Mattel dolls vs Jakks

Subject: Mattel dolls vs Jakks Sun Sep 01, 2013 5:07 am

I don't know if any of you have collected any of the Mattel dolls, but I have a few and I miss the quality of their dolls vs the Jakks ones which are double the price, but lack the detail of the Mattel ones.

Since I can't really compare the two completely since Mattel stopped making the dolls in 2009 and didn't do the Believix costumes (that was Simba) But I can at least pull up the original Charmix vs Nick Charmix for comparison and we can vote from that.

For me, I will always love the Mattel ones because they're what I started with.

Anyway, here are the comparison pictures

I think that the reason the Jakks dolls couldn't have a lot of accuracy was because Mattel and Simba did the dolls before them. They changed a lot in the outfits but I still like the dolls. They improved on the hair and the wings to make them more durable. Overall I say that Jakks did a great job with the dolls for a 3 generation winx doll maker. Since I don't actually play with my dolls I just display them mine are in perfect condition. My only complaint would be the color changing hair that doesn't change color really well. Also The hair quality with more curly hair like Aisha and Flora. We can't blame jakks for everything. I think people where expecting the quality of Mattel dolls. I haven't had a Mattel doll because I didn't get into winx club until like 4 years ago.
From what I've seen the dolls are to small compared to the Jakks Pacific. I like the articulation with the Jakks dolls unlike the ones in the Mattel dolls. I like the accuracy of their outfits. But that's about it since I haven't had one. For Jakks I like the wings, articulation, and how big they are. They kind of remind me of Monster High dolls a bit with the articulation. I see that Simba is starting to use the Jakks boxes and doll heads but they use their own bodies. Another complaint I have and I think this is with all winx doll companies; TO MANY BLOOMS ON THE SHELVES! I wish they would make the other characters have an exclusive doll. I feel like Aisha should have had the singing doll this time since the season was about her. I was quite surprised when Jakks had the sirenix underwater motion Musa doll though. ^ ^

Does anybody else agree?

You see, I think Mattel did better with distribution than Jakks does as well. I remember going to a Wal-Mart once where there was an entire line up of Musa dolls with Tune. The company needs to realize that while Bloom is the lead character, she's not really the fan favourite (although one of my friends does like her) and other characters need to be represented.

I feel that someone needs to talk to Jakks about getting the rights to be able to put the proper accessories on their dolls. Just look at the differences between the Mattel and Jakks Enchantix.

I think Jakks did the wings better though, however as a mom with two young children, I can tell you that the wings aren't very durable.

For me I think I choose Mattel over Jakks. We all know that Jakks haves a really great quality, like the colors, ads, etc. I love the designs too!
But Mattel is VERY accurate. Mattel really knows how to design the Winx dolls ACCURATELY!
While Jakks wants to make the Winx dolls on their own style. I wonder why...

JAKKS FTW! XD

I also agree about the "Bloom" problem. If Aisha is starting to become one of the main characters of the show she should become apart of an exclusive line.

MATTEL times infinity

I really think that Jakks needs to make the dolls easier to play with and more accurate.

Also make a lot less Bloom.
