Winx Club Believix (2012) Musa Doll
~ Story ~
Here is my Believix Musa doll. I got her in July 2012 from Toys R Us. She was the third one I got from this collection.
~ Review ~
I was somewhat disappointed with this line because of its lack of detail and cheap fabrics. However, I'll first state what I like about this doll. I like her face and make-up (I especially love sparkly make-up), and I also like her hair style which is accurate for the most part. Another thing that may be small but still very important, is that her pants go down to her knees, as the Witty Toys Believix Musa's pants didn't quite reach her knees. Another thing I like about this doll is that her eyebrows are a bluish color instead of brown. Her wings are also very nice. I like that they can flap, and I also like their detail. With the doll being fairly plain, the wings are what stand out the most. Now, here are my woes regarding this doll. Her shirt was very plain and the fabric is cheap. Almost all the fabric of the clothes is cheap. It wears out very easily, even the sparkly pink and purple fabrics. The red taffeta fabric is the worst though. I also wish that this doll's boots had been painted. Then there are the missing accessories: the red hair elastic, headband, gloves and gem on her pants. The neck tie Musa came with was also inaccurate. I also would have liked for the arms on this doll to have been more flexible, as they don't really bend too much. All in all, I do really like this doll, and she is one of my favorites in the line.
~ Customization ~
I added the hair tie, headband necklace, gloves and diamond on her pants, and also painted the boots and added glitter to the red fabric. The hair tie and necklace are not really meant to come off, as they are glued on. The headband is attached by thread, and also is not really meant to come off. The gloves can be removed, but it'd be frustrating to get them back on. I drowned the red fabric in glitter glue, hopefully to prevent further wear. The boots were painted with white acrylic paint with glitter over top. I had to replace the pink fabric on her top because it faded. It was replaced with new fabric and a more show accurate spaghetti strap. This customization took me a long time. Before I even took this picture I had to add another layer of glitter glue to her shirt to make it look better.
~ Final Thoughts ~
I like this doll a lot, and part of it is because of the customization I did. If she were the same as when I got her, I probably wouldn't like her this much. I would have to say that out of all the Believix girls, Musa's customization is my second best, with Aisha's being the one that turned best. Strangely enough, I wouldn't really recommend this doll to young children, because I don't think it will hold up during rough play. This doll is more suited for display.
