Your Face on Winx Club 100?


In preparation for the 100th edition of the Italian Winx Club comic magazine, a 16 character code can be found in the 98th issue. With this code, you can gain access to a new mini-game where you can create your own issue 100 cover. Judging by the picture above, does that mean you can put your face over Bloom's? It seems like it. I bet that this is a good way to put your own fan character's face if you are not so artistically inclined. Either way, you can create your Winx Club magazine cover.

For those of you who do not live in Italy, you can buy issue 98 on Muscara.com for 4.50 euros before shipping to get the code. Issue 98's comic is called "Return to the Amazon." (Doesn't that seem like the perfect way to bring in a Huntik character?)

In other news, Nick is sending out casting calls for actors/models to portray Bloom, Stella and Aisha for a meet and greet event. More details here.

Harmonix/Sirenix Dolls

I am not sure which form these dolls are supposed to be exactly, but since harmonix is supposed to come before sirenix, I will assume that these are harmonix dolls.

Smoby will be selling these dolls in France. Hopefully, they'll come out this fall to coincide with the release of season five. See more Winx Club dolls from Smoby here.



Do the PopPixie pixie wings not come to mind when you look at the harmonix wings? The new wing designs have in a whole new direction for the show. Inside of making decorated wings, they seem to have decided to take a simple wing and layer it many times in different colours. It might feel like a step back, but I actually do not mind. I like the simple designs.

As for the whole concept of being fairies with aquatic powers, I'm still not positive about it.


(By the way, I'm trying out Imgur to upload the pictures onto one album rather than separate entries onto Blogger, because it makes the blog entry too long and difficult to manage. What do you think?)

Season 4 approaching

Hey Winx Fans,

Winx Club's season four starts in less than a week on May 6th with the one-hour special The Power of Believix! Are you excited? I am because then the rest of North America will be caught up with the story and we can as global community move on to season five in September.


In other news, the massively multiplayer online game Winx Adventures on the official Winx Club site had shut down their servers on April 27th. I personally never participated in it because I wanted to wait until it was improved and all the bugs were patched but it seems that it was short-lived. Honestly, I liked the idea but I did not think it would pan out well considering its target demographic.

As for completely cool news for those who like cosplaying, I found a site where they sell officially licensed believix costumes. The down-side is that the costumes only fit children. However, the wings seem to be good recreations of their actual designs. The costumes can be found at WebHats.com.

More Sirenix (Harmonix?) Images

Credit goes to various people, but foremost rickydshow for taking these images.

I believe the following is a launch calender.


From what I understand, there are going to be not one, but TWO transformations: sirenix and harmonix! It seems that the first half of season five will air this fall and go on until spring where we will see the girls achieve the harmonix transformation. Serenix will appear in the latter half...but, the "ability to use their powers under water?" Um, can't they do that anyways? The water on Andros did not really stop them in season three.


There will also be a Christmas special for this year. Hmm...I'm guessing that it'll just be a winter holiday special because Magix doesn't exactly celebrate Christmas or have winter for that matter.

Hey, look, it's the old mermaid transformations.





I've noticed that Flora's hairstyle never really changes, except when she transforms. And even then, how do you change her signature blond bangs while still make her look pretty. It's strange.

SotLK DVD on Amazon

Nick's dub of Secret of the Lost Kingdom is available for pre-order on Amazon for 11.99$!

If you still haven't seen it, you go watch it here.

Sirenix Images from Bologna Children's Book Fair

Rickydshow recently visited Bologna Children's Book Fair and took some pictures of the new Sirenix transformation. Check it out! (Pictures are from Una di noi.)





What do you think of the new transformations so far? I think the designs are cool, but I'm waiting to see how they implement the water/mermaid theme into their magic before I make any real judgements.

2012 Mirtillo Clothing Line

Mirtillo is the clothing company that creates the Winx Club clothing line in Italy. Their 2012 catalogue features clothing with images for new Winx outfits, namely the the "Fairy Concert" and "Urban Safari" sets as well as the usual Sophix and Believix sets. (Don't worry. I'll spare you the awkwardness of looking at child models wearing the sample clothing.)

The clothes below feature images of the new "Fairy Concert" outfits.?



For a closer look at the "Fairy Concert" images, go here.

Those of you with a keen eye will notice that the "Urban Safari"outfits below were first seen Nickelodeon's fourth one-hour special Winx Club: The Shadow Phoenix when Aisha, Stella and Bloom went to rescue the pixies.


(Above) Also, I'm guessing that Flora is has own outfit in this set as well if you look at the shirt in the middle. I guess they put her in the believix clothes line as well because her general colour pallette features pink.

Believix Costumes from Russia

The picture of Tecna in background is actually fanart.
By the way, isn't that stock art of Layla also fanart?
These are some really nice costumes compared to ones we can buy for Halloween. They must be pretty expensive.
