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?

Review: Jakks Pacific: Pink Enchantix Bloom Doll

Sorry I've been so inactive lately guys. I'm pathetic. @__@ I'll try to do better!

SO, I finally got Pink Bloom. That took a while. I ended up having to get her online. Oh well; at least I have her! I really love her, too. Let's get started!

Let's go Enchantix!

 

I'm sorry my photos look so horrible this time. I truthfully have no idea what in the world happened. As usual, let's start with the toes and head up!

Her shoes are the same as the Jakks Enchantix and Sophix ones, but instead of blue, green, or orange, they're black. Personally I think it looks pretty cute. They're not clear like the other ones either.

Underneath she has socks. I really don't know how high they're supposed to go. Since I can't get mine up past her knees... not because they're too small, but the dang knee joint is too big. :T Whatever. I'm guessing to her knees anyway.

It's really unfashionable to wear socks with sandals but I think Bloom pulls it off. I like how high these socks are. They're even higher than Believix Flora's.

Next up is her skirt. That thing is detailed, man. It has three layers. None of them are completely full though. The bottom layer is pink, and the material of um... how do I describe it? Those green frilly parts on the Aisha Believix doll. What's that material called? Is it tulle? I think it's tulle but it's a weird kind of tulle. 

Anyway. The bottom layer is pink and a little sparkly. Then the next layer up is a nice duller pink, with tons of around that color pink sparkles coated on the bottom part of it. Then the next layer up is super light pink, and coated with lighter, less saturated sparkles than the middle one.

This skirt seems extremely uncomfortable in real life since it barely moves at all but hey. This is a doll. Though can't you imagine fighting evil with a skirt that's super stiff?

Yes, I know this picture is ridiculously bright. I don't even know why.

And then she has this middle black piece I don't even know how to describe. It's... kinda like a corset? But not really. It's really stiff but once again. This is a doll. It has a slit in the middle which at the top of there's a little plastic heart jewel. It's a little tacky but in a cute way.

The bottom edge of it tends to kinda poke up if it was packaged wrong, as you can see in the above picture. It doesn't really make a difference though. 

The top edge is lace and really cute!

Underneath that she has a pink... I don't know what to call this material either. DANG it. It's shimmery but not really. It has dots but. Kind of? I'm not even trying to explain it. Never mind.

Anyway. That has a slit at the top too! I really like it. It's also a turtleneck, which makes me unbelievably angry because NOW Jakks does a turtleneck. WHY DIDNT THEY WITH EVERYDAY AND CHARMIX BLOOMS??? Those needed it more!!!

At the top of it is a little bow, which is the same material as that black stiff sparkly thing corset thing. There are so many things on this doll I don't know what are called. I guess that's a good sign.

I really like her gloves! They're just like the ones on Blue SDCC Bloom, but longer. 

And here are her wings and face! Her wings are, surprisingly enough, a different mold than normal Enchantix's. Don't know why they did that, but hey, I'm fine with it. I like this mold better. They're really cute and glittery. And the other side is really different! I actually like it better, but there's no switching them. You'll see them in my next photo.

Her face is almost, not quite the same as the Believix/Enchantix one. It's all the same except she has giant silver glitter caked on to her eyeshadow. It's almost comical how much there is but it's adorable and actually really pretty. Other than that though, it's the same.

This is her hair-- and the back of her wings. Her hair is the same as the Believix/Enchantix hair but surprisingly nicer and softer. I don't know if it's just mine or what, but it's actually curled really nicely. Never brush it though.

Never.

Instead of the usual purple rubberbands on that hairstyle this one's got pink.

And here's a comparison of the two girls! They're really, really different.

I think I like Pink Enchantix's outfit better. The colors on normal are better since they're accurate, but the actual clothing itself is much more accurate on Pink. Like, the pieces and parts and all. If you turned them the correct colors, this doll would be the best ever.

You can also see the wing differences in this picture. Normal's are much taller, and there's a gap between the top and bottom parts, while Pink's are shorter and there's no gap. They also have little jewels hanging off while normal doesn't.

I felt obligated to show you guys the differences between the hair. Do you see this? I've never brushed either doll's hair. This is, for the most part, straight out of the box, except I might've moved it around a little on each. Do you see what I mean now by Pink's hair is curled much nicer? Does ANYONE have a nice haired normal one? I know Sophix had nice hair so I'm just wondering.

And last but not least, a pretty useless facial comparison because I still don't know what happened with my photos. Generally the same, but a little different as you can see here, just in the eyeshadow. Any other differences you see in this picture is just my terrible photos.

Overall, I'd rate this doll a 9.5/10. Extremely pretty, and an amazing doll! But I'm not big on the color combo and would've proffered another one. She's $30 which is a pretty big price hike from the other Deluxe dolls, but I do think she's worth it, she's overall much higher quality.

What do you guys think of the doll? Do you like her or normal Enchantix better?

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?

Review: Season 5, Episode 18: The Devourer

Theme soooong We're The Winx!

We start off with The Trix and Tritannus deciding to steal another seal, but a "really big fish" comes and attacks the Trix. It looks like a mixture between Monstro and um. Those fish that live at the bottom of the sea with the little lights on their heads.

We have a chase scene and it tries to eat Icy and grabs onto her hair. Well geez man, this is why you don't have hair down to your ankles. This'll teach you. 

But then of course Tritannus zaps it to save Icy and takes control of it. Apparently it's name is the Devourer. That's hard to say man. HE TAKES CONTROL OF EVERY SINGLE THING. CANT YOU LEAVE SOME STUFF TO JUST FUNCTION ON ITS OWN.

I'm calling it Monstro from now on. They decide to send Monstro after the selkies and then Daphne has her usual moany 'must warn Winx...' moment. Daphne I know you're in pain but this is getting old.

Now we're at Alfea and Bloom, Stella, and Aisha have to go to the Sovereign's Council. And Flora, Musa, and Tecna have training with Codatorta. Stella WAS getting better in Season 5 but nope nope nope she calls it a gala and tries to decide what people need to wear.

She then zaps the most unattractive animal print war costumes onto Aisha and Bloom I have ever seen. I must say though, Aisha's hair looked cute.

So then she zaps them back into those same Ballgown flower dresses from the Domino party. Then she says a line that I actually thought was kinda cute. "Let's get politicking!"

We're on Domino now, at the Council. They welcome Nereus and Tressa, yay!! I like those too. How come Nereus gets to be crown prince Nereus but Tressa is just princess Tressa? Did Nereus just seriously only credit Bloom, Stella, and Aisha for rescuing them? HELLO FLORA MUSA AND TECNA WERE THERE TOO.

ROY 

ROY

I SAW ROY

ROY IS ROYAL?

NO GET OUT ROY

ROYAL ROY 

WHY IS ROY HERE

Now we get a stuck-up king moment where none of the kings can agree to team up. Solaria and Eraklyon specifically are being especially bratty. 

Now we're underwater and the selkies are playing with the metamorphosis fish. IS THAT ALL THEY DO? TRAIN FISH? When they should be guarding their gates?!??! No wonder Tritannus gets through so easy! The guardians are just playing with fish all day!

The selkies are still creepy in CGI. They see the Devourer and we start a chase scene of Monstro chasing them around. We get in a cave to hide but it sees us and bangs on our cave scaring everyone.

So now we're training with Codatorta and Riven, Helia, and Timmy ~just happen~ to be the guys assigned to help make sure this giant wild dragon Codatorta brought doesn't get away. Are the people at Redfountain just, really big shippers? Do they ship students with each other and that's why they assign them to certain missions?

The Winx are supposed to control this dragon with their Sirenix powers. They just kinda stand there for a moment like, "aw dang it." Until they finally transform. I like the Sirenix 2D transformation. It's growing on me. It's still not as good as the early ones, but I'd say better than Harmonix.

Musa tells Flora to be nice to it. THAT'S how you handle wild dragons, yeah! But then you know. It attacks.

Back on Domino! Bloom and Sky step out of the room to have a romantic moment. Stella tells her dad she thinks they need to team up to defeat Tritannus and that she knows what she's talking about. 

Back to our romantic moment. We have a romantic moment but then Diaspro comes in. Were you guys really not expecting that? Really? You should've known she was gonna come here. She tells Bloom to give him up because she's so gonna have him but then they have a small sass-off. I don't like either of these girls this Season.

WOOP ITS DAPHNE TIME. We're haaaaving a vision. At least this time Daphne didn't give us a stupid riddle and actually told us where we need to go. She told us the selkies are in trouble near the Pillar of Light. 

Bloom realizes she can't leave and calls the other girls up to have them do it.

"Okay, so we tried singing to it, reasoning with it, feeding it."

"Don't forget being nice to it!"

"That's right, laugh it up!"

I love this relationship this Season. MusaxRiven yes.

Did Flora just call some tendrils on it's mouth mustaches? Dude, if you're gonna call 'em that, it's a singular mustache.

We decide we need to grab the 'mustaches' and we do so, taming the dragon. Who'd think the 'mustaches' would be the way to control a wild dragon. 

Today we learned every creature has a weak spot! I KNOW WE'RE GONNA USE THAT ON MONSTRO I JUST KNOW IT.

Yep now we're going to find Monstro. The selkies are still in that cave and they finally manage to escape it after Monstro hit it so hard that it fell apart. The selkies still look scary in CGI.

Noooow time for another chase scene. There seems to be a lot of these this episode. Flower selkie gets cornered in by Monstro and is scared but then she sees the Winx, which apparently means swim into the Monstro's mouth. WHY did you do that. Flora's now panicky and coming to help.

None of our attacks are helping... what's the use in Sirenix if it doesn't affect these undersea creatures? We realize it's Tritannus' Monstro now and that we need to find it's weak spot YES I KNEW IT.

We find that it's the undersea deep sea fish light thing I can't remember the name of and attack it all at once, which makes it then spit out flower selkie and then just drift down dying.

Everything's okay now! Happy selkie reunion moment.

Back at the Council, Stella's dad agrees to unite with the other kingdoms if everyone does, but Sky's dad is still being a jerkhead and that makes Stella's dad sigh and agree to fight alone as well. We have another stupid Diaspro moment where she tells Bloom Sky will be hers. I'm getting tired of Diaspro.

Next episode preview we're taking the Pillar of Balance's seal and Daphne tells us just how dangerous Tritannus' actions are. That is the most vague next episode description I have ever seen.

I think I liked previous episodes better but this one wasn't too bad either, it was just kinda boring. What did you guys think of it?

Review: IcyxTritannus

Our little Icy has finally grown up and fallen in love, this time for real. And now I'm gonna share my thoughts on the relationship. Sorry this post isn't very organized-- it's mostly a ramble of my different thoughts loosely tied together into a post.

"Hey, how come we don't get any real moments?!"

 

So, an evil ice witch and a evil mutant fishman. Obviously the cutest couple. Riiiight?

To be honest, I really don't mind the concept. Icy finally getting a boyfriend, and no more of that stupid three Trix competing for one man that really doesn't want any of them junk we got with both Darkar and Valtor.

But the execution is... less than stellar. Up until The Eclipse, there was no real love shown and you couldn't tell if it was simply her manipulating him or what.  

I don't know about you guys, but I've always thought that if Icy were to get into a relationship she would be the dominant one. I can't see her bowing down to any guy, no matter how much she liked him if there's no benefit in it for her.

But it's also so hard to tell her true feelings for Tritannus... I guess her taking the hit for him in The Eclipse was the proof that she really did love him, but up until then all we got was "I will rule! And you'll be my empress!" "Oooooh, Tritannus!" and Darcy and Stormy puking their guts out over it. Winx writers, if you're gonna make a couple, how about like, develop it? Please?

This is the face of a loving boyfriend.

Moving past the first half, since nothing else happened to them in it, I'm actually starting to warm up to the pairing. Well, starting in Faraway Reflections. (that was the name of the episode, right? I've blanked out! Can't remember!) Though I must say Icy is oddly devoted to a man that she met around fourteen episodes ago, and has had no real moments with.

The one thing that doesn't make sense to me though... is why would she ignore Darcy and Stormy's warning that Daphne gave? Does she not want her boyfriend to like.. live? Shouldn't she take this seriously for the sake of his life?

Maybe she thinks he really knows what he's doing... but she shouldn't, honestly. Isn't she picking up any clues? How when he stuck the seal in, he was completely and utterly drained? Doesn't that send signals of I dunno.. "wow, he doesn't really know what he's doing." Or is she just one of those girls that thinks everything he does is amazing because HE did it?

Icy... realize the situation and team up with your sisters to save your lives. You can go back to your goal of ruling the world afterward if you'd like. Maybe before he activates it she'll realize.

The other thing that really gets me about the relationship is the fact that she's treating her sisters like dirt-- she honestly wouldn't mind them straight out leaving. Weren't they together since Season 1? That's five years, and most likely more since I'm assumning they knew each other before Season 1. And no I'm not counting them as blood sisters, I'm thinking sisters like cheetah sisters. ;) (You guys remember that movie right?!)

But anyway. You can't just drop the girls you've been bffs with for so many years for a guy. You even formed one being with them once come on. You can't forget that. That has to be a cherished memory.

I also can't believe she took that hit for him. Icy seems like the kind of girl that would put herself before others, even if they're her loved ones. She barely knew Tritannus... strikes me as teenage love, yet again. I just wonder if it's gonna last or not.

My guess is if it does? If Tritannus is killed, she's going to die with him, and if it doesn't, she'll ditch him like she did Valtor. 

What do you guys think of the happy couple?

Review: Season 5, Episode 17: Faraway Reflections

I was tired and busy the last few days so the episode review got put off until now. Woops. No pictures today either.

We start with the usual "we will rule... together!" junk from Icy and Tritannus as they stand in front of the pillar wanting to put in the thing. Darcy and Stormy complain and swim away, but Daphne stops them and asks them to stop Tritannus from putting all the seals in because if he does he'll unleash power he can't control and kill everyone. Guess that's not good.

They just kinda brush her off and zap her. No one listens to Daphne. Ever. Then she withers a little and yells for Bloom. Tritannus proceeds to put the seal in the throne and then it zaps him, turning him back into a human. I don't know why it did that, but whatever. It gave Daphne enough power to dream-communicate with Bloom.

Daphne tells Bloom to find the eye of inspiration, that shines above and below. Then we have some "cute" rabbit moments where Kiko's being tossed around. It's not cute.

Bloom wakes everyone up including Stella. Stella complains tons and Bloom quite literally has to drag her out of the bed, and she makes the best facial expression as that happens.

Darcy and Stormy contemplate on 'what if Daphne's right?' You better end up fighting against Tritannus and Icy at the end because they're being stupid guys. Tritannus and Icy agree to go to garbage island on Earth because apparently that's where you go for pollution. Darcy and Stormy tell Icy to ditch him and I'm tired of typing names. She says no because he's perfect and says she could lose the two of them though. Icy I don't like you this Season.

We're now in the Alfea Archive looking for a book on the Eye of Inspiration, and we have an odd moment where everyone spouts names of books with eyes in it that was mildly entertaining. One&OnlyWinxClub screencapped it if you guys wanna see.

Nope nope nope it's time for selkies. Why won't the selkies just go away?! They're not helping!! Ever!! And they don't even have a use anymore!! Filla does the usual signature selkie small beam attack and then gets shot down by Icy. What did you expect?!

Now we're sitting right outside Alfea since apparently that's the best place to think at 2AM. Aisha asks her Sirenix Guardian about the eye, who says that it's big and round and very bright tonight. ITS THE MOON ITS THE MOON GUYS.

I was right it was the moon. I like this Sirenix guardian she's cute. She doesn't give you stupid half answers that you have to think forever about.

Somehow we realize that that means a well, the shining below part that is. We lean over it and see the moon and a giant beam zaps up into the moon, and it takes us to a weird water room that reminds me of the Planetarium in Stella's castle. They should've given it a better background this is just a silly gradient. I really like the rest of the look of it though.

We see a map in the sky that's the three pillars and we're all yeaaahh happy okay. BUT THERE ARE FIVE STARS DO YOU GUYS NOT SEE THAT THEYRE ALL CONNECTED

ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOME STUPID STUFF FOR THE LAST TWO WHY DIDNT YOU NOTICE TWO MORE

Tecna takes a picture of it with her phone YOU SHOULDNT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR PHONE IN MAGICAL PLACES ITS JUST NOT RIGHT

Now we're back with Filla who is off recruiting all 100 selkies to help her. Hey there are man selkies. Do you really like all of you and your tiny beams are going to help? You still just have tiny beams.

Bloom's family and some other Gardenia commoners are cleaning up garbage island and that makes Tritannus angry because. He absorbs it all and then he comes up a little hole in it and scares the people but HOW DOES HE JUST FLY THERE

HE IS A MERMAN THEY DONT JUST FLY OKAY

He then turns it into the most generic nonthreatening monster I have ever seen. Then him and the Trix sit there and laugh for like a whole 15 seconds. 

We're back with the Winx and it's morning now. Stella's excited to go back to sleep but then Bloom gets a call from her mom about Tritannus attacking Gardenia and they have to go. No sleep for you, Stella.

We transform 2D Sirenix with some new clips that still don't strike me as special. There's something missing from this transformation but I can't place it. Maybe it's that we don't see them actually transforming, just jumping around.

Gaaaaardenia time! The Winx arrive and everyone cheers. Tritannus and his witch-lackeys decide to head out and go for Pillar of Balance next. I guess he likes that one better, why else do that next.

We attack the big monster but nothing happens. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE THEY JUST TOLD YOU

Yes good they heard me. It took all six of them to make a bubble shield thing? That's kinda sad. I feel like Aisha or Musa could've done that on their own.

The monster throws one hit at it and it reflects it back and that just destroys the monster. That was the weakest monster ever all it took was one not even very big hit.

The selkies are here of course and attack the witches but because all they have is the GENERIC SELKIE BEAM they get sucked into a weird vortex by the enemies. Then they go into the Infinite Ocean.

There's the Winx! WHAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR WEIRD HAIR COLORS IS IT JUST UNDERWATER IN GENERAL I THOUGHT WE WENT UNDERWATER ONCE AND DIDNT HAVE IT STOP bEING RANDOM

We decide saving the selkies is more important than getting Tritannus. We use none other than CONVERGENCE and save them. But we took too long to follow Tritannus so now we just decide to wait for him to show up again. How did they change into their casual clothes I thought we were in our pajamas under Sirenix?!

Next episode preview the Sovereign Council is here. I spy Galatea!And Tritannus also summons the Devourer which is apparently a giant fish to eat the selkies. It looks like the one from the episode we went to Domino.

Overall I'd say I liked this episode better than the early episodes of S5, but I preferred the last two. What did you guys think of it?

Review: Harmonix, as a Transformation

"There's nothing like a magical feeling,

The super me it is revealing,

Winx it's on we totally got this,

Full fairy power let's rock this..."

Hey! It's been a while since my last one of these. Enchantix was back in December.

Now that it's run is over, it's time for Harmonix! Let's get started.

Harmonix is the pre-form to Sirenix-- kind of a temporary state, that they use while earning Sirenix. Struck me as kind of unnecessary, but pretty.

The Designs

The designs of Harmonix are... pretty. When I first saw that one Bloom promotional image I was super excited. I love trains, frills, extra long hair... all that stuff. But when I saw all of the girls together that excitement faded-- the designs were all kinda... the same. They were all pretty, but all super similar.

If I had been shown a no-color version of each just the dress, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. And I probably still couldn't today! I think the Harmonix designs need more individuality, though I do give them points on hair-- that was done really well, they all looked gorgeous.

Though they were very impractical-- I'm sorry, but you don't fight evil in big long trains you could trip on and giant, ribbon heels, that's just not possible. And it seems extremely challenging. Not to mention your giant long hair flowing behind you getting in the way.

So basically... pretty, but kind of bland. If I were the designers at Rainbow I would've gone a different route and changed the dresses to be more different-- given some shorter trains than others, given rouching in different places, given different shapes of skirts and added some different sleeves and stuff. There's a way to do tied together designs without them looking like copies, guys!

The Powers

The powers of Harmonix were better than Believix, but slightly uninteresting. It was mostly the same sparkle beams as Believix-- but with the occasional unique attack, like Bloom's fire shield. I remember once Musa pulled out an odd instrument too.

I'd say this just about sums up Harmonix.

Aisha also had one attack called Thirteenth Seal-- and I still don't understand it. She crossed her arms like an X and an X shaped attack came out. Why is it called the Thirteenth Seal?!

Other than that I can't really think of any special features of Harmonix, other than that it obviously lets you breathe underwater.

With Harmonix we did get Sirenix boxes though, with Sirenix guardians inside. Do they count as a power? Basically they could give you all the advice you'd ever need but in the most useless way possible where it took three days and a trip to the desert to understand it.

The Transformations

The Harmonix transformations had pretty colors and concepts, but they suffered from the same curse of being the same between all the girls. There was no special thing that matched up with their powers-- just the same sparkles and ribbons for everyone. That was disappointing.

No flames for Bloom, no water for Aisha, no flowers for Flora.. just, sparkles. Ribbon. 

There were also some awkward poses thrown around in there. Look at Flora's ending pose and you'll know what I mean-- and a few odd angles where you couldn't tell what was happening. See the Musa transforming picture above.

Though they do get credit for cool backgrounds, and the way they did the hair was very nice too. I'm just disappointed in the overall transformations.

The song that went with it was pretty nice-- though impossible to sing. I'm not criticizing it on that, I'm just saying. :P 

Overall I'd rate this transformation a total 6.5/10. It was pretty, but the powers weren't anything really special, and the transformations were awkward at times and didn't show the girls' powers. But this is just my opinion.

What do you think of Harmonix?

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!

Review: Season 5, Episode 16: The Eclipse

Sorry guys, no pictures today! Though funfact. I'm listening to a Keke Palmer soundtrack as a write this. It's totally Aisha. Have I mentioned I love Keke Palmer? Just not too much as Aisha.

The title makes it sound like this episode is all about the Pillar of Light and saving it and all... nope.

We start off with Luna taking care of Radius, and she basically tells him that everything is in Stella's hands. Well, that's not a good situation. I wouldn't leave anything in this Season's Stella's hands.

Then we flash into CGI, where we're exactly as we left off. The preview clip, 'The Pledge', happens right there. I didn't post about that one. It was kinda lame. Stella saves Aisha from the falling rock and Flora nature kicks Darcy and Stormy (I didn't know nature had it's own kick.) and then Icy and Tritannus swim away. 

We chase after them, but he pulls out his mutant merzombies and we kinda get spooked again. He sends four of them at the girls and then swims away. The selkies have the most kawaii scared look on their faces I have ever seen. Aisha pulls out her Neptune sword and hits two of them, which turns them back into... Nereus and Tressa! As they turn back the other two mutant merzombies run away.

OMG Tressa is a cutie in CGI. Nereus is such a good guy. He's so nice. I like you, Nereus. Stay human. We have a small family reunion and then AISHA GIVES HIM THE SWORD

NO

NO AISHA YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE SWORD

NEREUS GIVE IT BACK

NOOO

NOT COOL MAN IT COULDVE BEEN YOURS

HOW ARE YOU EVEN GOING TO SAVE THE REST OF THE MUTANT MERZOMBIES NOW YOU KNOW NEREUS ISNT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO DO IT

After we finish our little family reunion the maybe-man-selkies tell us the pillar is collapsing and that we need to do something. Aisha tries some Morphix on it but it breaks through, and then we try Convergence which for one didn't work! Heeeey! I know this is a show about friendship, but it's nice for once where this generic attack of us all holding hands doesn't work.

Instead Stella has a courageous sun moment and uses all of her power to save the Pillar. I don't know how that works, but hey, it worked right? A seal is gone so we inject 10x more sun into the sun pillar. Got it.

We see how on all the worlds the sun is shining again, and then we head to the Solarian castle. Stella's kinda upset because she doesn't want her family fighting again, and that they only got along because it was a crisis. But then she sucks it up and goes in.

Her family congratulates her a little bit and then Radius decides we need to do something to stop Tritannus. Luna complains that he didn't compliment Stella enough and then they fight. Stella starts crying. Tears don't look good in Flash animation. 

We're now at Alfea and the teachers all decide they need to train the Winx to use their Sirenix powers as much as they can since we don't have much time. Why is Sirenix so difficult to master? The other transformations were easy as pie. What the heck, Sirenix. Is this why Daphne turned spirit? Is the curse either put in all your effort to learn it or go spirit? 

Stella is crying in her room and Tecna is just sitting there making the most blank expression I have ever seen. I know you are the fairy of technology Tecna but weren't you just complaining that no one realized you had feelings? Gosh darn it this isn't helping. TECNA.

Kiko does some weird tricks that upset Stella even more. Then Bloom gets a phone call and goes to answer it, and it's Sky saying that he wants to meet her at sundown so they can go on a date. Bloom is extremely happy and agrees to go.

Then we get a call from WizGiz who apparently needs help and he's over at Lake Rocalucce. We all agree to race down there.

We then have a creepy moment with holographic kings and I want to know why only the kings of Domino, Eraklyon, Solaria, and Andros are important. There ARE other kings. They have a generic king moment where they fight about how to handle the situation, and then someone decides they need to meet in person because this apparently isn't working. I dunno, I kinda liked seeing my fellow kings in odd colors such as orange, green, and blue. 

Now we're on Eraklyon with Diaspro. WHY isn't she banished from the kingdom? She poisoned/mind-controlled Sky in Season 3. How is she still hanging around?! Go away Diaspro!!!! Shoo!! 

Sky's dad complains about the lack of Sky in the castle. Get out Sky's dad I never liked you either. He appoints Diaspro weird special kingdom helper I have no idea how to spell whatever it was. Sky's mom thinks it isn't a good idea. WELL OF COURSE IT ISN'T, WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY SMART PERSON AROUND SKY'S MOM.

Now we're down at Lake Rocalucce for WizGiz and he is being held by a weird tentacle pollution monster. Well, I guess that needs help. We transform with some new 2D Sirenix clips that were much better than the previous ones. I hope we eventually get a full transformation.

Bloom shoots some fire at it and it shoots some back at Aisha, who then complains her shield didn't work. WELL NO WONDER IT DIDN'T, FOR SOME REASON THE WINX LOVE TO USE SHIELDS THE SIZE OF THEIR CHESTS. THAT IS NOT GOING TO SHIELD YOU FROM ANYTHING IT'S TINY.

Stella shoots some sun at it and it shoots some back at Musa, who uses a slightly bigger shield but is still knocked down. I think the teachers need to show these girls how to use real shields.

Then it shoots some sun at Stella and she puts up a shield and it gets shot back at it, which apparently hurts it. WizGiz tells us to fight fire with fire, so we direct all of it's attacks into one big net Tecna's making. Tecna also does a weird dance as she controls this net which really doesn't look good in the flash animation.

We then throw the net at the monster and it explodes and WizGiz's hat comes out. Did you get into all this trouble because something took your hat, WizGiz?

He explains that it was all a lesson to help them learn to use their Sirenix powers. That was a dumb lesson. Couldn't stick us in the Magical Reality Chamber instead? 

Bloom realizes it's sundown and that she needs to meet Sky so she heads back to Alfea. When she gets there we see Sky waiting outside, and then she walks out from inside Alfea and the most unfitting guitar plays as she approaches Sky. 

We have an odd moment that was supposed to be romantic where they talk about how they're gonna walk down the same path they did on their first date, and how the pendant of Eraklyon always makes her think of him. Well gosh darn it it better considering it gave him memory loss.

Our romantic moment ends because Diaspro comes in and demands Sky comes back with her. Sky sadly obeys since she shows off her special Eraklyon badge and then Bloom's sad.

The next episode preview doesn't look very interesting. We just kinda fight a trash monster.

Overall I liked this episode, probably better than the previous one. The title is still really unfitting though, What did you guys think of it?

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?
