Something that happened to me with Pixel Zoo Animation Studios. (ANTI LOST MEDIA)
Hello, today I am going to tell you something that happened to me with Pixel Zoo Animation Studios:
This all started in April 2023, when I asked the studio to pass me the Heroes Of Goo Jit Zu Rigs, but they denied me, then on May 2, 2023, I tried to contact someone from the series, and that was Angus Marlow, and since I didn't receive it very well, he told me that they had blocked my emails and contacts, and threatened me with legal action if I continued contacting anyone else.
Then I tried to ask for help from other animation studios I found, but without any response.
So I decided to publish a post on 4chan on June 20, 2023 in the /co/ Comics & Cartoons forum, but with less than favorable results.
So later I decided to post on the franchise's Reddit sub forum to post my situation.
Until I receive an email from a certain Pix El’Zoo on July 27, 2023, notifying me that Pixel Zoo had “burned down” and to contact other studios like Bang Zoom! Entertainment and ALOPRA, but to no avail.
So I began to suspect that it was trolling, and I commented on my case on the Reddit forum.
In addition to that, I posted a Change.org petition on the forum on September 5, 2023 and received a response from a user letting me know that he knows someone who made those Rigs, and that he should contact me.
He asked me for the specs of my PC, told me it doesn't meet the standards to run the Rigs, and said get me a new PC.

My local Walmart didn’t have any more Pixlings from the first wave of the Magic Mixies Pixlings, but they did have the Walmart Exclusive Flitta.
I did not take a photo, but her potion bottle looks the same as Unia’s except it has imbedded glitter in both the gem and the handle (and has a completely different butterfly design on the thin plastic covering the potion bottle).
Both have removable shoes and skirts (which are nicely detailed -better quality IMO than what Chelsea and the Enchantimals are wearing) but a bit hard to take off due to how tight the elastic is.
Their faces look very similar. Unia’s might be lightly wider than Flitta’s, and Unia has sculpted eyebrows, while Flitta does not.
Their ears look to share the same base, with Flitta’s being added to at the base (and I love all the little butterfly wing details they gave her ears).
Flitta has a little bit of product in her hair, but washed out easy enough and left her hair as soft as Unia’s.
Both Unia and Flitta look like fae background characters to one of the animated Barbie movies. :)
Aaaaand their profiles. They might have different noses?
And a close up of Flitta’s make-up. She still has lightly pixelated screening (except for her lips). With her cute butterfly make-up reminding me of RH Poppy’s. She also has a very cute and unique hair style.
You can see how clear her butterfly screening is in comparison.
Now for her wings:
They’re a softer/rubbery like plastic with imbedded sparkles. They might look nice with some painted detail, but otherwise, it’s not too bad as a solid colored piece compared to her multi-colored outfit.
A close up of her shoes. They have a cute ombré painted pattern, with lot of little sculpted butterfly and “beaded” detail.
Even a little butterfly sculpted on the bottom of one of her shoes (the other one has a hole in it for her stand) along with the Magic Mixies Pixling logo.
She has a sculpted on outfit (which I’m still not over the moon about - but I appreciate how detailed it is and how they painted it). I also like that her arms are not covered in “long sleeves,” unlike Unia, and thus her little hands’ paint will not peel off like some of the finger tips of my Unia are already starting to do.
Now for comparisons to other (mostly) butterfly/moth dolls.
More under the cut…
Both Luna and Bonita are much larger than Flitta and have the typical G1 Monster High articulation, removable clothes, and VERY detailed bodies. Luna is one of my favorite Monster High dolls, so I kinda prefer her over Flitta, but Flitta tries her best to stand out with these ghouls.
She’s so tiny!
It’s fun to see how these different doll companies took the moth/butterfly concept. They all have different antenna and way different wing structures. Luna and Flitta both have pointed ears, while Bonita has no ears.
Flitta thinks I need to compare her to some one more her size.
“Well, that’s a little better… ….what and who are these long lost cousins?”
G2 Monster High’s Garden Ghouls: Beetrice, Wingrid, and Lumina.
They are the teensie and shorter than Flitta and unfortunately have rubber and plastic (removable) clothing and I believe poly hair. They are much more difficult to pose compared to Flitta, due to their rubbery clothing and limited movement. They can only rotate their arms around (like an old school Barbie), and they can not lift their head up and down. They do have detailed bodies though.
They look like they might have had some cute potential, but we’re nerfed last minute towards the end of G2’s run (I had to order Beetrice online and, besides Treesa, never saw any of the other Garden Ghouls in store).
Sigh….what could have been….(photo credit to @m0nsterintheattic on Instagram).
Anyways, the last Mattel doll I wanted to compare her to is Belisse Butterfly:
…which I don’t have… Enchantimals and Pixlings are very similar in size, both have removable skirts and shoes and limited articulation. Flitta has a bit more articulation than Belisse, and a much more detailed outfit/shoes and molded on clothing, ears and make-up.
I find it funny they have similar shaped antenna. …I still think I prefer Flitta’s concept and execution compared to Belisse….and her chubby butterfly Dart.
Here is a fun comparison, another Moose Toys product: Buddykins the Zelf:
“I love your hair!”
“I love your sparkly outfit! Do you want to fly around the house knocking down all the dust bunnies off the shelves???”
“Do I ever!” Flitta really seems to take to Buddykins.
Like I said in my Unia review, the Zelfs and Pixlings look very compatible with each other; like they are two different species of fae in the same world….or long lost cousins on the family tree.
These two butterflies have very similar shaped antenna (they might be a reused model….?) and their wings feel like they are made from the same material (which also has glitter inside of too).
Before I could get more photos of the two, they both flew off to chase some dust bunnies.
………………………………………………………………..
All in all, I really like Flitta (she gives me mischievous fairy vibes and I love it) and I still really love the Pixling line so far….despite the molded on clothes, lack of knee joint and their large potion bottles that a younger me would have loved but older me could do with out.
…..
……..
……….
oh crap! She reminds me of Dandelion from Barbie Fairytopia!

Magic Mixies Pixlings
Moose Toys really does make cute stuff.
I'm giving Unia (The pink Allicorn doll) to my grandkids on Sunday, and I plan to have the table clear for her arrival, plus "magic workshop" items already set up.
I was That Potions Kid. I'd mix anything up and call it a potion. My inner child is screaming and running around about these dolls. I picked two up at Aldi long before Christmas because it said "pixie" and I thought "why not?"
Then I did my research. Oh God. Oh no. Oh my stars and garters. (Hyperfixation increasing)
I figured out how to tell who is who (the color of the gemstone on the front of the bottle) and snagged a few more.
Today is Boxing Day, or as a doll collector, UnBoxing day.
Time for a dry run for the Magic Pixie day on Sunday.
Bottle, tray, water pitcher. (I'm going to use a smaller, maybe fancier water pitcher next time. Maybe a teapot!)
Now remove the strip from the side...
Hey! What are you two doing here?!
Take this part off.
Ok, Unica, I'll do that.
Wait! I can see her!
You're not supposed to be visible yet, sis!
Looks like she got turned around in the bottle. (For those who don't want a big production number for a simple unboxing, you actually can just pull the center out. Skip to the end of the instructions.)
Ah, the "remove" tag had gotten squished into the neck of the bottle. That tag keeps the doll in place. I returned her to the correct direction and pulled the tab.
Stay tuned for more!
