"Vanilla's Frosty Sleighride"? Now I just want a cupcake or something.
Well played, Huwbot. Well played.
This set is an insult to the name “Ultimate Collector Series.”
While well-timed with the winter holiday, this is awfully pink for being a Bionicle set.
BrickLink has a slightly larger image for anyone that cares: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?S=5842-1
It gives you a better look at the creepy butterfly hair clip... which also has its own closeup: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=42498c02pb01
Looks uncomfortable with those exposed studs. A nice warm cushion to sit on might be an idea...
Belville has fun parts! I want to go buy the teal helicopter skis now.
I don't know what I'd use them for, but they're neat...

Maybe Princess Vanilla is sitting on the dog?
Oh that treasure chest is nice!
I have most (if not all) of the pieces for this set - even the butterfly clip... It's so creepy, weird and un-LEGO-like that I almost like it.
There are some pretty useful parts in this set!
Has this sleigh really been in the movie? I didn't spot it.
Reminds me of that Turkish Delight moment with that snow queen and one of the Narnia kids
To quote C3PO: "How horrid!"
Wait, is Vanilla the horse or the girl?
Looks like a playmobil horse..

I think the girl is Princess Vanilla. All the prince and princesses were named after flavors/spices.
With those color and parts, this set isn't "Vanilla" at all!
^How could I be the first person to make that comment?
The sleigh and treasure chest are actually quite nice, but the horses and dolls from this line always creeped me out.

There is no Vanilla Ice reference here. Strange...
Huwbot's being Huwbot.
Huwbot's going for the subtle transition back to Clikits I see.
