Joined the forum solely to post on this board so here goes; I'm not sure how often these have been said but yeah.

Articulated Specialist dolls We need boy dolls, and not just Sky! I'd love at least one Brandon, Riven, Timmy, Nabu and Helia- and all articulated please!

Musa, Tecna & Aisha Enchantix There's no need to exclude these girls from the line (especially when their outfits are the prettiest). Musa's always been my favourite Winx girl and she's pretty popular over all. Plus, Monster High is proof that dolls with obscure hair colours sell well!

Other than that I'd just really like to see a general improvement in quality. Can we please have nicer, more manageable hair and hemmed outfits? And please avoid that awful material used for the harmonix dresses. Also, don't forget to include arm accessories! I was so disappointed that none of the believix dolls had gloves or bracelets.

A. It looks like the Sirenix hair quality might be better, considering that it's actually straight now. The hair looks a lot better now.
B. I would love a Nabu doll. *blush*

i'm Thinking about Tecna and Musa Charmix Dolls(RAI Version) that can that fly(Like Tinkerbell Sky High doll that released months ago), Winx Club Sailor(this season) as Dolls with the real Boat when they're on the real Sirenix missions, and Flower princess dolls(Like the Witty Doll ones but BETTER!)...

That first thing makes me think of the Sky Dancers dolls they had a while back. (Well, that makes me sound a bit old...) That would be a good idea. And I'd love to see the sailor collection; unfortunately, they haven't leaked any of that, which makes me wonder if they're making it in the first place...

Sailor line is confirmed and made.
One problem is that Jakks is having problems finding stores that will be picking them up for this season since there are already Sirenix and Pop Disco and a few other lines coming out.
The dolls may be pushed back for a Spring 2014 release. I will keep you all posted!

What about some stores don't carry Winx Products like Another Walmart i know and it's by my hometown(Walmart Irvine- 71 Technology Dr, Irvine, CA 92618(This Walmart doesn't have any Winx Jakks Products like Jakks Bloom Believix or the Jakks Stella's Design Studio).

Great, thanks! I was worried they wouldn't do the Sailor collection, since I haven't seen any images of it yet.

Oh, and I don't think the Pop Disco line will be in the same places as the other lines. It's a budget line, which is exclusive to other stores such as Walgreens. So it'll likely be the Sirenix and Sailor lines together, then.

Saw Sirenix dolls at a Toys 'R Us...but only found Bloom, as usual.

My first priorities are Tecna and Darcy, and then I might buy Musa, Stella, Flora, or the rest of the Trix set. Probably not all, since that'd be a lot of money. But definitely at least the first two.

I love you so much for telling me that, since I've been wanting so many Sirenix collection dolls!  Is it applicable online too?  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that's the case.

Seriously, you rock.

I was dreaming last night, and I imagined that there were pixie plushies. They looked to be kind of a mix between rag dolls and regular animal plushies, but were very detailed and really cute! They should totally try something like this (I'd probably buy at least three)!

Though I'd sleep with a Piff plushie as a good luck charm before a big test so that I could get a really good night's sleep!

We could get Pixie plushies for the Season 6 lines possibly. They are gonna have a bigger part in the upcoming season. So we will see.

You'd have no idea how much I'd love that. However, I've seen some of the Kiko plushies, and I sincerely hope that if Jakks does this, they make them better quality this time. *is picky about these sorts of things*

Meh, I know that Jakks is capable of doing plushies (they had a Neopets line for a while, and those were pretty well done). I just think that if Jakks put that sort of effort into this, everything would be fine.
