Mattel capitalizes on Twilight with themed Barbie and Ken dolls

For mature enthusiasts with a pretty penny to spend, Tonner Twilight dolls are an option. For the teen digging the Hot Topic vibe (and moms not wanting to spend triple digits) the broody Edward doll makes a fantastic addition to the family.

Now, Mattel is capitalizing on the Twilight frenzy with Twilight inspired Barbie and Ken dolls. Even their description of the pair is cause for a giggle fit for tweens:

And so the lion fell in love with the lamb. Twilight has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon developing a strong core base of dedicated fans who are drawn to the story of a Romeo & Juliet style romance between mortal (Bella) and vampire (Edward). Who better to capture the young star-crossed love of these two characters than Barbie & Ken? Edward is luminescent with a shimmering complexion and trademark gold eyes. Bella is dressed in her signature outfit from the movie.

These dolls run $34.99 each and will be available October 20, but you can preorder the dolls and have them in time to stuff your tween’s Christmas stocking!
