Barbie Twilight Edward DollBarbie Twilight Edward Doll – Get The Edward Barbie Doll Today

Barbie Twilight Edward dolls are sure to be a popular toy or collectible item as he is the main male character in the Twilight series and readers/viewers of the books/movies have really taken him to their hearts. They also seem pretty keen on the actor that portrayed him, Robert Pattinson, if the hordes of screaming fans whenever he attends a social event are anything to go by.

The Edward Barbie doll arrived in the stores early November 2009 to coincide with the release of the latest Twilight movie, New Moon. The doll is developed by Mattel Toys, the owner of the Barbie brand, in conjunction with Summit Entertainment (the makers of the Twilight movies). It is officially endorsed as authentic Twilight merchandise by Summit Entertainment. It currently retails around the $25 mark (currently it is being discounted at Amazon) but this may go up in future as demand for the doll exceeds supply. As Edward is one of the most popular characters in the story, these Twilight dolls will probably go up in price.

The Edward doll is a standard Ken doll (Barbie's boyfriend) but has been modified to look like Edward/Robert Pattinson. It has the iconic spiky/scruffy hairstyle that the character is noted for. The doll has a pale white complexion. He wears dark black shoes, a pair of blue faded jeans, a blue buttoned shirt and a charcoal gray jacket that also has buttons. The clothing has Summit labels to authenticate the products as genuine articles (for collectible purposes).

In fact the face and the clothing are they only things that tell you that the doll is a Twilight character (unless you look at the markings.) Other than that, he is a standard Ken doll. He stands at around 12 inches. He has flexible knees so that he can bend and sit down. The head can also swivel left to right and up and down.

The doll is designated as a Pink Label Barbie doll, this is for collectors purposes as it tells them how exclusive the item is. It also comes in pink trimmed packaging, with a plain plastic front piece and sides so that the doll can be viewed easily without need to remove the packaging. It can be purchased separately or as part of a set with the Bella Swan doll. The Edward Barbie doll would make an ideal gift for Christmas for Twilight fans or Doll collectors.

Background On Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is a vampire that lives in a vampire coven that he refers to as his family. The head of the family was the vampire that turned Edward into a vampire. The family are described as being slightly different from most other vampires because they are vegetarian vampires. This means that they do not feed on humans (only animals) for blood.

This makes it possible for Edward to have a relationship with the human Bella. However the relationship is a constant battle because most 'normal' vampires want to kill Bella. Edward is forced to protect her from other vampires and reconcile his feeling for her with this as a backdrop.

Bella has no doubts about her feelings for Edward and puts herself in great danger to be with him. This development of the relationship between human vampire girl and actual vampire is the central theme of all the books and movies.
