Winx Club and PopPixie Magazines Available in Qu�bec

The Winx Club and PopPixie French comic magazines are officially available in the province of Qu�bec (Canada). They have been available since July/August 2010. These comics are imported from France. They cost about 9.30$ before taxes and about 10.60$ after taxes. The magazines are published by Panini France S.A. All issues, Winx Club or PopPixie, come with a freebie such as jewellery or school supplies.

They are not releasing the comics in the same order as the Italian ones, but to give you an idea, they are starting with the comics around Issues #60 to present. Issues before #60 are being reprinted in a hardcover book form by Panini Kids. Prior to Panini Kids, it was �ditions Carabas that published the comics in France.

(These are the ones that I have.)?

Alongside with the regular Winc Club magazine are two other magazine series that publish the comics: Winx Club Jeux and Winx Club G�ant, Game and Giant respectively. Game publishes crosswords, word searches, quizzes, etc with a comic while Giant publishes 144 pages of comics and games (a regular issue is about 70 pages; Giant probably has two comics in it). The regular series is printed every month, Game, every two months and Giant, every three months and they all cost the same price about.

The magazine stand that I bought these comics are in Montreal at Carrefour Agrignon (7077, boulevard Newman, LaSalle) at Tabagie Gateway. The reprints can be bought or specially ordered at any Indigo or Renaud-Bray store. If you know more places where you can buy the comics, feel free to send an email with the address and it will be published with a credit to you.

On a side note, the Maya Fox series by Iginio Straffi and Silvia Brena is also available in Qu�bec (and thus Canada) in French.

Scanning the Comics

No, I cannot scan the comics, not because I do not have the means, but because it infringes on copyright. According to the copyright statement in the magazines, "All rights reserved in all countries. No part of this magazine can be reproduced or transmitted in any manner or form, including mechanically and electronically, online or offline, without the written autorisation of Panini S.A."

Come Join The Club, Keke!

In celebration of Keke Palmer joining the Winx team as voice actress for the "Keisha" that we're all wondering about, Winxlewanty made some pictures! We're still not sure who Keisha is, but Keke seems to be getting along with the girls alright!

Keke Palmer to voice act on Winx Club

Thanks to Ella of Winx 4 Life for finding this information.

According to NickandMore.com, Keke Palmer ("Akeelah and the Bee", "True Jackson, VP") will be voicing the character of "Keisha" in Nickelodeon's dub of Winx Club. The article states:

In addition, she will record this year the voice of Keisha, one of the magical fairies in the Nickelodeon animated action and fantasy series �Winx Club,� a hugely popular franchise with young girls worldwide that will debut in 2012 with new episodes in the U.S. Set in the mystical dimension of Magix where three schools educate modern fairies, witches and supernatural warriors from around the universe, �Winx Club� first aired in Italy six years ago and became an international phenomenon.

A lot of theories have been put forward on who Keisha is, including that it's just a misspelling of Aisha, a new name for Layla, or a completely new character.

Palmer did voice work in the direct-to-DVD film "Tortoise vs. Hare".

Old Uniform vs New Uniform

 New: [pretend Sky and Nabu are not there : ) ]
- Lost of cape
- Snazzy studier-looking armour
- No more colour-coded badges on their chest
- They look like elite soldiers

Old:
- Awesome cape
- Spandex-like material
- Badges
- They looked like superheroes




Which uniform do you prefer?

Does anyone think that the new uniforms will appear in season five?

Possible Season Five Images?

The following are images found on the internet. There is no proof that these images are official screens from season five. For all we know, they could be a leaked technology preview, screenshots from some obscure video game in Russia or fanart. At the bottom of all the images is an address to the Russian blog MagiaDelWinx, for all of those who were curious. The images were found on the blog Winx Club Blog by Olgawinx.

I hope at the very bottom of my heart that these are real.

For those of you crying "fake" automatically because it is not the same animation style that we are used to, it is possible that these are real. If anyone remembers watching the first episode of season four, you might have noticed that that episode uses a completely different animation technique compared to the rest of the fourth season. Episode one used a technique that was completely done on computer using a program similar to the animation program ToonBoom (or the cartoon Angel's Friends) while the rest of the episodes were the traditional "hand-drawn" types, the usual style of episodes that we are used to. However, that does not mean that these are real.

To continue, the first set of pictures were accompanied with the following:

Notice on the very right of the picture is another person behind Musa who may or may not be Roxy judging by the colour palette!

Puzzling, isn't it? The Winx Club are in there season three outfits (with possibly Roxy!), yet Stella is carrying her handbag from her Frutti Music Bar outfit. Is it a bad joke, or is someone hinting at us that these are real by placing Stella's bag (and possibly Roxy!) in the shot?

Only time will tell...

Feel free to talk more about Season Five in the forum! I have noticed that no one goes on anymore.

UPDATE 12-21-10: I'm told that this is fanart or from a Russian video game in the comments. That's nice and all, but that is not proof. For all I know, you could be lying. Here's the deal, I won't believe you until you show me proof that this is fanart or from a video game. By proof, I mean the original source of the images and a sufficient statement. Then I will post a retraction if necessary. Until then, these are images that may or may not be from season five.

Enjoy!
