Winx Club City Girl Flora by Witty Toys

Now it's time to talk about our favorite flower girl, Flora! :)
Sadly Flora must be the worst looking figurine from the series, and the more I look at her,the more I like her less sadly.  :(
Let me show you why I'm so negative about this figurine:
At first, when you look at the figurine she looks fine, doesn't she?
 First of all just look at her lips. They are painted too brightly. With Flora's dark skintone she should have darker lipstick on her. She looks like a young bimbo girl testing her makeup skills.
That's the lipstick shade I used when I was 15 years old, and let me tell you, it looked awful xD
 Her body, pose and dress looks fine
 You get a watering can when you get that fairy.
Her boots look pretty cool too :)
 The paint job looks bad though. Her highlights are badly painted.
It looks like they didn't care to do her hair right or Flora should just change her hairdresser xD
 The profile looks well
 The pose is dynamic, Flora must have one of the best body and clothing shapes 
 Flora's gorgeous ponytail
 Like all the Winx girls, Flora's hair have her own life :P


 That was our Flora  my firends, next time you'll get to see Stella ;D

Winx Club City Girl Bloom Figurine by Witty Toys

I have the whole series of the Winx Club City girl line by Witty Toys.
My favorite figurine is the Bloom one (ofcourse).
She is almost perfect and you can see that they put some work into her :)
 Bloom in her city outfit
 All the colors seem to much Bloom from the series :)
 The outfit is spot on, it just could use a bit more details
 Bloom comes with her pet bunny Kiko (which isn't looking as well as Bloom,haha!)
 She suffers Stella's case of one lipped mouth ;D
It still isn't that bad though
 Bloom has a very dinamic pose
 Even her hair looks alive!

 A better look at her face. 
The skintone isn't as bright and sunkissed as it is on the merchandise, though Bloom is actually pale in 3 first seasons.
Eyes are wonderfully perfect and I couldn't ask for better ones <3
 The stand and her boots

I saw one of these Bloom figurines sold separately on Ebay. 
Myself I bought it though together with other Winx girls and I'm going to review all of them :) 









Winx Club Bloom Coin

Winx Club is one of these show with a big adult and teen fanbase, but with little to no mature collector items.
Jakks Pacific releases some limited edition dolls from time to time, but that's it.
Turkey released recently 3 Winx Club collector coins.
The company producing them is called MaxGrey, and they are available on Ebay through their store.
The moment I saw them I had to buy Bloom one since she is my favorite.
The price is also generous, and getting all 3 doesn't cost a fortune.
I actually bought the Flora and Stella coins too to have the whole collection.
I'll make sure to blog about them when they come in the mail :)

 ^Before opening...
 ^Backside
 Coin itself in it's plastic and her cardboard

^ Better look at the coin
For such a cheap collectible it looks fairly well made if you ask me.
I didn't expect it to look that nicely.
You can actually see that it is Bloom, and her features pretty well :D

^And that's what you get when you buy the coins.
They even add a little stand so that you can show off your coin instead of hiding it in your desk.
The coin has to be in it's cardboard because otherwise it is too small in it's plastic holder to fit on the stand :(
Interested in getting one of the coins?

Winx Club Stella Sirenix figurine by Witty Toys

Here comes my first review of one of my latest Winx items.
I'm mainly focusing on collecting Winx figurines because I think they are the more character accurate than the dolls.
Witty Toys' latest Winx figurines are especially neat because of their facemolds and eye shape.
The first figurine I got from that comapny was a  4 inch Stella Sirenix figurine.
She is my only Sirenix figurine at the moment but let's take a look at her:
 ^Stella still in her package
^The backside. 
As long as I have seen you can get Musa and Flora on Ebay. The rest is extremly hard to get,especially Bloom :(
  
 ^Brochure in Italian with some info about Stella I guess

 Stella outside of her package after I put her together
 It's very cool that they used a fabric skirt instead of a plastic skirt. That way she looks cuter :)

 Her wings are kind of awful though. 
I don't know if it is me doing something wrong, maybe I just can't attach her wings right (I was never good with the Kinder Egg and McDonald's put together toys), but they seems to fall off very easly :(

As you can see she has very nice eyes. 
This is the kind of eyes they should do at least on every Winx dolls.
You can see that it is a Winx girl. Her face mold is also right.
The only thing I'm a bit sad about it are her lips. 
It looks like they only painted her upper lip instead of  both lips.

Otherwise, she is a very cute figurine :)

My old Winx collection/first post

Hi everyone,
My name is Anna but please call me Winxiara :)
I'm a 23 years old Polsih girl living in Sweden.
I've been a Winx fan  as long as I've been living in Sweden, 10 years.
I begun my Winx adventure in October 2004 while going through our newely bought Polish.
Winx was playing on a teen channel called Zig Zap and I decided to stay and watch the episode.
I remember that day very clearly, it was a season 1 episode 21 called 'The Crown Of Dreams'.
I thought that the show is a copy of WITCH and I didn't want to admit it that I liked the show.
After the episode was over I run to my PC and looked through the endless sea of Winx pictures,character bios and such.
I was stuck, I became a Winx fan and I would never expect to like this show for such a long time. 
I had a semi hiatus in 2010. I thought that the 5th season was bad, though I still watched new episodes and looked up Winx news from time to time.
I sold most of my Winx collection because I wanted more money to spend on my soon to be born  at that time daughter.
I'm rebuilding my collection now, but in this post I want to show you pics of some part of my old Winx stuff that I lost:
 ^I'm considering rebuying these two dolls. The Mattel dolls were some of the most show accurate dolls if you ask me :)





 ^Winx Trading Card Game: Planning on rebuilding this collection

 ^Doll cards: Still have them :)

 ^Panini stickers: I'm going to collect the season 5 ones
 Âll my Winx dolls. I still have my 3 first basic Mattel dolls that came out (Bloom,Stella and Flora). I just couldn't part with them. They are not on the picture but I'll make sure to take a pic of them sometime in the future :)
I also have a magical mini Bloom, I don't know where she is though, it's time to look for her I guess...
 ^Still have that tin
 ^Still have the 3 figurines. They are really neat looking. I also have a Bloom Concert figurine

Polish collector sheets. I still have them (and the binders shown in the pic) 
I'll make sure to take pics of the sheets :)

Hope guys you will enjoy my blog! :)
