Apparently they are currently unavailable on Amazon? I'm just as confused as you are. The line is called "Grand Ball" just search up "Winx Reboot Grand Ball" and you'll be able to find HD PICTURES and even AMAZON LINKS for the dolls. Here's the description : "Step into the most glamorous night of the year with the Grand Ball at Alfea. Each Winx fairy is dressed in an extra-detailed prom-style gown, designed for elegance and sparkle. With flowing skirts, precious tiaras, and full articulation, these dolls turn every play moment into a royal fairy-tale." Interesting how they say each Winx when there's only Bloom,Flora and Stella...

Ugh the constant disrespect to Layla, Musa and Tecna! Goodness me! And yes, I am confusion!!! About that describtion... will it be something they planned and didn't pan out or will it happen later on? Who knows...
(Also, quite frankly, full articulation would be better for the fairy versions rather than princess dolls, ihmo. Would make more sense for how kids would play for either version...)

Well the listing is up but it's just not available for purchase,I wonder if it was cancelled last minute. I don't know how selling dolls work but if the Amazon listing was made then it probably was produced. Maybe there was a problem with production? Maybe something with doll sales? I don't think so,it seems moderately successful to me...

Sometimes the listings are put up for future products, to secure it and the string adress. And I guess someone made the whole thing visible, for one reason, or another...

I mean they made prototypes very clearly so I assume they entered production? They should've by now at least...

The second part of the reboot is going to come MUCH later so that's not the most likely possibility,maybe it was meant to be just dolls and weren't supposed to be in the show. Mattel did that with their fashion packs so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Also not Giochi giving us dolls with diverse skin tones in 2004 and 20 years later whitewashing Flora and Aisha. Like hello why are we devolving??? The original Flora dolls from Giochi were mostly accurate,I know that sometimes certain skin tones don't look the same on plastic as they look in animation so they have to lighten them ever so slightly but Mattel did that too and you could at least tell Aisha from Flora easily but aside from that i wonder if they'll make dolls of the specialists and what level of torture translating Brandon's constantly shape shifting face into a doll would be like

We devolving for sure. and maybe that's true that those were "generic princess" designs. There maybe could be a Sky doll, but then again, whose clamouring for blond boy doll in a grey hoodie, though...

Any thoughts on the Monster High spin off dolls?

I think they are cute, but also bit unoriginal... like nature witch named Willow... groundbreaking (also what is it with toymakers and fear of certain colours? Like, no green, only teal...).

okay so in defense of mattel,barbie's creator ruth handler basically committed a crime in the 70's that had to do with sales of Barbie and a lawsuit happened and long story short walmart has a huge say in the designs of mattel products. if a doll line is being sold in a store the people in charge of the store have a lot to say regardless which is why the designs of the 2007 bratz fashion pixiez line was heavily altered from the prototype designs/movie designs but it's even WORSE for mattel. they genuinely don't have that much control over it.

i agree they're cute but they definitely need a more unique face paint because the artstyle is too close to monster high. i think they should go the ever after high route by keeping the same body molds but removing the monster features and having pretty much everything else like the face paint completely it's own thing. also i think they went this route simply because they couldn't make the witch concept back in 2012 because of bratzillaz,more unique ideas would be nice because i think we have enough witches considering we already have draculaura,reboot trix,owl house (it ended yeah but it still feels pretty recent) i truly think mattel is being forced to drive away from concepts that are actually creative because of the ceo

Yeah, I get that, but in all honesty, how often have You seen collector's doll in green (they still not common, though Ypu don't need to worry about the outside sellers... Also I don't think I've seen so many prototypes, or even character designs in green- one of the reasons, why the original Layla transformation was my favourite.

So this is the one thing I don't understand. They are withes, so why not giving them some off-natural colour? I feel like it would be bit more interesting. Even slightly off, or adding some "glitter" to their body, could make them stand out more from other dolls perhaps.
Still two pink hair and two purple in a group of 5...
Anyway, I will want to see them in person, once they're out here. If I manage to get the green-eyed on a good sale, I might try my first rerooting.

I agree with you I think the dolls will look cuter in person
