If you are a little kid then it’s the hamster craze. If you are a teenager, then it’s the Twilight series. 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 tale of love and romance between a girl and a boy that turns out to be a vampire. And with the new release of the second movie, New moon, all sorts of accompanying 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 present there are two varieties of Twilight dolls. There are the dolls made by Mattel and those made 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 Barbie dolls must be the clincher.

Right now, only Bella and Edward Barbie dolls are made but a Jacob doll is rumoured to be on the shelves soon. Bella looks like a Barbie, with changes to the face to look more like Kirsten Stewart. And the clothes look like those worn by Bella in the films. The Edward doll’s face is similar to that of the actor who play Edward, Robert Pattinson. Other than that, the doll is basically a Ken doll. The outfit is like the clothing that the character wore in the movies. These are authentic merchandise and have a tag or logo from Summit Entertainment to vouch for this fact.
