecna. She finally gets her own little story/plot and it spans over what felt like six or seven minutes. I wish it had been the main focus of the episode instead of the mixture we got, she had quite a cool design. See the bottom of the article.

The robot wasn't even exactly evil-- it didn't try to really hurt the girls. It just started trashing the library looking for the Sirenix book. That lasted a couple minutes, but then the girls figured out it was her phone that was cursed and so they pulled it out of her robot self, causing her to turn back to normal. That was about it, for this episode. Oh, except!!

At the end it showed Tritannus talking to Icy about how he wanted her to go after Dafne/Daphne to find out more about Sirenix. That should be fun.

The next episode preview sounded pretty sweet though, with the whole competition thing going on. Minus the rainbow unicorn of course. That thing doesn't need to be there. 

Overall I'd say it was a pretty good episode, but there were a few minor complaints. Be sure to check back next week for the review for the next episode!

Total Licensing/Total Licensing Italy: Winx Club Images and Articles

From Total Licensing Magazine.

Total Licensing Italy September is out... and includes Winx!

First we've got some sort of fashion sketch-style images with this. I'm not 100% sure what exactly it is, so I'm just linking it instead of posting the image. 

http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/21041167#/21041167/2

I'm totally in love with them. I've always thought fashion sketches were gorgeous, and seeing Winx... aaahh!!! They may only be slightly stylized to look like fashion sketches, but they still are. ;)

Then in Total Licensing Magazine Fall 2012, we've got official 2D Sirenix images!! They're what's to the side of this article here. ;) It's only Bloom, Stella and Flora, but still!

Here's the source: http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/4722a369#/4722a369/23

Man, is it just me or is Flora kinda giving off a punk-rock vibe?? haha. She looks nice with it though. The pose for her is a little odd, but it works!

There were also articles included in both magazines, but I don't really want to load them all into this post. That could crash my computer, lol.

Anyone else in love with these images, just in general? Aaahhh!! 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for my Episode Five review. :)

PS: Anyone else think it's about time I update the look of this blog? If you have any suggestions for images for a new banner or anything, tell me! :) I'm thinking maybe Hallowinx, for Halloween.

New Preview Clip: Sirenix Fairies

A new preview clip popped up, this time about Sirenix Fairies!

It was a pretty interesting clip, but not too much to say about it other then OMG, Dafne was a Sirenix fairy? Cool :) Talk about unexpected.

That explains why we see the Winx at Roccaluce so many times in the theme song. It's Dafne helping them get Sirenix. 

Not much else to say, but I'll have a bigger post on Sunday for the fourth episode :) 

Here you can watch the preview clip, on BelieveInWinx's channel!

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
