‘Twilight’s Jacob Black Gets The Barbie Treatment
Back in August we learned that Twilight characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen would be made into collectible Barbie dolls to be released for sale in time for the release of the sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon next week. Today we learn that Twilight character Jacob Black will also get the Barbie doll treatment. Unfortch for the members of Team Jacob, his doll won’t be released until next year … but the good news is that the doll comes with as little clothing as possible:
From the press release: The passion, action and suspense of a worldwide phenomenon will be eternally celebrated … in plastic! The Twilight Saga — which struck the hearts of millions, with a Romeo & Juliet-style romance between a mortal (Bella) and a vampire (Edward) — is immortalized not by a vampire’s bite, but by Barbie® doll. The Twilight Barbie® dolls pay tribute to the beloved characters of Stephenie Meyer’s spellbinding story — Bella Swan, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. Edward’s strong jaw line and vampire-glow and Bella’s long brunette hair and innocent face showcase the pivotal “Forever 17” scene from Twilight. While Jacob’s mysterious gaze, sculpted abs and well-worn cutoff shorts mirror his physical emergence from boy to werewolf in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. The Twilight Barbie® collection is a must-have for Twilight fans and Barbie® collectors alike. In anticipation for the release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the Edward and Bella dolls are available now for a suggested retail price of $24.95. Timed to the DVD release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the Jacob Twilight Barbie doll will be available in February 2010 for a suggested retail price of $24.95.
LOL. They gave the poor doll a pair of cutoff shorts, some shoes … and that’s it! Hahahahha. Love it. You may recall that we saw a prototype Jacob Black doll at San Diego Comic Con over the Summer which was shirtless as well. This doll is a bit less ripped as that doll was so depending on how ripped you want your shirtless dolls to be, you might want to wait for the release of that Jacob Black doll. And suddenly, I’m aware of the ridiculousness of this discussion. So let’s move on — after the jump, check out a promo photo of all three Twilight Barbie dolls posed together for a refresher of what they all look like …
Bells Swan and Edward Cullen are fully clothed, Jacob is practically nekkid. Who knew that playing with Barbies could be so fun?!

Blech! I loved Barbies as a kid and I like Twilight but I think these dolls are horrible. I’ve seen much better doll versions of the Twilight cast – but I can’t remember which one they were… And why is Jacob so white? That’s good that he’s paler than Edward but I think he should be a lot more tan and Native-American looking.
