I know I'm horribly (not fashionably) late with getting these pics up, but I still wanted to share them. I really love my Italian Winx more every time I look at them, and I can't wait for Musa, Tecna, and Layla to arrive. I think Darcy will probably be joining the family soon as well!

Also, there's a pic of the first member of my newest toy obsession, who arrived yesterday. Prince Adam is here! :)


Let's take a look at the three ladies first. All three are from the "New Hairstyle" line, which is quite a bit cheaper than the original hairstyle line.

First up is Bloom
Photobucket
Her "new" hairstyle is really pretty similar to her original, which kind of makes me laugh. I've got to get her out of that box before the wing gets warped though!

Next is Flora
Photobucket
She photographs really dark for some reason. I don't think she actually looks that tan. I've been meaning to get Flora for forever - since the days I used to crack pair her and Brandon. I wanted them together in doll form. XD

And the one-of-a-kind Stella!
Photobucket
I absolutely love that she comes with her staff! Some places it's listed as a microphone, which cracks me up. :D Her hairstyle is quite a bit different, losing the the two pigtails. I kind of miss them. But she has one ponytail that you can barely see coming off the top. I'm debating trying to rework the hair back into the original style when I open her up.


Now for the Boys!

Prince Sky of Eraklyon
Photobucket
Even though he's more accurate than his Mattell counterpart, I still like the Mattel one a little better. Maybe because he's been on my desk for awhile? Maybe.

And who could forget my favorite? Brandon, the guy who started this whole collection. :)
Photobucket
I've actually had him for quite some time - as my favorite character, I simply had to have the only likeness of him that's been produced (aside from the casual one, which is impossible to find). I was working on a Brandon/Flora friendship fic back then, and decided to get Flora to complement him. Well, I finally own Flora, but she has been replaced by Stella in my affections. XD Oh well. But I'm glad to have his real girlfriend. :)

And a close up pic just because.
Photobucket
Ahaha! I just noticed the giant Sky head floating by Brandon's face!


How about some couples pics?

Bloom and Sky
Photobucket

Stella and Brandon
Photobucket
Oh my, I think she's taller than him with her go-go boots.

And the whole gang (for now). :D

Rearrangement!

When they've all arrived and are all deboxed, I'm planning on writing up a big review for [livejournal.com profile] winx_club and will take some shots of them next to the few Mattel counterparts I have (Bloom, Sky, Flora, and Flutter Magic Stella. Oh, and Enchantix Musa).
Speaking of deboxing, I was trying to figure out how to do it without totally destroying the box, and am at a loss. I think they're supposed to slide out? Help!

Onto the newest item!
[livejournal.com profile] alisonchainsv1, you were totally right - the Adam sculpt is amazing. My only complaint is that he should be smiling. Adam smiles more often than he's serious. :)

I know it's not a good photograph, but hopefully you get the idea.
Photobucket
That logo sticker is totally going on the lid of my laptop. I have been looking for an awesome sticker for a long time, and that is totally it.
I really need more of these guys. Lori, the next time you swing by Forbidden Planet, could you keep an eye out for a Teela and Evil-Lyn as well as the Sorceress? I would be in your debt!



In completely unrelated news, the event that my committee put on last evening was fairly well attended (there were about 50 people there, and I - in a pessimistic attitude - expected no more than 10). It gives me hope that future events can be advertised better though!

I'll check, but I think they might be too old to still be in stock. They mostly have newer stuff there.

Adam looks so grumpy

He really does - but it looks worse in the picture here, where the flash kind of washed out the details in his face a little.
