If you are a 5 year old kid, it's hamsters. If you are a teenager, then it's Twilight. What, you haven't heard of the Twilight series ? Some have even described it as a cultural phenomenon because of the extent that it has moved people. In short, it is a romance story about a teenage girl that falls for a vampire. And with the recent release of the 2nd movie, New Moon, various merchandise has been produced to tie in.
One such item that ties in is the Twilight Dolls and action figures. They are bound to sell well over Christmas and onwards, as Twilight fanatics collect all sorts of memorabilia of their favorite story. Or many people will prefer to leave them in the packaging as a collectible.
At this stage, you will find two varieties of Twilight dolls. There are the dolls produced by Mattel Toys and action figures by NECA.
The Mattel dolls are the famous Barbie dolls - Yes, Twilight has been given the Barbie treatment. If there was ever any doubts that the Twilight story was a phenomenon, then being turned into a Barbie doll series must seal the deal.
At present the Twilight Barbie dolls only feature Edward and Bella, but there are reports that Jacob will soon be made. Bella looks like a Barbie, with changes to the face to look more like Kirsten Stewart. And the outfit looks like one that may have been worn by Bella in the movies. The Edward doll bears a resemblance to actor Robert Pattinson who plays Edward in the movie (or rather the face does). Other than that, the doll is basically a Ken doll. The doll's clothing is similar to how the character might have dressed in the movies. These are authentic merchandise, which include a tag on the clothing and a logo on the stand from Summit Entertainment to vouch for this fact.
Looking for your own Twilight Barbie Doll ? Then check out the latest Barbie Twilight Edward Doll. They are currently reasonably priced but this could go up if demand really takes off.
The NECA dolls are also described as action figures. They are a bit smaller than the Barbie dolls. They are also cheaper but there are more characters to choose from. This includes Jacob Black, Alice Cullen and the star struck lovers. They are a fun little toy or can be collected if that is your thing. If you get one of these action figures, you will want all of them. - 30443
