The dream of dating Robert Pattinson and using your teeth to take off the white tee he’s sporting on the new cover of Vanity Fair might be just out of reach, but you can console yourself with the new Twilight Barbies. That’s right, Mattel has just come out with tiny plastic versions of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, complete with pale skin and deep, haunted expressions.
According to the Mattel website: “Broodingly handsome, this doll captures the character of Edward perfectly. From his chiseled features, golden eyes, and shimmering complexion, to his stylish clothing from the film, you too will swoon for this irresistible immortal!” Done and done.
As for Kristen’s Bella doll: “With long brunette locks, an innocent expression, and her trademark outfit from the film (stylish jeans, sneaks, and a gray jacket), the Twilight Bella doll epitomizes her namesake. Add both dolls to your collection to reunite them for eternity!” This meeting will cost you $24.95 for each doll.
Robert’s Vanity Fair will be on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday November 4, and nationwide on the 10th. New Moon hits theaters November 20. It must be a pretty harrowing time for the self-deprecating heartthrob: “I’m unbearably self-conscious about stuff,” he said in VF. He said that the paparazzi have made him terrified that his “ass crack is showing.”
I wonder what he thinks about the ass crack of his new plastic replica.
Huh, not really sure what the norm for these sort of things are, but neither doll looks anything like who they are supposed to portray. I mean, sure, maybe a little. They got the sex right, hair color too. But outside of that?
I mean, maybe show a little bit of teeth or something? Give a little vampire-ish clue?
