tweens who are into twilight are well beyond being interested in dolls….not to mention that they were never into barbie because bratz were their choice when they were into dolls…. maybe it’ll be a collectible.

I’m torn because I absolutely LOVE to collect the different collector’s editions of that Mattel puts out for Barbie, but I’m not so hot about it being Twilight.

@neptune – agree. they totally over produced twilight items, and even if the fans wanted to buy everything they couldn’t afford it. but there are still several movies to come out and i’m sure everything will sell.

All the stores in my town over bought Twilight stuff thinking they would just FLY off the shelves. Theres Twilight books coming out the wazoo. 10 bucks, 40% off. Tables of them xD.

Thing is, 12 year old girls don’t have that kinda money.

Now theres going to be 500 Twilight Barbie’s

I love the book series( I liked the series before it ever got crazy poplular, no one even heard of it when I read the first one), and have been collecting Barbies since I was a kid. I don’t think I’d pay 34.00 for each one, but I’ll keep my eye on them and if they go on sale, I’ll most likely get them to add to my collection :) :)

I think the Edward doll looks a bit like Michael Myers…

The dolls are nice, and are not even over-priced. But I think this is pretty stupid if you are over the age of 10.

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t like the idea of kids playing with vampires.

They should just make sex toys out of their likeness.. you know girls are do nasty things using this doll anyway.. at least make it safe for them.. (oh.. and probably plenty of little boys will be too ..)

I don’t get the Twilight craze… (haven’t/won’t read the books, going by the movie) .. The story is weak, the acting was mediocre, the look of the movie was drab, and the writer takes a great liberty calling it a vampire story.. obviously isn’t a fan of the genere of maybe something would have been right.

who buys dolls about twilight? why do that when you could buy a darth vader or a doctor who?

Can you imagine all the dirty things these damn kids are going to do with these dolls?? How many girls are going to pull the pants down first thing when they get their Edward doll? Not me, of course..That would be..Weird..

@ Janelle – Yes, it is stupid but I’m sure kids who are in their early, early teens and kids who aren’t in their teens who are a fan of the movie will buy this crap. At least these dolls don’t look as nearly bad as the other ones.

ok so i love twilight just as much as any other sane fan would without being a crazed fan but sereously they’ve gone a little far. people think they can make something related just a little with Twilight, slap a ridiculous price tag on it and make millions, and those little pre teens just eat it up! this is like highschool musical all over. if your willing to spend $50 on a barbie that costed them $2 to make, you’ve fallen off the wagon a few too many times.

So does this mean that Barbie and Ken are reuniting after their split? Is this a publicity stunt?! lol Yeah I think I’ll pass on the dolls thanks
