New DVDs Arrive! *UPDATE*

The season four DVDs have been released in Italy! Here’s a better look at the official covers. I found these images on eBay on item pages from cinemamovie.store. (And yes, the DVDs are in numerical order, 1-8.)

Vol. 1—Bloom: “Discover our new Believix powers!”
Vol. 2—Flora: “More united and magical than ever!”
Vol. 3—Stella: “The magic continues with our tender pets!”
Vol. 4—Roxy: “Here I am, Roxy: the new Winx fairy!”

Vol. 5—Layla: “Dream with our shining wings!”
Vol. 6—Musa: “Enter the magic of the new ‘Love & Pet’ world”
Vol. 7—Tecna: “S.O.S. Earth: Mission of Winx Believix!”
Vol. 8—Bloom & Roxy: “Follow the final showdown with us Believix!”

*UPDATE* I’m sorry to those of you who could see some of the pictures. I used a table to keep everything orderly, and I formatted it based on my wide screen. I hope the new way is better for you!

More about “Pop Pixie”

­Translated from a recent article on guide.superEva.it, here’s the basic storyline of Winx Club’s upcoming spin-off.­­­­­­

Pixieville is a city located in the heart of a vast forest of trees and shrubs. The city is composed of streets, neighborhoods, streets, squares, and a central park where you will find the Tree of Life. This tree grows “Pops,” bubble magic that gives the pixies extraordinary powers once they have discovered and used their talents to do good deeds. The powers of the Pops, however, attract the evil elves, who, using whatever means, want to steal them from the pixies to use them for their evil purposes…

A nice, simple framework for a mini-series, I’d say, and now we may know why it’s called Pop Pixie. There are a few questions I have about the series from what I’ve seen and read about it so far:

• Why do the pixies appear not to have wings in some of their pictures, like this one? Does this mean fairies and pixies are more alike than Winx Club has shown us (in other words, is there a “pixie mode”)?
• Why does Livy look like a boy in this series? (And why did Chatta call her “LIE-vy” in the trailer?)
• Why are there male pixies but not male fairies? And—not meaning to sound perverted—what’s the point since pixies are born from the Tree (er…Flower) of Life?
• Is Palladium the same kind of elf as these mini-elves in the series?

Anyway, it looks like it’ll be a cute series. Are you looking forward to it?

Here’s the trailer again, but this video also has some pictures from the series. Enjoy!

Tons-of-Toys.com Stocks More New Dolls

Bloom, Stella, and Flora are alone no longer! Now on Tons-of-Toys.com, you can get the new Musa, Tecna, Layla (Aisha), and Roxy Believix dolls! I don’t know about you, but this is the first time I’ve seen these four in Italian packaging. The ones that came out earlier had English packaging. Hmmm… Anyway, here they are! Aren’t they adorable?

Tons-of-Toys also has more Love & Pet dolls: Flora, Stella, and Tecna.

(Images from Tons-of-Toys.com. Clicking on a picture leads to the doll’s ordering page.)

Who’s that Girl? What’s Her Name? (…Is She Cool? Is She Lame?)

Okay, what’s wrong with this picture from the official English website?

If you said, “Nothing,” you’ve overlooked the mauve-haired fairy in the middle of the page.

What is Roxy doing here? The English dub of season four hasn’t premiered yet, so why would they already be using her picture on the site? It seems a little ahead of schedule to me, although I doubt there are a lot of users of that site who haven’t at least heard of Roxy. And then there are the English trailers; she was featured in them.

It also seems like Singapore is getting a head-start on the Roxy news. If she’s already appeared on the site and written an unofficial fairy article, it’ll be harder to buy that she’s not a Winx while watching the season. Speaking of the season, I guess this proves season four will be dubbed into English. They wouldn’t show a character and then not explain where she came from. So, this is (unofficial) official confirmation. All we need is a premiere date.

I may have linked to Roxy’s new English article, but don’t be surprised if it suddenly becomes someone else’s article. Rainbow often did that to her on the Italian site, and they have more reason to do it in this case, since she’s not an official character in the English Winx world yet.

Rainbow MagicLand Concept Art Video

Parksmania, a site dedicated to amusement park news, uploaded this compilation onto YouTube a few days ago. According to the related article on their website, the art was first presented at a press conference in Rome on October 2^nd. This isn’t all the art, of course, but it still gives us a good image of the finished park. There’s also a gallery on Parksmania.it showing some construction site photos (article is in English).

Happy Thanksgiving, America!

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American Winx fans! I hope your turkey feasts or whatever traditions you have go smoothly. And if you don’t live in America, I still hope it’s a great day for you, too!

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. This week, I’ve been a bit out of it. But I’m back, and I’ll try to give you a more steady stream of posts from now on. Well, I will, or the Muse will. Thanks for reading Una di Noi!

“Winx on Ice” Returns

On the heels of the DVD release, “Winx on Ice” will be on tour in Italy again from December 5^th to Febraury 27^th. The show will also be playing to France from March 12^th to 14^th, 2010. Of course, the French version probably won’t have Italian figure skating champion Carolina Kostner as the star. A little trivia: did you know that her character is an Earth fairy like Roxy? Well, at least in the French version—the Italian summary does say anything about it. But the story does open with Carolina (Fre. Caroline) in Gardenia, so it’s possible.

Here’s a brief trailer for French “Winx on Ice.” The song is the French version of “I Sogni a Modo Mio.”

Corrections on the December DVD Releases

I found another article talking about the season four and “Winx on Ice” DVDs, and it looks like I had some of my information wrong, mainly about the DVD extras. If you’re interested, here’s the correct list taken directly from an article from Licensing Italia:

On all eight season four DVDs:

• Karaoke of the opening, “La Magia di Winx Club”
• Two segments from “Balla con Le Winx” (Dance with the Winx)
• “Winx in Concert” trailer
• “Winx on Ice” promo (probably this one—starts at 0:09)
• Cards of the main characters from the season

On the “Winx on Ice” DVD

• Karaoke of “I Sogni a Modo Mio” (English version: “Dreamin’ in My Way”), including video
• Season four promo
• Aquafan Winx Day video (probably this one)
• “Winx in Concert” trailer

Other info:

• The first two DVDs of the fourth season contain four episodes each; the other six DVDs have three episodes each.

Sorry for the mis-information.

Poll: Roxy, The Seventh Fairy/Winx

In response to your comments on “‘The Seventh Winx’ Confirmed?”, I’ve decided to start a poll to find out what the overall opinion is. Right now, it sounds like most of you don’t really want Roxy to be a Winx. Interesting…

“What do you think about Roxy’s being the seventh Winx?” Leave your vote today!

Season Four and “Winx on Ice” on DVD

Less than a month after the finale, all of season four will be on DVD starting December 2^nd. There will be eight disks. I’ve found them listed on some Italian sites, like BOL.it and Unilibro. The price per DVD has been between € 12.00 and € 17.00, so it’s good to shop around. (The sites I’ve found have only had this picture of all eight DVDs on them. You can’t see much detail except that each DVD has one of the Winx in Believix mode on it.)

“Winx on Ice” will also be released on December 2^nd. According to Impero dei Cartoni (Cartoon Empire), bonus features include two segments from “Ballo con le Winx” (Dance with the Winx), karaoke of season four’s theme song “La Magia di Winx Club,” and a card with season four info. Price range for this DVD has been about the same. (“Winx on Ice” will be back on tour next year.)

Sounds like some great Christmas gifts!
