A First-Hand Review of New Twilight Dolls

Lori Joffs from Nashville, who co-owns the Twilight Lexicon website, got to see the new prototypes at a recent convention and was impressed with the new additions.

"Both Alice and Victoria look amazing - just gorgeous, and they said another Twilight doll will be released soon."

Let's hope the mass-produced dolls are as gorgeous as the ones Lori saw.

    This makes absolutely no sense at all. They made a Victoria Barbie doll, but not a Rosalie or Esme?

    Does Mattel realize that they chose a villain as one of the Barbie Dolls? Victoria, in the storyline of Twilight, is focused on killing Bella. Victoria is evil; not exactly the type of character that renders a positive image.

    they probably made the Victoria doll as Rachell Le Favre is drop dead gorgeous & every little girl will love the dress style, hair style & evertthing else about her, I LOVE that doll & would gladly add it to my collection of dolls, along with the other dolls when they become available. twi-hard FAN!!!

    Mattel has been doing villains for a long time. Take the Wizard of Oz series -- the MANY Wizard of Oz series all feature the Wicked Witch. Or look at the Great Villains Collection of Barbie doll villains by Mattel -- nothing new here.

    I want to know what dolls are scheduled to come out when!!?? I am so excited about Jane , I want them all lol! Any idea of the time line they are thinking?

    sorry about putting amp[ in, I meant and but got excited with the typing & the dolls, however I am SO SAD & UPSET that the producer of Breaking Dawn didn't want James Franco in the Breaking Dawn series, he is my very favorite acter, can do anything & would have put a hell of a spin on the character of the traveling nomad gypsy vampire! Can't he be convinced to change his mind about the casting before they start shooting those scenes????? He has my votes!!!
