These quirky fairy dolls have been a hit ever since they first came out in 2004. They’re based off of the wildly popular Italian TV series, Winx Club, which follows the adventures of a group of tween-aged fairies who attend the Alfea College as they learn to protect the universe.

Many survival games start off the same way. You have little at your disposal but the sweat on your brow, and through punching trees and kicking rocks, you build new structures and gain ways to punch trees and kick rocks more effectively. You take wood and stone for granted and move onto bigger aims, going from the humble tent you start with to a house, and then a mansion, where trees are punched and rocks are kicked to get the resources needed for a marble fireplace rather than a simple campfire required to stave off the deathly cold and heat up your humble meals....
