I'm sorry I was a little low energy this video, but I really just wanted to get the ball rolling again. I hope you enjoy nonetheless...

19:03 i was one of those little girls that i hated how riven treated musa everytime I see him I scream i would boo or frown i still hate him to this day
Idk if it was like that in other countries but here in greece the magazines always came with a gift! Stuff like keychains, bracelets, makeup, notebooks, wallets, glasses? Bikinis?? I had soo much winx stuff growing up
Girlllll as a Canadian who went to a French-speaking school, La Bibliothèque Rose was literally my ultimate window into Winx Club. Seriously those things were traded around like candy in 2nd-3rd grade.
Here in greece i remember during the summer they would sell winx themed ice cream in a cup and it also came with a winx toy. It would usually be little figure or a small puzzle, i still have some of them
I am from Bulgaria and i don't know if these were Bulgaria exclusive, probably not, but i remember being in a library and finding a mini series of winx books. Each little book was about each winx ship. It was stories that weren't in the show but weren't against the cannon either and the first one was about Bloom and Sky and i remember they found two halfs of broken heart and put them together or something like this.
Idk if this was Netherlands only but I remember having a whole card game based on winx. I still have it somewhere but idk where but with what I know now i’d say it was literally “Dungeons and dragons Winx Club edition”. I remember there where those dices with symbols and lots of sides and also like a special glitter card that was like a hypnosis spell. I never actually played it as I got those cards and dice on a flea market and I don’t remember there being any instuctions on how to play😶 I also remember there was a supermarket action where you could get exclusive books and then it was like “Stella’s fashion advice” or “Magical gardening tips from Flora”. Every winx girl had this kind of “tip” book. I was only able to collect Bloom and Flora’s book though but a big site from my country still sells them.
I played a lot with winx flash games during the 2000's ! They were a dressup game that I liked a lot, it's been while since I didn't find it. I also remembered that on the winx website during the season 2-3 era where you could choose your favourite character among the winx AND the specialist! I know it because I choose Timmy (i might be the only one in the world to do it 😂) The characters had a description of their lives, this is how I knew that Aisha/Layla was not there at the beginning. (And this is also how we learn that Riven was abandoned by his mother and that was why he hated women and didn't trust anyone) They were also a dedicated website to the winx on live show in Netherlands or flemish Belgium. Or Italy since I remember they were using italian songs. This is also on internet that I discoverd enchantix for the first time ! I downloaded the tecna picture 😂
Your channel is such an underrated gem. I love your videos so much, your content feels so original as it covers parts of the franchise the fandom doesn't discuss that much (at all even), i really enjoyed your retrospective videos and how you present them. Keep up the good work
Wow, you're so lucky to have had so many fond memories of the merch. I remember wanting Winx toys so bad as a kid, but they didn't seem to be selling them in my area. I did have a season one coloring book, but I coveted the doll advertisements on the back. I never came across them in real life, or any other of the merch in this video. It's fascinating to learn about.
Hallowinx web - возможно имеется в виду серия из второго сезона с таким же названием. Также есть реклама, где фрагменты из второго сезона Winx перерисовали в одежду Hallowinx
I tend to separete the 2 eras of Winx, the first one is when it aired on Cartoon Network-seasons 1 to 3 and the Nick Era In the CN era we didn't get many things when it came to merch, sure I have all the Winx Magazines, but not many other things. In The Nick era, it was a extreme push to license things about the Winx here in Brazil, so we have a lot of stuff, from coloring books to clothes. In the Nick era, I was already in my late teens, and they stopped publishing the Winx Club magazine, but the dolls showed up more.
The scenes at 5:26 are from the Season 6 trailer. The characters in those scenes are prototype designs of the Children Of The Night (vampires in episode 11,12), the werewolves from episode 17 and the tree monsters rising from the ground.
whoops... that's what I get for not watching the later seasons as dedicatedly... 🙈 Thanks for letting me know; I'll cut them out. (They were in someone's Hallowinx montage, and there are vampires and werewolves in the comics too, in the same digital art style rather than typical hand drawn comics style; that's how I made the mistake...😅)
I comepletey forgot about attack to magix until now! I know I played that game quite a bit, but I never beat it. Can't remember how far I got. I also remember a game where Flora was flying and you had to fly past obstacles like Knut and the blue troll? But I don't remember much else about it. Thank you for bringing up these memories and I am excited for part 3!
I remembered an additional little winx music trivia I know. The singers from winx power show, Mary Dima, Melissa Marchetto, and Dania Mansi were the singing voices of most of the winx on ice soundtrack, with the addition of Monica Cialona and Fabio Serri on "i songi a modo mio" and "animi nobili" respectfully. I also think Fabio Serri provided background vocals on "richorda che" because I head a male voice in the background vocals of it but there isn't any proof of that. The female aforementioned singers sing the roles of all the winx girls and in the group vocals, while the skaters were lipsynching to the songs. There's a booklet of the CD that has the credits in it apparently but I can't find any scans unfortunately.
Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔 it might be something worth combing through the old Winx Skyrock forums for. If you want any info on the live shows, it's head first into the dumpster I'm afraid... But there are a lot of gems amongst all the infighting: I might take a look!
I still use the Winx Zodiacs until this day for my OCs. It's still on the website of my language. I was exactly born at the day when chimera begins. Same with my brother but with Griffin. And my best friend's birthday is on the same day as Stella's so she is a mermaid~
I am a Dryad which means I have the same zodiac as Flora and while some of the aspects that correspond to it are accurate to me, I would say I am more like the Mermaid zodiac which I believe is Stella's.
It was so nostalgic to watch your video, thanks to you I felt like I am in my childhood! In my country (Ukraine), we had magazines each month where there were Winx girls (+-15 cm in height) figures in their Believix form (plus there were Flora, Bloom and Stella in ballgowns, and Sky in a suit)))! There also were some magazines where you could get a different jewelry and buy a whole jewelry box separately for them)
I think that I have the most unique timeline with my discovery of the Winx franchise. My first ever encounter with it was through Winx Game 2006 (the one developed by Konami, surprisingly its kinda good for what it is), because I had 2 minutes in a store with my parents, i grabbed it thinking that it will be a cd disk with cartoon on it (it was not))), then Winx magazines and Pixie magazines that I collected in 2007-2011(I became a very big Winx comic fan and read it digitaly after) somewhere in between I watched 4th season of Winx still ongoing, aaand in 2016 I decided to watch first time ever all other seasons xD
Sounds like you had a pretty good intro to the Winx Club! The comics and the Pixie Mag (predecessor to PopPixie) are probably my favourite parts of Winx, the games are super nostalgic, and season 4 has a very special place in my childhood... Sounds ideal to me!
I remember a winx club website similiar to moviestarplanet where u could make ur own character, meet other player and it was kinda openworld. It had believix outfits and stuff. Maybe around 2009-2011... i wish i could play it once again
Thank you once again for awakening this worm feeling of nostalgic memories coming back to me. Hallowinx and all of region-exclusive merchandise reminded me of my elementary school time. Back in the day, I used to watch different toy commercial for planty diverse franchises in as many different languages as possible. Winx wasn't avoided, ofc xD So I discovered lots of different doll lines and hallowinx screeamed MH vibe. Can't wait for the next part, maybe you can talk about some other country-exclusive merch, here in Serbia we mostly had conditory products such as flips, bubble gums, chocolate eggs, lolipops etc. and sticker album named winx fashion show (vinks modna revija ). P.S. I remember some of the turkish commercials for winx products by heart xD My favorite was that bebek kalem one for enchantix 3D pen.
Very interesting topics! In my country(Albania) there were sold books dedicated to each Winx and their hobby like:bloom and magic,stella and fashion,layla and sports and so on.I tried to google them in my language and english but there weren't any results.But there books in turkish with the exact title and artwork used just with different backround style.They were sold for only 2$ and didn't have any original title presented as happens with most of the translated books.If you want to look them for yourself the books in turkish had a word "kesfet" and the winx names on the cover.I suggest you also write book(in turkish) just to make the results more clear.
Oh cool I found them! What was their content exactly? Was it in-universe content, or were they like real-life informational books? They seem to be by Gabriella Santini who has done a lot of Winx books actually.
@@talkytilki They had real life information about their hobbies and even interviews with famous people of their hobby.For example Stella interviewed Coco Chanel
@@fireblast4642 what? I'm Albanian too but I have no info about these books 😭. I only remember some Winx cards sold at minimarkets in the old style and a techna doll-pen

1:03 I think I can agree with this version of zodiac for me cause I am a mix of both childish personality and maturish one (at least thats howI understood the first sentece-) 2:43 hallowinx was definitly one of the iconic ones for me along with the 3:51 one and possibly some other ones. Such a shame the hallowinx thing didnt became something more cause those designs gotta be one of my favorite ones (I love Bloom's small drilled twintails ,how well they blended the colors on winx hairs and all of the girls look amazing in set!) 5:48 unfortunately ,I only was able to get 2things from winx club (its pretty rare to find anything of them in my country). The first one being the doll of Flora with the simple design (simple dress ,boots and small wings). Idk if that was a random outfit or maybe taken from the comic but it does give a vibe of season 6.The second was the comic (actually more like a magazine in which you got something,a small story and other stuffs like that. In my case I got a story related to Galatea and a guy she was secretly dating). Oh and I also had the collab between winx and lego or something like that (I had Stella and Layla/Aisha one but I have no fucking idea where they went) 14:13 for me the most nostalgic winx games were the "world of winx" , "dress me up", "make over magic" , "make up time" ,"fairy makeover" ,the coloring ones (the first with winx in their season 4 casual outfit and the second one with winx in the comic outfits that you showed in 3:51 except Musa and Stella are in their magic winx form and Tecna isnt here ;.;) ,the puzzle game (specifically the one where there was beautiful pictures of winx with 1part being enchantix and the second being believix and of course LOTS of dress up games (Suprisingly the older ones mostly ) and even the old one with only Bloom ,Flora and Stella which you can still play to this day! 18:18 I had always the soft spot for Riven and Musa relantionship and Im mad that season 3 decided to again cause some stupid drama between them when this season already had a lot of plots to begin with :[ (also love your channel. Its a shame that you only have 2k subs cause your videos are really unique and as a fan of winx ,its nice to find out more things related to the show)
Are you a unicorn or a nereid? (Sorry I was moving through them too quickly 😅) I really think Hallowinx could have become an interesting segment of the franchise if they had done more with it, like with the webisode. I think the more spooky vibes and the earlier seasons go well together. Plus it would have been profitable for them too, since they could reuse it every year. Halloween really does feel like Winx's time to shine. I think the comic issue you're talking about is 144 - Enchanted Melody! Tbh, I actually like Riven, as the specialist with the most characterisation. As a child I was really fascinated by his psychological landscape we got to see in season 1, when he is imprisoned in Cloud Tower. So I kind of have a soft spot for Rivusa too, especially based on the comics, although there are also other interesting love interests for Musa in the comics, like Lukas. I think it's okay to have 'negative representation' with the more turbulent relationship, since multiple other examples exist in the same show with which a child can compare. However, whilst in seasons 1 - 3, you can kind of forgive him for teenage immaturity, I really dislike the way he behaves in season 4, sabotaging Musa's career and accusing her of cheating when she seeks her producer's approval. But I don't know - Riven is a pretty important part of Winx for me, as controversial as it may be as a take 😅 Thank you for your support! It means a lot 🥺 I think my lack of upload schedule does not help, but as long as people are enjoying I am satisfied...
@@talkytilki nereid (specifically 12th of the september) - unfortunately after season 1-3 ,creators started to use the love drama a lot when they had no idea what to do which resulted in a lot of scenarios that were out of character or just stupid (like the whole Brandon x Mitzi thingy or Musa and Riven drama in season 5 ). Instead of that ,they could explore platonic relationships like they kinda did with Flora and Sky in season 5 or they explore winx's past ,their planets more ect. This would be very beneficial ,especially for Flora since she is the least explored character in the show that even Tecna beats her in that regard (and we know how dirty Tecna was done in the later season so it says a lot how much Flora was wasted) dont worry about the lack of upload scheldule! Being a youtuber shouldnt feel like a job to you but more like a hobby. Make videos whenever you want. As a person who barely was in the school in this month (literally only 3days) , I can say confidently that your channel is in the better state xd
I am a turkish person, as a turkish person I collected turkish winx stationery, and I am aware of bootleg stationery too, one of backpacks have named after a korean flash game franchise.
Для фанатов из России были выпущены специальные игры, я помню две из них "Свидание Стеллы" и "День Рождения Блум", но их было больше. Еще я помню, что в файлах игры были найдены эксклюзивные наряды и трансформации (База, Чармикс, Энчантикс) для Рокси. Сейчас в России достаточно много ностальгирующих товаров по франшизе Winx в открытой продаже. Если тебе интересно - дай знать, я покажу тебе ассортимент магазина. Например: шариковые ручки (5:56) я купила себе набор из 3 коробок в прошлом году. Чайник (6:27) недавно видела в магазине. У меня есть раскраска с этими девочками (7:39), я купила ее в этом году. Дай знать, если тебе интересно я дам тебе все фото и ссылки
Thanks for the tip about the games... I've found playthroughs for Stella's Date and Bloom's Birthday and 2 others in that series, but I've not been able to find a playthrough of Roxy's game. Is that where the exclusive designs were? Also, can I ask how they were delivered? Were they exclusive to the Russian Winx website? Also, thank you for the offer for the merch, but it's not something I'm considering currently. 🙈 x
@@talkytilki No, no, don't think badly of me! I wasn't going to sell you these products, I thought you might be interested in looking at old winx products in an online store (I thought if you agree, I'll just give you links to online stores) These Winx games were developed by a Russian company for the Russian PC market. Files with unknown transformations of Roxy were pulled out of the game "Bloom's Birthday" by my subscriber. I found these pictures, but they seemed different to me... probably false memories or the Mandella effect. How can I give you these pictures? Facebook?
Oh whoops! Yes please! I'd love to see them and the online merch too...😁I have insta if that works? I'm just TalkyTilki on there too. Also feel free to keep writing in Russian to me: It's good practice for me! (I would have answered in Russian, but I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard on my laptop 😅)
@@talkytilki Oh, sorry, TH-cam didn't send a notification about the response comment I can't log in or register again on Instagram, because this is a banned social network in Russia. (even with VPN) I tried to send links here, but TH-cam does not skip messages with links Do you have a discord maybe?
All I knew about Winx Club was that Italian animation tried their best at a Magical Girl series and they did try to Animefy it up. To varying degrees but it was still a nice series when I originally watched it 20 years ago. Could have done better in their world building.
2:09 My Fairy Zodiac sign is Mermaid, just like Stella. But I never particularly felt like I have the same personality as our blonde fairy! 😅 But who knows if the personality description of this sign isn't mine in some way? 😆 02:43 HalloWinx Monster Mission is probably one of my favorite piece of media Winx! 😍 And having the 4 dolls one day is a absolute goal for me! Clearly, Monster High has something to do with its creation in 2011. For the webisodes, they were only mentioned in those pages of early toys catalogues destined to directors of Italian toys shops and, as you can see, the pictures of the dolls were still prototypes and not the final product. A HalloWinx Spring doll line was even announced for 2012 in this kind of catalogue but was never released. So I guess the webseries was maybe the initial idea then Rainbow decided to turn it as an adventure in 3 comics for the magazine. 8:59 Okay, I wasn't never interested by collecting all the Winx Club books by La Bibliothèque Rose because they are just novelizations of the episodes (actually, I only have the 6 first ones and the novelizations of Winx on Ice and the 2 movies) but the differences you're mentioning make me want to buy them and read them. Damn it! 🤣 09:53 You're welcome! 😉 I still hope one day Italian fans will remember these comics and scan the pages to share them on the web. I'm very curious to read those adventures which are... surely better than what the Italian Winx ClubMagazine gives us recently. 😏 12:09 Honestly, I think you could make an entire series of videos about the Winx Club Italian books... and still have content to talk about it! 😂 14:22 I remember so well of those games! I never was able to get until the end. I remember also the Pixie Rescue video game on 4Kids era, the dress up game and the Bloomix Quest on Nickelodeon website, the Kiko Adventure (always lost in less than 2 minutes) and can we talk about the mini-games of the official website when the Season 4 came out? 17:08 I don't have examples since we didn't have this kind of letters in the French Winx Club Magazine but I remember someone shared a page where Tecna answered at a letter... from her brother?! 😂 Thank you for your video! So much interesting to watch. ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed! About Hallowinx, the 'feel' of those three comics is really off compared to the ones before and after them which are in the typical hand-drawn comics style. In some panels, they look especially like they are digitally created or at least coloured. The backdrops to me look like backdrops for animation, especially in the werewolf one... (I don't really know how to explain, maybe someone who knows about these things can help out???😅) All of that makes me think that maybe they did get into the early stages of animation (but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?). It's such a weird thing to me that they would promote a whole doll-line, especially one that is so off-brand, only in the magazines??? But I guess we were still relatively more paper-based back then... One of the other differences in BR that I've heard of is that Musa is referred to as an orphan, but the thing is sometimes people who've lost only one parent can be called that too, so I don't know and I can't check if there was really such a big divergence like this...😅 And also omg Tecna brother lore??? That would actually have been cool if it had been canon, since sibling relationships in the original arc weren't super explored. It's kind of strange - now that I think about it - that none of the 12 main characters in Winx had a brother...🤔🤔🤔
@@talkytilki I think I understand what you mean: the backgrounds of the forest in the first comic have something reminds what some background artist made for PopPixie. It would be interesting to ask to the comic artist (don't remember his name, gotta check out) if he worked with some pre-existing material or if Tridimensional/Rainbow just let the artists did something different from regular comics. For the webisodes, on the picture of prototype dolls you shown on the video there's a little sneak peak of what could have been the initial scenario: the Winx fairies disguise themselves in order to go to a party organized by the Trix and stole a magic spell that could destroys Alfea school. But as I said, there is always a big divide between what Rainbow announces and what they do.
Oh really! Is it in the little pink box? The quality is so bad, I couldn't make it out. That's really interesting. So do you think that's why it went from Lady Hallowinx to Hallowinx Monster Mission? At first they had this webisode planned, but then changed their mind to make stories about monsters in the comics, probably due to timeline constraints...?🤔
@@talkytilki Yes, the quality is very very bad but it says : "Thanks to a new disguise, the Winx manage to access the Trix party (historical antagonists of the Winx) to find the secret formula that could damage the planet of Alfea!" The fact that the text says "PLANET of Alfea" makes me think that maybe the "web episodes of 3 minutes" is just a hooking text made by someone working at Witty Toys/Giochi Preziosi without knowing the Winx Club series when he/she send the informations. Besides, in 2010-2011, Rainbow studio must have been busy with the animation of the TV Specials and Season 5-6 with Nickelodeon. So I imagine making animation for the HalloWinx dolls would be too much extra work (they did a redrawn of HalloWinx episode for the doll commercial which is enough).
Surprised you didn't talk about the winx club pc game. It was made in 2006 i think and was based on the first season of the 4kids dub. It skipped a few filler episodes but i did enjoy playing the game. It's fun to play when you're bored. I mean it's not a high tech game and the graphics are alright but it's so fun! (Atleast for me)❤
In Turkey Winx is HUGE until 2015! 2015! And in 2016 they made TWO competitions first ones prize was a fly to ITALY and the other one was having all Dreamix dolls just amazing
I mean its stil fairly popular here Hell sometimes it gets mentioned as a reference during conversations. Like the popularity this show had in Turkey was very big. Even today there are a lot of dedicated Turkish Winx Fans
I know i am one,tho they don't know somethings that only VERY advenced Winxers know or just less mentioned thing such as Winx On Ice but I am not really intreracting with other Turkish fans idk why
@@winxclubcomejointheclub6066 Thats prob because most Turkish people arent in English speaking Winx Spaces Turkish Winx Fans dont spread info like Winx on Ice or magazines most of the time so
I'm a Phoenix! I didn't know about any of these things other than the Hallowinx because I like the outfits and I'm trying to find pngs of them for my winx club wallpaper collage art lol. A little obscure winxology I know is the Italian versions of "songs from season 3" has been officially released a while ago and titled "winx club 3 - enchantix", with high quality audio and separate tracks rather than every 3 songs together in one track. I hope they release season 2 songs next and the entire season 1 album for streaming. Especially "crazy for you" Italian version and "a sky without moon or stars". They used the melody of the latter for a song in the winx power show musical and titled it "the song of musa/il canto di musa", but change the lyrics. Btw I hope you make a video about the musical shows and the country exclusive ones next! So I can go on a journey hunting the CDs of all of them lol
Ah good tip about the OST! From the last video too, you seemed best informed about the music...😁😁😁 I'm still patiently waiting for them to release the background instrumentals in high quality like 💀 I think most of them were by Poggi & Cerra? Hmmm, about the shows that would be quite tricky... To my knowledge only the Dutch, Italian, and Russian musicals are up on TH-cam; of others, you can find bits and pieces, like the Portuguese and Turkish. I'd have to look into it. 🤔 If you want high quality images of the Hallowinx outfits, the best ones I could find were on Teremiao's Deviantart, because they designed the poses I believe?
@talkytilki I don't know every music ever released by winx, but I do frequent the wiki for that and streaming services and youtube, and managed to find some channels that uplaod rare stuff! downloads.khinsider has winx club games ost rips Winxclub63, sunmxgic, winxclubsongs, and wilford clux on youtube for winx osts and bgm, especially the last channel. Enjoy! Thanks for the tip about Teremiao!
Remember playing magic attack when I was like 3 (good times). Not sure if this counts, but the show’s snippets of gay rep (not sure if there’s anything to go off, but it’s an idea)
Hmm that would work actually, because I want to make a video in this series about things within the show specifically (rather than merch and companion material) that seem to not get discussed. Lucy and Mirta, and Palladium, right?
To correct you "la bibliothèque rose" , "pink library" equally releases books for boys specially french series like titeuf, tintin, lucky luke, and oui oui.. even garfield and marvel, so it was never targeted for girls only, it just happened to be pink.. and yes as a lebanese fan who discovered the franchise in french, i have all of them .
Some more "gender-neutral" franchises have been published by La Bibliothèque Rose, but mostly " boys' " franchises are covered by La Bibliothèque Verte, and the gendered marketing for the series has only increased in recent years. If you look at currently active collections, it is especially strong.
i'm not sure exactly what such thing is called, but its a small package of sugary flakes and once you put it on your tongue, you can hear satisfying popping sounds in your ears. i remember always buying the musa one🥹
I'm sorry I was a little low energy this video, but I really just wanted to get the ball rolling again. I hope you enjoy nonetheless...

THE FACT THAT THERE IS EVEN MORE WINX CLUB CONTENT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IS EXCITING!!!
PART 3 ?🖤
Bloom is in born 10 December 1988. That was the year of the Dragon. And she is the fairy of the dragon flame. Very interesting the Winx zodiacs.
I am from Bulgaria and i don't know if these were Bulgaria exclusive, probably not, but i remember being in a library and finding a mini series of winx books. Each little book was about each winx ship. It was stories that weren't in the show but weren't against the cannon either and the first one was about Bloom and Sky and i remember they found two halfs of broken heart and put them together or something like this.
reminds me of that one scene from season 5
as a kid i was so mad when i found out my winx zodiac was chimera because of Chimera and her mother that manipulated Radius lmao
Idk if this was Netherlands only but I remember having a whole card game based on winx. I still have it somewhere but idk where but with what I know now i’d say it was literally “Dungeons and dragons Winx Club edition”. I remember there where those dices with symbols and lots of sides and also like a special glitter card that was like a hypnosis spell. I never actually played it as I got those cards and dice on a flea market and I don’t remember there being any instuctions on how to play😶
I also remember there was a supermarket action where you could get exclusive books and then it was like “Stella’s fashion advice” or “Magical gardening tips from Flora”. Every winx girl had this kind of “tip” book. I was only able to collect Bloom and Flora’s book though but a big site from my country still sells them.
Hippogiff rules it’s our season 🤭
I played a lot with winx flash games during the 2000's ! They were a dressup game that I liked a lot, it's been while since I didn't find it.
I also remembered that on the winx website during the season 2-3 era where you could choose your favourite character among the winx AND the specialist! I know it because I choose Timmy (i might be the only one in the world to do it 😂) The characters had a description of their lives, this is how I knew that Aisha/Layla was not there at the beginning. (And this is also how we learn that Riven was abandoned by his mother and that was why he hated women and didn't trust anyone)
They were also a dedicated website to the winx on live show in Netherlands or flemish Belgium. Or Italy since I remember they were using italian songs.
This is also on internet that I discoverd enchantix for the first time ! I downloaded the tecna picture 😂
oh the riven tea... 👀🍵
I wonder if this has been archived somewhere?🤔
Your channel is such an underrated gem. I love your videos so much, your content feels so original as it covers parts of the franchise the fandom doesn't discuss that much (at all even), i really enjoyed your retrospective videos and how you present them. Keep up the good work
thank you 🥺👉👈
Wow, you're so lucky to have had so many fond memories of the merch. I remember wanting Winx toys so bad as a kid, but they didn't seem to be selling them in my area. I did have a season one coloring book, but I coveted the doll advertisements on the back. I never came across them in real life, or any other of the merch in this video. It's fascinating to learn about.
I’m a centaur and from the brief blurb it’s pretty accurate.
PLEASE UPLOAD MORE, i love this channel so much already
Hallowinx web - возможно имеется в виду серия из второго сезона с таким же названием. Также есть реклама, где фрагменты из второго сезона Winx перерисовали в одежду Hallowinx
I tend to separete the 2 eras of Winx, the first one is when it aired on Cartoon Network-seasons 1 to 3 and the Nick Era
In the CN era we didn't get many things when it came to merch, sure I have all the Winx Magazines, but not many other things.
In The Nick era, it was a extreme push to license things about the Winx here in Brazil, so we have a lot of stuff, from coloring books to clothes.
In the Nick era, I was already in my late teens, and they stopped publishing the Winx Club magazine, but the dolls showed up more.
The scenes at 5:26 are from the Season 6 trailer. The characters in those scenes are prototype designs of the Children Of The Night (vampires in episode 11,12), the werewolves from episode 17 and the tree monsters rising from the ground.
whoops... that's what I get for not watching the later seasons as dedicatedly... 🙈 Thanks for letting me know; I'll cut them out. (They were in someone's Hallowinx montage, and there are vampires and werewolves in the comics too, in the same digital art style rather than typical hand drawn comics style; that's how I made the mistake...😅)
I comepletey forgot about attack to magix until now! I know I played that game quite a bit, but I never beat it. Can't remember how far I got. I also remember a game where Flora was flying and you had to fly past obstacles like Knut and the blue troll? But I don't remember much else about it.
Thank you for bringing up these memories and I am excited for part 3!
I remembered an additional little winx music trivia I know. The singers from winx power show, Mary Dima, Melissa Marchetto, and Dania Mansi were the singing voices of most of the winx on ice soundtrack, with the addition of Monica Cialona and Fabio Serri on "i songi a modo mio" and "animi nobili" respectfully. I also think Fabio Serri provided background vocals on "richorda che" because I head a male voice in the background vocals of it but there isn't any proof of that. The female aforementioned singers sing the roles of all the winx girls and in the group vocals, while the skaters were lipsynching to the songs. There's a booklet of the CD that has the credits in it apparently but I can't find any scans unfortunately.
Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔 it might be something worth combing through the old Winx Skyrock forums for. If you want any info on the live shows, it's head first into the dumpster I'm afraid... But there are a lot of gems amongst all the infighting: I might take a look!
I still use the Winx Zodiacs until this day for my OCs. It's still on the website of my language. I was exactly born at the day when chimera begins. Same with my brother but with Griffin. And my best friend's birthday is on the same day as Stella's so she is a mermaid~
Attack to Magix was soooooo hard! I could never beat it as a child no matter what I did, lol.
I am a Dryad which means I have the same zodiac as Flora and while some of the aspects that correspond to it are accurate to me, I would say I am more like the Mermaid zodiac which I believe is Stella's.
It was so nostalgic to watch your video, thanks to you I felt like I am in my childhood!
In my country (Ukraine), we had magazines each month where there were Winx girls (+-15 cm in height) figures in their Believix form (plus there were Flora, Bloom and Stella in ballgowns, and Sky in a suit)))! There also were some magazines where you could get a different jewelry and buy a whole jewelry box separately for them)
I think that I have the most unique timeline with my discovery of the Winx franchise. My first ever encounter with it was through Winx Game 2006 (the one developed by Konami, surprisingly its kinda good for what it is), because I had 2 minutes in a store with my parents, i grabbed it thinking that it will be a cd disk with cartoon on it (it was not))), then Winx magazines and Pixie magazines that I collected in 2007-2011(I became a very big Winx comic fan and read it digitaly after) somewhere in between I watched 4th season of Winx still ongoing, aaand in 2016 I decided to watch first time ever all other seasons xD
Sounds like you had a pretty good intro to the Winx Club! The comics and the Pixie Mag (predecessor to PopPixie) are probably my favourite parts of Winx, the games are super nostalgic, and season 4 has a very special place in my childhood... Sounds ideal to me!
I remember a winx club website similiar to moviestarplanet where u could make ur own character, meet other player and it was kinda openworld. It had believix outfits and stuff. Maybe around 2009-2011... i wish i could play it once again
Thank you once again for awakening this worm feeling of nostalgic memories coming back to me. Hallowinx and all of region-exclusive merchandise reminded me of my elementary school time. Back in the day, I used to watch different toy commercial for planty diverse franchises in as many different languages as possible. Winx wasn't avoided, ofc xD
So I discovered lots of different doll lines and hallowinx screeamed MH vibe. Can't wait for the next part, maybe you can talk about some other country-exclusive merch, here in Serbia we mostly had conditory products such as flips, bubble gums, chocolate eggs, lolipops etc. and sticker album named winx fashion show (vinks modna revija ).
P.S. I remember some of the turkish commercials for winx products by heart xD My favorite was that bebek kalem one for enchantix 3D pen.
I'm glad you enjoyed! 💗 And of course, I'll keep it in mind for the next part 😉
Very interesting topics!
In my country(Albania) there were sold books dedicated to each Winx and their hobby like:bloom and magic,stella and fashion,layla and sports and so on.I tried to google them in my language and english but there weren't any results.But there books in turkish with the exact title and artwork used just with different backround style.They were sold for only 2$ and didn't have any original title presented as happens with most of the translated books.If you want to look them for yourself the books in turkish had a word "kesfet" and the winx names on the cover.I suggest you also write book(in turkish) just to make the results more clear.
Oh cool I found them! What was their content exactly? Was it in-universe content, or were they like real-life informational books? They seem to be by Gabriella Santini who has done a lot of Winx books actually.
@@talkytilki They had real life information about their hobbies and even interviews with famous people of their hobby.For example Stella interviewed Coco Chanel
@@fireblast4642 what? I'm Albanian too but I have no info about these books 😭. I only remember some Winx cards sold at minimarkets in the old style and a techna doll-pen
@@kristjanpushi7598 Me te vertete??
Une edhe ne qytete te tjera ne kancelari i kam pare para 3-4 vitesh.Perveç librit me Blumin qe eshte shume i rralle.Ajo qe me ben pershtypje eshte qe keta librat s'kishin shtepi botuese sic kane librat e tjere(Bukinist).Edhe une i mbaj mend kartat me Winx qe te qellonin brenda nje qeseje me lepirese dhe çamçakiza..😅
Oh, we had these in Romania as well! Maybe it's a Balkan/ east eurppe thing.
1:03 I think I can agree with this version of zodiac for me cause I am a mix of both childish personality and maturish one (at least thats howI understood the first sentece-)
2:43 hallowinx was definitly one of the iconic ones for me along with the 3:51 one and possibly some other ones. Such a shame the hallowinx thing didnt became something more cause those designs gotta be one of my favorite ones (I love Bloom's small drilled twintails ,how well they blended the colors on winx hairs and all of the girls look amazing in set!)
5:48 unfortunately ,I only was able to get 2things from winx club (its pretty rare to find anything of them in my country). The first one being the doll of Flora with the simple design (simple dress ,boots and small wings). Idk if that was a random outfit or maybe taken from the comic but it does give a vibe of season 6.The second was the comic (actually more like a magazine in which you got something,a small story and other stuffs like that. In my case I got a story related to Galatea and a guy she was secretly dating). Oh and I also had the collab between winx and lego or something like that (I had Stella and Layla/Aisha one but I have no fucking idea where they went)
14:13 for me the most nostalgic winx games were the "world of winx" , "dress me up", "make over magic" , "make up time" ,"fairy makeover" ,the coloring ones (the first with winx in their season 4 casual outfit and the second one with winx in the comic outfits that you showed in 3:51 except Musa and Stella are in their magic winx form and Tecna isnt here ;.;) ,the puzzle game (specifically the one where there was beautiful pictures of winx with 1part being enchantix and the second being believix and of course LOTS of dress up games (Suprisingly the older ones mostly ) and even the old one with only Bloom ,Flora and Stella which you can still play to this day!
18:18 I had always the soft spot for Riven and Musa relantionship and Im mad that season 3 decided to again cause some stupid drama between them when this season already had a lot of plots to begin with :[
(also love your channel. Its a shame that you only have 2k subs cause your videos are really unique and as a fan of winx ,its nice to find out more things related to the show)
Are you a unicorn or a nereid? (Sorry I was moving through them too quickly 😅)
I really think Hallowinx could have become an interesting segment of the franchise if they had done more with it, like with the webisode. I think the more spooky vibes and the earlier seasons go well together. Plus it would have been profitable for them too, since they could reuse it every year. Halloween really does feel like Winx's time to shine.
I think the comic issue you're talking about is 144 - Enchanted Melody!
Tbh, I actually like Riven, as the specialist with the most characterisation. As a child I was really fascinated by his psychological landscape we got to see in season 1, when he is imprisoned in Cloud Tower. So I kind of have a soft spot for Rivusa too, especially based on the comics, although there are also other interesting love interests for Musa in the comics, like Lukas. I think it's okay to have 'negative representation' with the more turbulent relationship, since multiple other examples exist in the same show with which a child can compare. However, whilst in seasons 1 - 3, you can kind of forgive him for teenage immaturity, I really dislike the way he behaves in season 4, sabotaging Musa's career and accusing her of cheating when she seeks her producer's approval. But I don't know - Riven is a pretty important part of Winx for me, as controversial as it may be as a take 😅
Thank you for your support! It means a lot 🥺 I think my lack of upload schedule does not help, but as long as people are enjoying I am satisfied...
@@talkytilki nereid (specifically 12th of the september)
- unfortunately after season 1-3 ,creators started to use the love drama a lot when they had no idea what to do which resulted in a lot of scenarios that were out of character or just stupid (like the whole Brandon x Mitzi thingy or Musa and Riven drama in season 5 ). Instead of that ,they could explore platonic relationships like they kinda did with Flora and Sky in season 5 or they explore winx's past ,their planets more ect. This would be very beneficial ,especially for Flora since she is the least explored character in the show that even Tecna beats her in that regard (and we know how dirty Tecna was done in the later season so it says a lot how much Flora was wasted)
dont worry about the lack of upload scheldule! Being a youtuber shouldnt feel like a job to you but more like a hobby. Make videos whenever you want. As a person who barely was in the school in this month (literally only 3days) , I can say confidently that your channel is in the better state xd
I am a turkish person, as a turkish person I collected turkish winx stationery, and I am aware of bootleg stationery too, one of backpacks have named after a korean flash game franchise.
Riiiight the winx zodiac signs. I remember looking at it for hours in all my winx magazines
I'm a Salamander and somehow it's on point. Actually too on point I'd say
I no longer identify as a Sagittarius, I’m a dragon baby hear me roar!
14:38 I remember playing Attack on Magix! game.
04:19 yes, yes it was… thought it was obvi
Для фанатов из России были выпущены специальные игры, я помню две из них "Свидание Стеллы" и "День Рождения Блум", но их было больше. Еще я помню, что в файлах игры были найдены эксклюзивные наряды и трансформации (База, Чармикс, Энчантикс) для Рокси. Сейчас в России достаточно много ностальгирующих товаров по франшизе Winx в открытой продаже. Если тебе интересно - дай знать, я покажу тебе ассортимент магазина.
Например: шариковые ручки (5:56) я купила себе набор из 3 коробок в прошлом году. Чайник (6:27) недавно видела в магазине. У меня есть раскраска с этими девочками (7:39), я купила ее в этом году.
Дай знать, если тебе интересно я дам тебе все фото и ссылки
Thanks for the tip about the games... I've found playthroughs for Stella's Date and Bloom's Birthday and 2 others in that series, but I've not been able to find a playthrough of Roxy's game. Is that where the exclusive designs were? Also, can I ask how they were delivered? Were they exclusive to the Russian Winx website?
Also, thank you for the offer for the merch, but it's not something I'm considering currently. 🙈

@@talkytilki No, no, don't think badly of me! I wasn't going to sell you these products, I thought you might be interested in looking at old winx products in an online store (I thought if you agree, I'll just give you links to online stores)
These Winx games were developed by a Russian company for the Russian PC market.
Files with unknown transformations of Roxy were pulled out of the game "Bloom's Birthday" by my subscriber. I found these pictures, but they seemed different to me... probably false memories or the Mandella effect.
How can I give you these pictures? Facebook?
Oh whoops! Yes please! I'd love to see them and the online merch too...😁I have insta if that works? I'm just TalkyTilki on there too.
Also feel free to keep writing in Russian to me: It's good practice for me! (I would have answered in Russian, but I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard on my laptop 😅)

I can't log in or register again on Instagram, because this is a banned social network in Russia. (even with VPN)

Do you have a discord maybe?
i think my first actual exposure to winx club was a hallowinx dress up flash game of bloom, of all things. im pretty sure it was unofficial though.
All I knew about Winx Club was that Italian animation tried their best at a Magical Girl series and they did try to Animefy it up.
To varying degrees but it was still a nice series when I originally watched it 20 years ago.
Could have done better in their world building.
I have 3 Winx Club DVD games. I used to have 5, but 2 of them couldn’t be installed.
I was way too distracted last Saturday with writing lol
Hope you had a great weekend!
I'm here to learn more fairy knowledge x)
ugh I wish I was writing more, but the Muses have been neglecting me...
Hope yours was great too, and you enjoyed the vid! x
2:09 My Fairy Zodiac sign is Mermaid, just like Stella. But I never particularly felt like I have the same personality as our blonde fairy! 😅 But who knows if the personality description of this sign isn't mine in some way? 😆
02:43 HalloWinx Monster Mission is probably one of my favorite piece of media Winx! 😍 And having the 4 dolls one day is a absolute goal for me! Clearly, Monster High has something to do with its creation in 2011.
For the webisodes, they were only mentioned in those pages of early toys catalogues destined to directors of Italian toys shops and, as you can see, the pictures of the dolls were still prototypes and not the final product. A HalloWinx Spring doll line was even announced for 2012 in this kind of catalogue but was never released. So I guess the webseries was maybe the initial idea then Rainbow decided to turn it as an adventure in 3 comics for the magazine.
8:59 Okay, I wasn't never interested by collecting all the Winx Club books by La Bibliothèque Rose because they are just novelizations of the episodes (actually, I only have the 6 first ones and the novelizations of Winx on Ice and the 2 movies) but the differences you're mentioning make me want to buy them and read them. Damn it! 🤣
09:53 You're welcome! 😉 I still hope one day Italian fans will remember these comics and scan the pages to share them on the web. I'm very curious to read those adventures which are... surely better than what the Italian Winx ClubMagazine gives us recently. 😏
12:09 Honestly, I think you could make an entire series of videos about the Winx Club Italian books... and still have content to talk about it! 😂
14:22 I remember so well of those games! I never was able to get until the end. I remember also the Pixie Rescue video game on 4Kids era, the dress up game and the Bloomix Quest on Nickelodeon website, the Kiko Adventure (always lost in less than 2 minutes) and can we talk about the mini-games of the official website when the Season 4 came out?
17:08 I don't have examples since we didn't have this kind of letters in the French Winx Club Magazine but I remember someone shared a page where Tecna answered at a letter... from her brother?! 😂
Thank you for your video! So much interesting to watch. ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed!
About Hallowinx, the 'feel' of those three comics is really off compared to the ones before and after them which are in the typical hand-drawn comics style. In some panels, they look especially like they are digitally created or at least coloured. The backdrops to me look like backdrops for animation, especially in the werewolf one... (I don't really know how to explain, maybe someone who knows about these things can help out???😅) All of that makes me think that maybe they did get into the early stages of animation (but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree?). It's such a weird thing to me that they would promote a whole doll-line, especially one that is so off-brand, only in the magazines??? But I guess we were still relatively more paper-based back then...
One of the other differences in BR that I've heard of is that Musa is referred to as an orphan, but the thing is sometimes people who've lost only one parent can be called that too, so I don't know and I can't check if there was really such a big divergence like this...😅
And also omg Tecna brother lore??? That would actually have been cool if it had been canon, since sibling relationships in the original arc weren't super explored. It's kind of strange - now that I think about it - that none of the 12 main characters in Winx had a brother...🤔🤔🤔
@@talkytilki I think I understand what you mean: the backgrounds of the forest in the first comic have something reminds what some background artist made for PopPixie. It would be interesting to ask to the comic artist (don't remember his name, gotta check out) if he worked with some pre-existing material or if Tridimensional/Rainbow just let the artists did something different from regular comics.
For the webisodes, on the picture of prototype dolls you shown on the video there's a little sneak peak of what could have been the initial scenario: the Winx fairies disguise themselves in order to go to a party organized by the Trix and stole a magic spell that could destroys Alfea school. But as I said, there is always a big divide between what Rainbow announces and what they do.
Oh really! Is it in the little pink box? The quality is so bad, I couldn't make it out. That's really interesting. So do you think that's why it went from Lady Hallowinx to Hallowinx Monster Mission? At first they had this webisode planned, but then changed their mind to make stories about monsters in the comics, probably due to timeline constraints...?🤔
@@talkytilki Yes, the quality is very very bad but it says : "Thanks to a new disguise, the Winx manage to access the Trix party (historical antagonists of the Winx) to find the secret formula that could damage the planet of Alfea!"
The fact that the text says "PLANET of Alfea" makes me think that maybe the "web episodes of 3 minutes" is just a hooking text made by someone working at Witty Toys/Giochi Preziosi without knowing the Winx Club series when he/she send the informations.
Besides, in 2010-2011, Rainbow studio must have been busy with the animation of the TV Specials and Season 5-6 with Nickelodeon. So I imagine making animation for the HalloWinx dolls would be too much extra work (they did a redrawn of HalloWinx episode for the doll commercial which is enough).
Surprised you didn't talk about the winx club pc game. It was made in 2006 i think and was based on the first season of the 4kids dub. It skipped a few filler episodes but i did enjoy playing the game. It's fun to play when you're bored. I mean it's not a high tech game and the graphics are alright but it's so fun! (Atleast for me)❤
I need the hallowinx web episodes
I think I have almost all the bibliothèque rose books but I certainly don't have them near me. I hope my parents didn't threw them into the trash
In Turkey Winx is HUGE until 2015! 2015! And in 2016 they made TWO competitions first ones prize was a fly to ITALY and the other one was having all Dreamix dolls just amazing
I mean its stil fairly popular here
Hell sometimes it gets mentioned as a reference during conversations. Like the popularity this show had in Turkey was very big. Even today there are a lot of dedicated Turkish Winx Fans
I know i am one,tho they don't know somethings that only VERY advenced Winxers know or just less mentioned thing such as Winx On Ice but I am not really intreracting with other Turkish fans idk why
@@winxclubcomejointheclub6066 Thats prob because most Turkish people arent in English speaking Winx Spaces
Turkish Winx Fans dont spread info like Winx on Ice or magazines most of the time so
Does anyone remember a Winx MMORPG where you had to create your own planet and destroy enemies?
I'm a Phoenix!
I didn't know about any of these things other than the Hallowinx because I like the outfits and I'm trying to find pngs of them for my winx club wallpaper collage art lol.
A little obscure winxology I know is the Italian versions of "songs from season 3" has been officially released a while ago and titled "winx club 3 - enchantix", with high quality audio and separate tracks rather than every 3 songs together in one track. I hope they release season 2 songs next and the entire season 1 album for streaming. Especially "crazy for you" Italian version and "a sky without moon or stars". They used the melody of the latter for a song in the winx power show musical and titled it "the song of musa/il canto di musa", but change the lyrics.
Btw I hope you make a video about the musical shows and the country exclusive ones next! So I can go on a journey hunting the CDs of all of them lol
Ah good tip about the OST! From the last video too, you seemed best informed about the music...😁😁😁 I'm still patiently waiting for them to release the background instrumentals in high quality like 💀 I think most of them were by Poggi & Cerra?
Hmmm, about the shows that would be quite tricky... To my knowledge only the Dutch, Italian, and Russian musicals are up on TH-cam; of others, you can find bits and pieces, like the Portuguese and Turkish. I'd have to look into it. 🤔
If you want high quality images of the Hallowinx outfits, the best ones I could find were on Teremiao's Deviantart, because they designed the poses I believe?
@talkytilki I don't know every music ever released by winx, but I do frequent the wiki for that and streaming services and youtube, and managed to find some channels that uplaod rare stuff!
downloads.khinsider has winx club games ost rips
Winxclub63, sunmxgic, winxclubsongs, and wilford clux on youtube for winx osts and bgm, especially the last channel. Enjoy! Thanks for the tip about Teremiao!
Remember playing magic attack when I was like 3 (good times). Not sure if this counts, but the show’s snippets of gay rep (not sure if there’s anything to go off, but it’s an idea)
Hmm that would work actually, because I want to make a video in this series about things within the show specifically (rather than merch and companion material) that seem to not get discussed. Lucy and Mirta, and Palladium, right?
To correct you "la bibliothèque rose" , "pink library" equally releases books for boys specially french series like titeuf, tintin, lucky luke, and oui oui.. even garfield and marvel, so it was never targeted for girls only, it just happened to be pink.. and yes as a lebanese fan who discovered the franchise in french, i have all of them .
Some more "gender-neutral" franchises have been published by La Bibliothèque Rose, but mostly " boys' " franchises are covered by La Bibliothèque Verte, and the gendered marketing for the series has only increased in recent years. If you look at currently active collections, it is especially strong.
the hallowinx stuff is cool but i feel it would have made more sense if it was witches dressed like that and not the fairies
My fairy zodiac sign is centaur (feb 14)
according to Winx zodiac I am unicorn
(my birthday is 28 of August)
I'm a Triton as well😊
There were some Finland exclusive shirts at a store but nothing that special as most countries
omg what is that game on the right called at 16:47 ??!?!?!
It's Kmart's Haunted House game! You can still play it on Internet Archive.
I'm a dryad apparently
I am an Aquarius and in Winx lore I am Centaur. I don’t really think Centaur fits my vibe
i'm not sure exactly what such thing is called, but its a small package of sugary flakes and once you put it on your tongue, you can hear satisfying popping sounds in your ears. i remember always buying the musa one🥹
