Twilight Dolls - Get Your Own Edward, Bella or Jacob Doll

With the outstanding success of the Twilight books and movies, all sorts of merchandise has become available to tantalize Twilight devotees. One item that has been released quite recently are Twilight dolls. These dolls serve two purposes. They can be simple toys to live out Twilight fantasies and role play various scenes from the movies/books. Or they can be kept in their wrappers and saved as a collectible. Although there are sure to be many of these dolls produced, collecting and keeping them in mint condition could prove to be a wish choice with a bit of time in between.

There are two types of dolls that are made by different companies. The most recently released dolls are the Twilight Barbie dolls. They are termed the Pink Label Barbie dolls by Mattel Toys to indicate their exclusivity as a collectible. At the moment they only make the Edward Barbie doll and the Bella Barbie doll. (and in case you were wondering, no Edward does not look like a Barbie doll, more like a Ken doll). These dolls are officially licensed as authentic merchandise of the Summit Entertainment  company. This means that some of the clothing and even the stand for the dolls has the Summit Entertainment logo or tag for authenticity (this helps for collectibles).

The Twilight Barbie dolls stand at around 12 inches. They have all the usual functions of a standard Barbie doll, such as bending legs and a head that can turn from side to side. The body is a hard plastic which is hollow.

As with most special interest Barbie dolls, the face and clothing give the dolls their identity. The Edward and Bella dolls wear outfits that are similar to the clothing worn by the characters in the films. Other than the clothing, the faces bear similarities to the characters (or rather to the real life actors Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart). I think this is more the case for Edward as he is more striking. The Edward doll has pale white skin, a spiky brown hairstyle and hazel brown eyes. The Bella doll also has pale skin, long brown hair and green/brown colored eyes.

The other line of Twilight dolls are made by NECA. These dolls are smaller than the Barbie version. They stand at around 8 inches. These dolls are far more detailed but apparently do not bend at the knees. Although apparently there are 10 articulation points to these dolls (which are actually referred to as action figures, not sure what the difference is). So they must move at the arms, head and waist to say the least.

Probably the best part of the NECA Twilight dolls is that they produce a Jacob Black and Alice Cullen doll. So if you really want to collect a few Twilight dolls this might be for you. They are also a good deal cheaper than the Barbie dolls.

Twilight Dolls Background

Twilight has been described as a cultural phenomenon. This is probably because so many people have responded to the story, and not just as a passing whimsy but as a full blown addiction. People love the story, love the characters and follow every development fanatically.

The books were written by Stephenie Meyer. There are currently 4 books, two have been made into films – Twilight and New Moon. Another book is currently in writing, and retells much of the story from Edward Cullen's perspective (the previous books where from Bella Swan's perspective).

They tell the story of a romance between a human girl and a vampire. Bella falls for Edward and much of the books detail this relationship and the difficulties that ensue. For instance, many vampires want to drink Bella's blood which puts her in extreme danger if she hangs around with Edward. And of course Vampire society frowns on the relationship too.

Other aspects of the books introduce werewolves to the storyline in the shape of Jacob Black and his family.
