Winx Club Scooter Vespa Toy Bloom Puzzle

It seems like no more than a month or two passes before I discover another kid’s show featuring scooters. This time it’s an Italian show even though it looks like it came straight from the shores of Japan.

Here’s a description of what the “Winx Club” is all about according to Wikipedia:

“Winx Club is an action and fantasy show combined with comedic elements. In the mystical dimension of Magix, three special schools educate modern fairies, ambitious witches and supernatural warriors, and wizards from all over the magical universe.”

Oh and Bloom (the main character) rides a scooter.

You can get Bloom doll with her bright pink scooter for $20 on the ToysRUS site. The puzzle was featured in a recent eBay auction and is harder to find.

Watch the TV Commercial for the Bloom Scooter Doll in some language that is definitely not Italian.

Back in November 2011, the Japanese proved yet again how rad they are by releasing a bunch of Hello Kitty & Tokidoki designed toys in their 7 ELEVEN (!) stores.

These can still be found on eBay for around $10 including shipping.
