Check out those links and look what this guy has to say, it's ridiculous

Here is what I have to say

Does anyone realize the dolls are simply based off of the show's characters and art style? The art style of the Winx Club cartoon makes the characters skinny and thin. It's just an art style, it's not an accurate representation of how your daughter should look. If your daughter likes the dolls and you're worried about how she will be effected by the thin body, can't you explain to her that normal girls don't look like that? That she's based off a cartoon? Not real life!

Maybe we should start a petition AGAINST this dude, he's cray.

They shouldn't take Winx dolls off the shelves just because some overprotective parent was concerned his FOUR YEAR OLD daughter was going to become anorexic. No one even said he had to buy it. if it concerns him THAT much, then don't buy the doll and don't watch Winx club.

Gosh, people make me so mad sometimes. It makes me type really fast and good xD
But back to the topic, get a grip man. It's like MyLittlePony. Girls aren't going to make themselves look like ponies (unless it's Halloween) now are they? I don't see "ponies" roaming the streets and neither do you.

Do you think he would have looked at the season 4 toys, if he had known they were like that? He probably wouldn't have. You might have wanted the horse, but that didn't mean you didn't see the body image of barbie that it portrayed. I could go on and on with the differences, but I would lose you in my psychological jargon.

I never gave a thought about Barbie's body.

here are some of the comments

"Really? He hasn't got anything better to do than complain about dolls that have been built to look like that for centuries. Parents should be responsible for heir children and stop blaming products."

"This MAN needs to get a life, I despise individuals who believe they should speak out for all. I highly doubt he has first hand knowledge of what it was like growing up as a young female and the issues we endure. If he does not like the doll he can simply not buy it for his own child, he has no right to make that choice for every other single parent out there, soon he will protest against teddy bears as their round tummies promote obesity."

"Get a grip. I grew up with a Barbie and never dieted, took out some ribs or bleached my hair. It is a plaything. What will your kid play with ???? You will find offense with every toy"

"sorry, but it's narrow minded parents like this dad, sending out the wrong message. To a little girl it's just a doll that she likes to play with, nothing more nothing less...seriously let kids be kids and stop putting silly things into their heads.."

"Perhaps Mr Chenery should stop telling other people what to do and just make his own choice whether to buy the dolls, or not. I'm getting sick and tired of these self opinionated fools trying to tell everyone else what they can/cannot do. Maybe Mr Chenery would also like to ban "Incredible Hulk" dolls; after all, impressionable young boys might start painting themselves green and injecting steroids?"

First of all, I agree 100% with you Hannah.
That man doesn't have a life so that's why he trying to seek some attention
I bet he doesn't know the whole story of Winx Club and the people who have signed that list.

Second of All
He should know that Winx Club is the modern version of fairies, not quite like the old but still they are "fairies" which means they still have things in common.
The fairies most people are used to know are the ones in fairy tales, those are the old fairies but the Winx are the new fairies.
Winx Club is a mix between fairy tales and modernity, the fairy tales part, is well the fairies,witches,kingdoms,powers,wings,magicians,crowns and other stuff that have been introduced to modernity which is technology,languages,populations...
The Winx lives in a modern universe where magic,royalty,fairies,witches,dragons,wizards,castle and other things still exists.I think that most people of the 21 century would not watch a fairy show that is set at a long time ago.They are skinny because the winx exercises and fight evil all the time,no wonder why they are skinny.

I'M UP FOR THE PETITION BY THE WAY.

Thank you! And it's the art style

Winx is a good show and promotes exercising, saving the Earth, and believing in yourself

Yepp it's the art style, Iginio made them skinny so the dolls have to be skinny too.
This man need a course on Winx101 ASAP

Oh great, it's one of those parents who are against dolls that looked skinny to protect their children. First of all, the dolls were based on the art style of show. You cannot change the ways or looks of the dolls. Second, the dolls don't make you look skinny. Sure, they look weird, but blaming on their skinniness is like blaming on a fat kid. I don't give a flying dust what they look like, they're just dolls. This guy needs to get a grip.

I know he needs to get a LIFE. I still have Winx dolls today. But I'm not pressured to be skinny by them, I look up to Winx because they changed my life. I came here and met all of you guys because of Winx. They inspire me in these ways:

-Bloom teaches me to

-Stella inspired me to want to be a fashion designer

-Flora taught me to be brave

-Aisha taught me to be strong

-Tecna taught me to be more open sometimes

-Musa inspired me to sing more

-Roxy taught me to believe in myself

Get a grip. I grew up with a Barbie and never dieted, took out some ribs or bleached my hair. It is a plaything. What will your kid play with ???? You will find offense with every toy

I agree with you 100% Hannah. I may jog to be healthy and to get some fresh air but it doesn't mean that I want to look like the winx.
