Hiya folks, I'd like to dedicate this weeks ZOTW to a special Zelf, Spellinda! She was one of my first ever Zelfs, and is definitely one of my favourite Series 1's! Spellz is a beautiful shade of vivid teal, with black and magenta striped hair, with pink inner ears and soft pink eyes, a friendly warm face with a cheeky grin, and black and magenta stars, swirls and a black cat motif on her legs, tummy and head! I don't know why, but to me she is the quintessential Zelf and the one that automatically pops into my head when I think about them, she is one of the core 4, and represents Love as her Zelf Power, and we all need Love in our lives! What is it about Spellinda, that you like/love/hate??? Do you have any pics of her??? She's at her best around Halloween I think, and I will take pictures in the next few days of her doing what she does best! Being Zelftastic!!!

Omigosh, I love her! I have the original medium Spellinda and the masquerade version. I think of them as sister and brother, respectively. LOL. I always thought it would have been cool for Moose Toys to package her with a little pet cat, but it never happened. I love her tiny black cat design. The cat is on the leg in the original version, and on the chest in the masquerade version. I just went out to take this picture, and it immediately started raining. This is literally the only picture I managed to get before the rain started.

Aww, I love Spellinda! I don't have her (yet! but she's getting sent over to me by somebody VERY kind and awesome on this very forum! ) but I'm really excited about her. I love her colourscheme, and I'm just such a sucker for spooky/Halloween themed toys, so she's a winner for me. Plus, CAT.

Oooh I never noticed that before?!? I wonder why they changed the colour of her eyes for the Masquerade version (from pink to yellow?) I just saw on Violets picture, and had to go check my collection, she's the only one whose eyes changed, and then back to pink again for the Zelicious variant??? Hmmmmm.........?

I think of Spellinda as the representative Zelf too. With her simple shape reminds me of classic Troll Dolls, and with her vivid green she looks like a little goblin! And her little marks spread here and there ends up showing the signature Zelf style. She was the first Zelf I got, from Poland, 8 euros (in Spain they were insanely expensive, so I took the opportunity while in holidays... ). She's got some ink stains from that travel (the bottom of my bag was stained but didn't think that it would bleed on her!) I couldn't take off, but since they are not too visible I don't mind them.

Spellinda is a cutie but sadly she hasn't wowed me enough to go out and buy her. (Well... not technically true. I do love her masquerade aside from the mask which I really dislike ^^; And I do actually own her zelicious but I only bought that to qualify for Cleocat.. she's still boxed and in the sale pile..) And I do agree, I would have liked her to come with a little black cat because what witch isn't complete without a black cat?

I hope that with the mini playsets that come with the Crystals in Series 5, it will lead onto introducing mini playsets for the original Zelfs like Spellinda, how cute would the Witchbrew Bistro playset be? A mini cauldron, broom, black cat and some spell books/potions?!?

I totally forgot there was a Zelicious Spellinda, which some people were calling Spellminta. I actually have that one and forgot she was technically another version of Spellinda. Heh heh. Now I feel the need to photograph all three together.

I prefer Spellinda, to Buttershy and Vampula for sure! There's something a little bit different about her in each variant (normal, masq and zelicious) I guess Vamps does too really! But I guess because she's not as girly as the other two makes me like her more!

Finally got around to doing a picture of all three medium-sized variations. Sorry it took so long. Better late than never, I guess! I've been insanely busy this past week. From left to right are Masquerade Spellinda, Mint Spellinda (Spellminta), and the original Series 1 Spellinda. Spellminta has pink eyes like the original Spellinda has.

Aw, I love Spellinda! She was amongst the first few Zelfs I ever owned. I love mint green on toys, and I love her little kitty! It's funny actually, shortly after this post was made I found a Zelicious Spellinda in a charity store - My first charity store Zelf find!
