Huh, I had no idea they'd gotten so expensive.
I guess because they were a little pricey to start with. I seem to recall they were in the range of $24 rather than the typical $10.
Not sure why some of those are so pricey though. Maybe just unavailability? Or just a few sellers with optimistic pricing? The loose dolls don't appear to be very pricey on ebay.
I loved Winx Club and owned 3 dolls. I wanted all of them haha. Actually lately I have been thinking about searching for the Winx dolls again, so seeing this topic peaked my interest!
I think they weren't widely available for a long time so maybe that's why? I don't recall seeing them a lot as a child.
I remember seeing them in stores. I know I for some reason bought a bag of dolls that were 90% Winx, about a year ago. I had no idea what they were at the time and it was one of those why not moments...

The mattel dolls from what I remember were sold in the US from 2003-2006? I only remember seeing the Season 1 & 2 dolls in store but apparently the season 3 Enchantix dolls were sold here also. (Michael's Winx website had a photo of an Enchantix Bloom in Target go for about 25 USD) Europe seemed to have more available as they even got a Mattel Daphne (Bloom's sister) released as part of the Winx movie merchandise. In terms of second hand pricing, Musa and Techna seem to go for the most.I even recall an MIB Musa Enchantix going for $600 on Ebay.

Thanks for the information
I wish they were sold more widespread around here since I prefer them to the Jakks Pacific ones but oh well. Any Winx is good Winx.

Yeah I only recall seeing the Season 2 dolls by Mattel in a Target once. The Mattel dolls seem to be the favorite brand among Winx fans.
Especially the Glam Magic Enchantix dolls. The details on those were splendid and decorative.Indeed, especially the wings. The hair was styled to beautifully too and the clothes were just gorgeous. Such a shame they're the more sought after ones though :( I would've at least liked it if Jakks Pacific tried to make enchantix dolls (besides just the Good Vs. Evil set they made which only included Bloom, Flora, and Stella...) Enchantix is probably just my favorite form in general though.
I just bought a Believeix Flora doll (she has her outfit, but not the boots or wings.) I think she's really pretty, but I'm not 100% sure I'll keep her... I have a lot of dolls :P

I just found a Bloom Believeix today down in a Australian second hand shop, in nearly mint condition with the only major flaw she had was missing one wing! (other than that her hair was a mess and her remaining wing had sections of glitter missing) And from an Australian perspective, I watched the show since the first episode aired until maybe season 3-4 (The last thing I remembered was the girls were at a waterfall and Stella had to make a cup to drink some magical water, but they couldn't touch it so a newer girl 'risked it' i think and I remember an ep with a building that kept on destroying itself with a picture of it on the wall.
So during airing, there was lots of dolls (I got myself a Stella) and it continued for a few years, didn't see much of it until my second or third year of high school. But I also saw 2 Bloom dolls (I grabbed one) and the other one still had plastics in her hair, with plastic moulded clothes and no wings. So idk if it's just ancient or somewhere in Aus is still selling them.
