Diamond Genie thoughts

Postby nascar246788 » Fri Mar 29, 2019 3:44 am

I got my diamond genie at my local hot topic store today. I think this one looks great. It might be the best diamond yet in my opinion. It looks so good, I had to get it. What does everyone else think?

Took a little bit for me, but the Diamond series has grown on me. Added genie to the collection this morning.

I'm still not a huge fan of the Diamond collection, but Genie is definitely one of the best they've done.

I like the Diamond collection, but don't get all of them. I agree the Genie one looks really nice, but I'm not a huge fan of the character. If it's still around for the next round of Hot Cash, I might be tempted.

Not a fan of the glitter blast treatment but I will say this one is by far my favorite. Love how the different colors on the Genie and Lamp contrast against eachother with the glitter texture.

I'm not a fan of the Diamond Series. To me, they look like they got a Drag Queen Makeup Transformation.

I'm not a huge fan of the Diamond ones, and Genie I don't think was necessary, but still won't stop me from buying it for my collection. :-"

It's one of the better one's done. It's between this one, dumbo and abominable snowman for the best glitter job. Hope they keep making awesome one's like this!

I dislike surface glitter quite a lot, but I think this is the first one where the Diamond looks better than the common, just about. I'd've considered getting this if it wasn't for the GitD one!

I agree it is the best one. I didn't get the abominable snowman because I already had the one from the parks, but yeah I think these three are the best looking so far. I think dumbo looked amazing before Genie came along. I think Genie is better then dumbo in my opinion.

Pretty similar to me with flounder being the one I didn't buy form you list. I have some diamond series I regret purchasing, but definitely don't regret this one and dumbo.

Yeah I think it is super close between this and dumbo, but I think Genie takes the bacon for sure.

Looks amazing. I bought one last night online. Cost me $18 but I think it was totally worth it.
