Moose updated their site with a lot of awesome Pixling items! We know most of them, but there are some newbies and some (unnecessary) changes.
The core Shimmerverse line is $17.99 each.
MARENA:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-w1-doll-single-pack-marena
She's an "ice mermaid" now. Definitely prefer her to the original.
FAYE:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-w1-doll-single-pack-faye
I think I prefer the original Faye, but I'm not quite sure.
CATLYN:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-w1-doll-single-pack-catlyn
Catlyn formerly Starla. I like Catlyn, so I'm not fussed about this change. I'm not sure which of these is my favorite, but it might be her. Or Marena.
PHEONA:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-w1-doll-single-pack-pheona
I think she was just Phoenix before so this name change makes sense. Can't have Phoenix the phoenix. I like her a lot, but I wish they weren't afraid to use red. This color scheme is very similar to Flitta and the original Deerlee.
BEARLINDA:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-doll-single-pack-bearlinda
Bearlinda is likely the new Flitta, so Walmart exclusive. She's the same $17.99 as the others.
The Galaxy Hair dolls are $22.99 each.
DEERLEE:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-galaxy-hair-doll-single-pack-deerlee
Gorgeous but I prefer the original. Her outfit was so much better.
FLYT:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-galaxy-hair-doll-single-pack-flyt
Here are the new name changes. Nebula is now Flyt. I don't hate Flyt, but Nebula was so much better. Flyt works better for a dragonfly, I guess, but she still has the spacey outfit. I'll likely call her both things.
PIPPA:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-galaxy-hair-doll-single-pack-pippa
Who? Oh, you mean FIRENSA. This is the worst dumbing down of a name they've done yet. And that's saying a lot, because I thought changing Celeste to Unia was really bad. Pippa the Firehorse. UGH. No, this is Firensa.
UNIA & RAINBOW STAR ($29.99):
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-doll-and-pet-pack
Pegacorn? No. That's a dragon with a horn and ass wings. They should have just invented a new name for whatever he is.
There is also a quick flash of another doll in the Shimmerverse commercial. A rainbow-haired exclusive is mentioned, but if that's her, she just looks like a slightly fancier version of this Unia wearing an ill-fitting dress.
The new Pixie Supremes line features much bigger dolls that are saddled with talking mirrors that jack up the price to $59.99. I could see one doll coming like this but TWO?! Not the best idea, Moose.
LUNA:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixie-supremes-fashion-doll
Luna the butterfly is the one we've seen before.
SKYLAR:
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixie-supremes-fashion-doll-deluxe-pack-exclusive
Oh, Skylar is also a butterfly. Sigh. This is apparently an exclusive. Skylar is touted as a deluxe, so she has an extra pair of shoes and an extra dress. Wonder if that means she'll be Target, because Wynter was the more deluxe Pixling. Skylar and Luna are essentially the same doll. Similar skintone, same head, same wings. Skylar has darker hair and a lighter dress, while Luna has lighter hair and a dark dress. Not a great move on Moose's part. If you're going to create another $60 doll, make her very different. I adore this line and even I'm not sure I'll buy both of these.
Is it just me or are doll companies obsessed with the name Skylar right now? It's like the new Jade.
I saved the best for last!
ANGELICA ($19.99):
https://www.moosetoys.com/products/magic-mixies-pixlings-s2-holiday-doll
The colorrrrrrrs! I LOVE HER. Angelica the golden angel is the holiday exclusive. Not sure where she'll be sold. Maybe Amazon will get this one if I'm right about Skylar being Target? I think she's going to be my new overall favorite. I am utterly in love with this color scheme and her entire design.
I'm also pleased to see a 20-pack of the new mini Mixies. I'll buy that. It looks like the regular-sized Mixlings in the cauldrons are over for now.
Most of these are really cute, though I'm also a bit miffed by the name changes. If I get one, I'll probably call them their old names.
ReplyDeleteAlso that... Pegacorn... is kind of hilarious. Like, didn't they want to use Alicorn? I know MLP uses that word but last I checked it wasn't, like, trademarked.
