Subject: How Would you design a Winx Doll if you could? Tue Jul 02, 2013 3:55 pm
Given the recent complaints about the dolls on here I thought we could play a little game with it. Here's how pretend you work for a big name toy company and they just asked you on how you would design their New Winx Club line starting with the collector items of Charmix (1st level also called Fairy Mode). They have given you the materials you need for it as part of the designing process (yarn hair, several sheets of white material (cloth,felt, rubber and/or fishnet is up to you),glue, glitter, wing fishing line, wire spring ,doll base and dyes of your choice, the base is fully posable from head to toe with a butterfly hole in the back for the wings to lock in, the face has been done for you already in place with proper tones too and the underclothes are molded on) Pick a fairy to use, I'll do Flora since we always start with Bloom.
Colors needed orchid pink,fuchsia pink, soft green, lime green,light blue, light brown and blonde dyes I'll start with the necklace made out of cloth dyed to be a thin soft green band around her neck with a small orchid pink four petal flower (felt) dangling just above her chest. Next I make a pair of fuchsia shorts out of cloth to go under a cloth orchid pink flared petal skirt. The top consists of a cloth fuchsia and orchid corset in the pattern of fuchsia-orchid-fuchsia with detached orchid fishnet sleeves that flare out at her hands and stop below her shoulders. The boots are ankle length in orchid and made from rubber for better shimmer effect, the clothes are given glitter in their colors for the shimmer. Next i bend the fishing line and wire springs into a sort of raindrop-petal shape to fit the cloth lime green wings that were made earlier and add an identical pair on top to hide the wires as each wing is outlined in blue with glitter on it to glow. I make Flora's earrings out of some cloth and blonde dye to complete the outfit. The hair is similar to Bloom only it's parted in the center without the flame bangs, where the hair is parted it's blonde everywhere else it is light brown and goes to her rear. now i attach the hair onto the doll and dress it by putting it on accordingly after sewing the top and skirt into a dress. If you're wondering what those springs are for it's for fluttering, the Wire is sort of to help with translucentness in the wings.

I'd make their body types more natural, fix that awful hair of theirs, and give them each an individual mold for each Winx.

I would keep Jakks as they are but make the hair straight (except Aisha's duh). I would make all of them have bendable arms, legs, and hands. I would try to make the outfits as accurate as possible! For each doll collection (such as Enchantix) I would make all the Winx not just Bloom Stella Flora and sometimes Aisha.

That's a little too realistic, not to mention kinda gross to have real skin and hair on a life sized robot. Do you really want to clean something that complex everyday?
